![]() Often, visits from these scientists would inspire new storylines. I would warn my guests that the writers were going to steal their soul,” David says. ![]() “They were thinking of a future show, or I would bring a guest who was a scientist, and they would talk to that person. ![]() “How this turned into a permanent 12-year relationship – that’s lost history,” he says.Įvery week during production, David went to The Big Bang Theory tapings and chatted to the writers, who already had a lot of science knowledge between them. Since that trip, David has taken part in every taping of The Big Bang Theory. And so I tell my grad students that their real lives were too depressing,” David says. “One of the things they decided to change from one pilot to the next was to make it brighter, more colourful, a happier environment. It was set in New Jersey instead of Pasadena. The colours were darker the apartment was dingier. This trip was a big source of inspiration for the original, unaired pilot back in 2006 – a prototype. The set decorator wanted to see some student apartments too, so the crew took a trip to see where some of David’s graduate students lived. “And then through a friend of a friend of a friend situation, the producers were making this show and just wanted to have someone look at the first script.” Living here in Los Angeles, you meet a lot of people who are in show business,” he says. Becoming the brain behind The Big Bang Theory was a big, happy accident. He’s a professor and the physics and astronomy chair at UCLA (University of California), and has spent years working at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) – what he calls a Mecca for particle physicists. But being a TV science consultant was never in his career plan. This kind of quandary is now David’s world. “But it’s just not very interesting to not see them.” “You typically don’t see laser beams,” David says. You can imagine there are some very, very faint sound waves travelling through because something exploded, and then someone has a microphone and they’re picking it up and amplifying it.” “Space is a vacuum, but it’s not a complete vacuum,” he says. “People have tried to create space flights without sound, and they’re rather dull,” he says, so he understands why noisy space scenes are the directorial go-to. ![]() Professor David Saltzberg, science adviser on The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, isn’t convinced about the common myth that there is no sound in space, and wants us to give filmmakers a break. Or can you? When the Death Star exploded, should George Lucas have held the boom and lit a silent firework display? Should stormtroopers have quietly disintegrated? And should the Millenium Falcon have kept the racket down and glided through space without a sound? That way, you’d be human, fungus and algae. And if you think you hate Lorre (or if you’re looking for another reason to love him), just remember that he literally wrote the theme song for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.The best organism for human beings to merge with is the lichen itself. The Chuck Lorre machine cannot be stopped. The Big Bang Theory was a massive hit for CBS, and Young Sheldon is cruising on to season 7 - so a new spinoff show for Max makes good financial sense, whatever it turns out to be. In that sense, the show sounds like maybe a weird hybrid of Young Sheldon‘s structure and That ’90s Show‘s potential for free-flowing cameos. Space for cameos from the original cast would be possible though. There are presently no story details for the show at all, but per Variety, episodes are expected to run an hour and include a mostly new cast of characters. Series co-creator Chuck Lorre is developing the show, in addition to his continued work on Young Sheldon on CBS. Discovery has announced a new Big Bang Theory spinoff TV show is in the works for Max ( formerly HBO Max). All three of these groups are the reason why Warner Bros. And there are people who watched The Big Bang Theory in YouTube clips with the laugh track removed and reveled in their hatred of the show - who then linked the videos to everyone else they knew to justify their feelings. There are people who at first enjoyed The Big Bang Theory, then watched it slip and slide in quality, and stuck with it out of appreciation for the characters. There are people who enjoyed The Big Bang Theory wholeheartedly. There are, roughly, three types of Big Bang Theory watchers.
