With every successful, long-running sitcom, there's usually at least one person left behind in the early stages who could've had a massive career-defining role but lost it for one reason or another. "Always Sunny," for instance, almost had Jordan Reid playing Dee, but she ended up departing from the series due to some messy real-life relationship drama with Rob McElhenney. It's fascinating in part because of what it tells us about the version of the show we almost had, but also because it's hard not to feel bad for Reid, who missed out on a widely beloved (and very lucrative) part, one that easily surpasses every one she had before or after.
Even with regular casting situations, it's easy to sympathize with all the people who missed out on a life-changing role. What happened to the kid who was second-up to Daniel Radcliffe for "Harry Potter," or the kids who...

Both The Office and The Big Bang Theory have left an indelible mark on television, starring several beloved and memorable characters. However, while both sitcoms enjoyed widespread acclaim, their respective approach to character development has been varied.

The CBS sitcom has particularly faced criticism for its controversial plot twist in the Season 8 finale, revealing that Leonard cheated on Penny, which has since been deemed one of the worst developments in the sitcom. However, The Office star John Krasinski was presented with a similar plot development, which he chose to decline.

"The Big Bang Theory" enjoyed a 12-season run as one of the most popular sitcoms on television, but you might not know that the pilot that ultimately aired on CBS wasn't creator Chuck Lorre's first attempt at the project. That unaired original pilot? It's pretty weird, objectively bad, and very different from the show most fans recognize.
In the pilot of "The Big Bang Theory" that made it to air, Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) head home from an "errand" — they try to donate sperm to a "high-iq" bank, only to panic and run — to find their new neighbor Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moving in across the hall. Leonard is immediately smitten with Penny, much to Sheldon's consternation, and he readily invites her into their apartment to meet their friends Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Raj Koothrappali and eat some lunch. From there, Leonard's pursuit...

In the season 8 premiere of "The Big Bang Theory," Kaley Cuoco's character Penny debuted a shocking haircut ... and apparently, the actor sort of regretted it in the first place.
For the previous seven seasons, Penny was known for her flowing blonde locks — and as Cuoco revealed in Jessica Radloff's oral history "'The Big Bang Theory:' The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" (via Us Weekly), she didn't necessarily tell anyone about the big chop. I"I just f**king cut my hair off and didn't tell anyone," Cuoco said. "I did it for an independent film called 'Burning Bodhi,' and basically showed up to our 'Big Bang' wrap party with short hair."
Not only did Cuoco need to cut her hair for "Burning Bodhi," a 2015 film that co-starred Sasha Pieterse ("Pretty Little Liars") and Meghann Fahy ("The White Lotus), but she was...

Chuck Lorre's and Bill Prady's sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" debuted in 2007, when "geek culture," previously considered a fringe group, had already handily become mainstream. Media that was once considered only acceptable for an unseen minority of nerds -- "Lord of the Rings," video games, comic books -- was now leading the charge of popular entertainment, and a sitcom starring "nerds" was more relatable than ever. Indeed, "The Big Bang Theory" proved that there was a divide between what mainstream culture previously thought nerds looked like, and what they were actually like; one might have known a real-life pop culture obsessive who resented the broad, inaccurate archetypes presented on "The Big Bang Theory."
Regardless, the show was a massive success, lasting 279 episodes over 12 seasons. The series mostly took place in the apartment of Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons), two highly intelligent, doctorate-holding young nerds, and their...

It has been almost 5 years since the conclusion of The Big Bang Theory. But there are endless stories surrounding the characters that people still talk about to this day. One such sequence takes place between Jim Parsons’ Sheldon Cooper and Kaley Cuoco’s Penny. After coming across the scene again on social media, fans can’t help but wonder how he kept a straight face throughout the sequence.

The Big Bang Theory might have nailed the science jokes, but there’s one scene that left fans feeling seriously uncomfortable, and it wasn’t Sheldon’s fault for once. During what should’ve been a light-hearted moment, things took a wrong turn involving a legendary actress who had passed away in real life. Instead of paying tribute, the show seemed to brush over the emotional weight, leaving viewers cringing in their seats.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” they say. But when it comes to Big Ed, it seems like confidence is in the heart and soul of the beholder—because this guy has turned self-assurance into an art form. Let’s face it: if confidence were a currency, he would be rolling in the dough. You might recognize him as the unforgettable star of 90 Day Fiancé, but for him, life’s spotlight has always shone a little differently, most noticeably due to a rare condition called Klippel-Feil syndrome (Kfs).

