The Big Bang Theory @ Comic-Con Report

2le17vs.jpg

The cast of the show does hang out off the set. In fact, series

stars series stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon

Helberg and Kunal Nayyar rented a boat the day before an piloted

around the waters of San Diego.

They all receive complaints if they get something scientifically

wrong. However, they do have a consultant that fact checks some of the

stuff they mention. When the cast was asked if they feel any smarter

now than they did when the first season began, Simon, who plays

Wolowitz, said that they are just as dumb as they have always been.

The geekiest things about themselves: Kunal, who plays

Koothrappali, is an amateur badminton athlete, which is a cool sport

in India, he said, but not in the U.S. For Simon, "You can't tell by

looking at me?" Actually, Simon had a ducktail in the 80s that he

cutoff and kept. Kaley, who plays Penny, said she feels like she's a

total nerd all of the time. She is also awesome at ping-pong. For Jim,

Sheldon on BBT, the timbre of his voice is a bit geeky. Johnny, who

plays Leonard on the show, also had a ducktail. His geekiest moment

was that he was into theatre in elementary school in Chicago while all

of his friends were playing hockey. That, and he played the cello.

"Yes, I was a rock star," he quipped. Johnny also loved to collect

Star Wars and G.I.Joe figures.

What made Bill Brady geeky was the fact that he was a computer

programmer prior to his role as television show creator. Also the fact

that he didn't ask a girl out until he was 24-years-old. Chuck Lorre's

claim to geekiness was the countless hours he spent in his basement

building monster models. "Mostly for the glue," he added.

The characters on The Big Bang Theory are based on people that

Bill used to work with when he was a computer programmer.

There was a previous BBT pilot that was created for CBS. But,

according to Lorre "it sucked." The pilot was re-shot thanks to the

chemistry between Johnny and Jim and the blessings of CBS.

When describing the characters it was mentioned that Sheldon and

Leonard have like minds and, together, they create a genius. However,

when Penny comes along a caring begins to emerge in Leonard that

Sheldon gets defensive about. Kaley mentioned that Penny is genuinely

sweet and loves all of the guys, even though she plays with their

minds a bit. All she wants to do is help them in her own way.

Bill Prady said that the character Wolowitz came from someone he

previously worked with in the IT environment. Chuck Lorre added, "The

archetype for Simon's character is Pepe Le Pew.

What would they love to do with their characters: Kunal would

love to see his character talk to women without having to get drunk to

do it. For Simon, the answer was obvious. "He wants it so bad," he

added. Jim also said that he would want his character to speak to

women. Kaley said she would like Penny to become a green-skinned Orion

woman (as suggested by an audience member). Johnny was happy to see

where Leonard he is right now.

Sara Gilbert Confirmed as Regular

Question: I know you refuse to report on The Big Bang Theory even though it gets just as good as ratings as How I Met Your Mother, but many people like it and care about it. -- Scott

Ausiello: Whatchoo talkin' bout Willis? I worship BBT -- even more so now that Sara Gilbert is a full-fledged series regular! "I?m not sure if I?m going to be in every episode this year, but I?m going to be a regular," Gilbert confirmed to EW.com last Friday. "I had always been interested in doing another sitcom. I love the energy from the audience. It?s just a perfect situation." Refuse to report on Big Bang Theory? How very dare you.

Wow not long :D

Other than The Office, this is the only broadcast television show I have scheduled on my DVR (that is a current show). I love The Big Bang Theory, it's a shame pretty much all my friends and co-workers are stuck on stupid with Desperate Housewives or some reality show.

Wait what no one replied last week :(

This weeks was funny and if Kaley keeps wearing those tops I am soooooold.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
