List of The Big Bang Theory Episodes
From Iwe
The Big Bang Theory is an American comedy television series created and executively produced by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. Like the name of the series itself (with the exception of the first episode "Pilot"), episode titles of The Big Bang Theory always start with "The" and resemble the name of a scientific principle, theory or experiment, whimsically referencing a plot point or quirk that is stated in that episode.
In March 2014, the show was renewed for three more years through a tenth season. As of May 12, 2016, 207 episodes of The Big Bang Theory have aired, concluding the ninth season. There was also an unaired pilot which CBS did not broadcast.