The Big Bang Theory was a combination of many things. It had laughter-filled moments as well as several emotional scenes. The show heavily focused on the friendship of four nerdy but genius individuals. And, it also never failed to capture their unique ability to tune out of the world once they locked into a project.

Portrayed by Jim Parsons in the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper quickly became the standout character among the ensemble cast. While he is widely loved by fans, his behavior towards the other characters often sparked controversy, particularly due to his rigid adherence to his own preferences.

When it comes to The Big Bang Theory, fans know the writers had a bit of a love-hate relationship with Raj. But Jim Parsons, always sharp and ahead of the curve, predicted something about the show that hit hard in the finale—and yeah, we’re all nodding in sad agreement. Raj, the lovable astrophysicist, went from awkwardly silent around women to being done so dirty by the end.

While other characters got their fairy-tale conclusions, Raj was left… well, let’s just say without much fanfare. Was it a missed opportunity or a setup for a Raj redemption arc we never got? Either way, the finale gave us all the feels, but poor Raj deserved better.

Dave Bautista, whose latest action comedy The Killer’s Game comes to theaters this Friday, is ready to make hearts go pitter-pat by starring in a romantic comedy. In the past, Bautista questioned if he was “too unattractive” to become a silver-screen Lothario, asking Page Six in a 2023 interview, “Is there something that unappealing about me that excludes me from these parts?” Aww, Dave! Don’t listen to your Emo Teen Life Coach. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! I know plenty of people who find your rugged good looks alluring, and then some.
Fast-forward to the Los Angeles premiere of The Killer’s Game, where Bautista told The Hollywood Reporter that his Page Six comments “sparked quite a conversation, but I started getting a lot of phone calls after that.”
“I said that and started getting calls immediately,” Bautista continued. “So we’ve got a couple that we...

The Big Bang Theory was a beloved sitcom that took the genre to new heights with its sarcasm and humor. While the series was full of several laughter-filled and heartwarming moments, it wasn’t without its fair share of cringe-worthy character behavior. A Reddit user specifically pointed out Mayim Bialik’s character in a post.

The Big Bang Theory was filled with quirky science, nerdy humor, and iconic friendships, but not every storyline was a winner. In fact, one particular plot involving Johnny Galecki’s Leonard felt like a real Hail Mary, and nope, just not in a good way. Despite being the lovable underdog, Leonard was often thrown under the bus—demeaned, overlooked, and overshadowed.

While appearing on "The Big Bang Theory," the late James Earl Jones met one of his "Star Wars" castmates ... for the first time. How did that happen, and who was it?
I know it sounds wild, but the truth is that Jones and Carrie Fisher didn't actually perform together during the original "Star Wars" movies, because Jones only voiced the trilogy's main villain Darth Vader; the antagonist was physically portrayed by David Prowse, a British actor and bodybuilder who passed away in 2020. Prowse also said Darth Vader's lines on set, and ultimately, Fisher's lead character Princess Leia Organa only had a handful of scenes with the big bad — plus, as it turns out, the two never ended up meeting while doing press for the films. (Fisher tragically and quite unexpectedly passed away back in 2016 at the age of 60.)

Not every single episode of "The Big Bang Theory" is a winner — which makes sense. Chuck Lorre's hit CBS sitcom, which ran from 2007 to 2019 and spanned 12 seasons and 279 episodes, was always pretty well-received by audiences, but again, that's no guarantee that every single installment won them over. Aside from the show's unaired pilot, which is famously weird — and even features a totally different actor as Penny, who would eventually be played by Kaley Cuoco — there are a handful of episodes that just sort of stink, and we've compiled five of the biggest duds.
Whether it's because the characters are extra infuriating, there's a new character who really sucks, or the central group ends up separated, there are plenty of things that can make a "Big Bang Theory" episode less than great. These five are especially grating and ridiculous, so if you don't want to suffer through them, call this...

One of the show’s producers opened up about a major oops they wish they could take back—how the series treated fan-favorite Kaley Cuoco.

