S1E1: The Big Bang Theory

In many ways, "The Big Bang Theory" is what really brought nerd culture to the forefront after it became a fast breakout hit when it first debuted in 2007 A show about two scientist who enjoyed comic books, science fiction, role playing games, and so much more hadn't really gotten much love on prime time television. And certainly not as main characters depicted in such a positive light. The show pulled strong ratings throughout the entirety of its 12 season run which is no easy feat.

Four years after its final episode aired we look back at the shows pilot episode and try to better understand why you couldn't walk past a single kiosk at any mall without seeing a "Bazinga" shirt. Will the S1E1 boys green-light their pilot episode? Listen and find out.
