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.

haha, I just forgot about this thread :p

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