Ever dreamed of a The Big Bang Theory Penny spinoff? Hold onto your comic books because it could be closer than you think! But here’s the twist: Kaley Cuoco, aka Penny, is the key to making it happen. Yup, you read that right. If the show’s going to branch out, it’s got to hinge on one major plot point: the death of a core character.

"The Big Bang Theory" ended after 12 years and seasons (thanks to an insightful decision by star Jim Parsons), and in 2019, the series concluded with the season 12 finale "The Stockholm Syndrome." When all is said and done, it's a pretty solid ending for the series ... but how does that break down by character?
Fans who love "The Big Bang Theory" stick with the show precisely because they love its characters, especially its central group made up of Sheldon Cooper (Parsons), Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg), and Penny Hofstadter (Kaley Cuoco). Add in Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch as Sheldon's wife Amy Farrah Fowler and Howard's wife Bernadette Rostenkowski-Holowitz, respectively, and you've got a bunch of storylines to wrap up in "The Stockholm Syndrome." So how did they all fare?

Unlike Sheldon, Leonard, and Amy, Penny’s intelligence in The Big Bang Theory often gets overlooked following her lack of formal education in physics and mathematics. While Jim Parsons’ Sheldon is more academically well-versed and has a higher Iq than that of Kaley Cuoco’s Penny, this isn’t to say the latter can’t outsmart the former.

Although Penny might not be book smart like Sheldon, who ends up nabbing the Novel prize, there have been a more than few cases in which the former outplayed the scientist, thanks to her problem-solving abilities.
Kaley Cuoco’s Penny Has Proven To Be More Street-smart Than Sheldon
Even though Sheldon is arguably the smartest among the bunch when it comes to theoretical knowledge, he isn’t exactly street-smart. On the flip side, despite just having a modest education, on several occasions,...

Patrick Stewart has often spoken about his favorite episode in Star Trek: The Next Generation. While many episodes have become iconic in fans’ minds, the fifth season episode ‘The Inner Light’ has often been regarded as the best episode of Tng and on some occasions, the entire franchise.
The episode won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation. However, its deep philosophical ruminations and Picard’s solo act have received much fanfare. Writer Morgan Gendel was reportedly brought in as a freelance writer and had to go above and beyond to make his pitch come to life.

Jim Parsons is still scratching his head over how The Big Bang Theory pulled off a sneaky plot twist that even Sheldon Cooper’s massive brain didn’t see coming! The famously stubborn genius, known for his rigid ways, got tangled up in a storyline that somehow managed to skip right over his signature obstinacy.

The Black List, the company behind the annual list of best unproduced screenplays, is expanding into fiction, launching initiatives focusing on unpublished manuscripts, the company announced on Wednesday.
Writers will have the opportunity to showcase completed novels on the website, pay for feedback from the organization’s readers and submit manuscripts to various fiction programs. The former director of writing programs at the Center for Fiction Randy Winston will oversee the organization’s expansion into fiction.
The Black List noted that the goal of the initiative is to bridge the gap between early-career writers and the publishing arena.
Black List founder and CEO Franklin Leonard told the New York Times in an interview that the lack of visibility “has really negative consequences for the writers who are trying to get their work to somebody who can do something with it, but also for the publishing industry itself, because it’s...

The Black List – the company behind the annual list of Hollywood’s best unproduced screenplays — is expanding into fiction, launching several initiatives focused on unpublished manuscripts. In today’s announcement, The Black List said the goal of the expansion is to bridge the gap between early-career writers and the established publishing industry.
Black List founder and CEO Franklin Leonard said of the new efforts, “Expanding into fiction is a natural progression. Right now, there are brilliant writers around the world who don’t have access to high-quality, accountable feedback, and whose work goes unseen for reasons entirely unrelated to how good it is. That’s a massive market failure, and it changes today.”
Similar to The Black List offering professional feedback on unproduced screenplays, writers can now submit novels for paid feedback from the company’s readers, as well as create a free profile that showcases their completed works.

The main cast of The Big Bang Theory was no stranger to keeping secrets from each other in the show, especially Johnny Galecki’s Leonard. From hiding his separate bank account to harboring secret guilt about kissing another woman during his time partying with other scientists, Leonard had his fair share of undisclosed stuff.

