“The Big Bang Theory” is one of the biggest hits on television right now. And the group that gathered to celebrate the show during the recent San Diego Comic Con only confirms that.
The panel began with a sing-along of the show’s theme song, led by the Barenaked Ladies.
“Is it geeky that I just cried during that accordion solo?” joked Simon Helberg following the performance.
The explosive audience reception helped confirm the show’s geek bona fides.”It’s the most surreal playground ever,” Johnny Galecki told TVGuide.com. Added Jim Parsons: “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done before. It feels really good to interact in this way.”
“They see themselves in our characters,” said Helberg of the fans. “It’s flattering. They geek out when we come. A girl grabbed my hair yesterday when I was walking the floor. I knew that happened to Elvis and the Beatles, but you wouldn’t think a bunch of guys playing physicists would hit that level.”
The cast and crew also revealed that the new season will include a guest appearance by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
Also expected: a story involving the Kurzweil Singularity. Never heard of it? It’s OK, neither had we. “It’s the point in the future when man can fuse his intelligence with a machine,” said executive producer Bill Prady. Why is it important? Because a Sheldon robot (or Shelbot, as the producers called it) is coming.
