The Big Bang Theory
Universe's explosive beginning
The Big Bang Theory is a CBS sitcom (2007–2019) about socially awkward physicists and their friends, built on humor contrasting scientific brilliance with romantic and social cluelessness: Have you seen The Big Bang Theory?
The title references the cosmological theory of the universe's origin while playing on the word "bang." (Lowercase big bang theory is the scientific concept.)