Interestingly, things weren’t much different off-set, as his Tbbt costar, Kunal Nayyar, who played Raj, came clean about one gross act that Galecki kept on committing throughout the show’s tenure.

Daniel Craig is once again returning to the screens, though this time, he will be seen in a pretty much never-seen-before role. This is because this time, he will not be portraying a die-hard action hero like he did during his iconic Bond era, but rather, would be seen in a gay role in filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s next, Queer.

Of course, this would depict the 56-year-old actor in a new light, much different than the action hero persona he has created for himself. But while his change of lanes is one thing, what has fans truly divided is the director’s response when a fan asked Craig if his longtime character Bond could ever transform into an LGBTQ-themed storyline.

Quentin Tarantino has been fortunate enough to film a few episodes of some of his favorite television programs. But doing so seems to quickly ruin his enjoyment of the same shows he used to watch.
Quentin Tarantino once swore off shooting television show episodes Quentin Tarantino | Rich Polk/Getty Images
Tarantino has decided to lend his expertise in filmmaking to a couple of shows. He filled in as a guest director for the television series CSI in the 2000s. He helmed the two-parter season 5 finale “Grave Danger,” which he also ended up writing as well. He also faced little difficulty adapting to the limitations of network television than some might think, especially thanks to his admiration of the show.
“It wasn’t a challenge in that regard because … I like the show,” Tarantino once told Today. “I just wanted to do my episode of it. So the format was all the stuff I embrace.

Gene Roddenberry’s sci-fi series Star Trek boldly went where no other show in the genre went. While the show explored multiple philosophical questions and featured multiple alien worlds, it differed from the usual dystopian sci-fi franchises in providing a positive outlook on the future of humankind.
Roddenberry was known to have many rules in the characterization of the show’s many crews, which usually drove writers crazy. However, one rule from Roddenberry on Jonathan Frakes’ William Riker reportedly did not last past the first season. Frakes mentioned that Roddenberry told him that Riker would not smile as much.

A show doesn't necessarily have to feature "likable" characters in order to qualify as a "good" show. The characters on "Succession" are all varying degrees of reprehensible. Every single member of "the gang" on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is extremely horrible (on purpose). If you actively rooted for Walter White by the end of "Breaking Bad," you should give that a second thought. All of this is to say that likability isn't a required trait for fictional characters, but some shows do want you to relate to their characters somehow.
"The Big Bang Theory" doesn't have the venom or acidity of either "Succession" or "Always Sunny," and it seems to want you to identify with at least one of its main characters. Still, Chuck Lorre's show wants to have it both ways and paint these same characters as larger-than-life to the point where some of them are incredibly off-putting ... so much so,...

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was a surprising blend of time travel, comedy, and environmentalism which made it one of the biggest hits in 1986.

House is celebrating its 20th anniversary this fall so what better time to check in on how old the cast of the Fox hit was then and now!
Premiering on Nov. 16, 2004, House centered around Gregory House, an absolute medical genius with a Sherlock Holmes ability to unravel medical mysteries that baffled other doctors. However, thanks to pain from a blood clot in his leg that had him relying on a cane, House was also an arrogant, selfish, cynical jerk insulting everyone around him.
The show became one of Fox's biggest hits of the decade, running eight seasons with Laurie earning two Golden Globes and several Emmy nominations. It also boosted many of its cast to future stardom. So how old were the actors then and now?

The botched video transfer of “The Blair Witch Project” still haunts producer Mike Monello 25 years later.
The iconic horror film, which propelled the found footage genre into the 21st century, apparently has never been released as “intended,” according to Monello. A limited edition re-release with the correct version will be out on Blu-ray in November 2024 via Second Sight Films.
“In 1999, theatrical films didn’t originate on video, so there was no codified process for putting them out on video. So they did it like all films back then: They transferred the 35mm negative to video,” Monello tweeted. “Unfortunately, the 35mm negative is Not the actual camera negative. As a result, the version released for all forms of home video is incorrect. The colors, the motion, the strange rounded corners, it didn’t look like a home video, and it didn’t look like film.”

“In 1999, theatrical films didn’t originate on video, so there was no codified process for putting them out on video. So they did it like all films back then: They transferred the 35mm negative to video,” Monello tweeted. “Unfortunately, the 35mm negative is Not the actual camera negative.
