The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory – my favourite sitcom is coming to an end! Sniff! The Big Bang Theory has been my favourite since goodness knows when. Another contender vying for the to spot was the evergreen, super humerous FRIENDS(there was a time probably when I was in school when everything about it – even the title track was all the rage) – but, The Big Bang Theory beat it to be at the top of my list. 

The Big Bang Theory is about the daily life of a bunch of scientists, their journey across the years as they achieve milestones both professionally and personally, chronicled brilliantly and innovatively. The wry wit and clever retorts by each of the characters makes us break into peels of laughter atleast twenty times in five minutes.

All the characters come together in their own special way bringing in their own characteristic humour which makes almost every dialogue funny in an intelligent kind of way. My favourite character is that of Sheldon – a brilliant, nerdy theoretical physicist with abominably poor people skills. But it is this very trait that provides ample fodder for all the laughs with his ironic and sarcastic humour perfect in its comic timing.

Recently, I watched all of them on the Ellen De'Genres Show where the viewers were treated to interesting behind-the-scenes gossip about the final season. All the members of the cast were visibly sad and understandably so. I too wanted to cry with them and I did – in private of course. 

From now on I will have to convince myself to be satisfied with watching re-runs of the old episodes, everytime I wish to watch my favourite sitcom. But, the curiosity and eagerness that every new episode brings along with it will be sorely missed.
