Production History

The pilot episode, simply titled "Pilot", directed by James Burrows, led to a 13-episode order on May 14, 2007. Prior to the premiere of the show on CBS, the pilot episode was distributed on iTunes free of charge.

On October 19, 2007 the show was picked up for a full 22-episode season, the first new comedy of the 2007-2008 season to be given a full season.

Production on the show was halted on November 6, 2007 by the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike.

On February 14, 2008, CBS officially picked up The Big Bang Theory for a second season along with eleven other shows for the 2008-2009 television season

The show returned on March 17, 2008 with an earlier time slot and nine new episodes.

The second season premiered on September 22, 2008.

David Saltzberg, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles, checks scripts and provides dialogue, math equations and diagrams used as props. He says he's more consultant than contributor. Executive producer/co-creator Bill Prady said, "In fact, we're working on giving Sheldon an actual problem that he's going to be working on throughout the (first) season so there's actual progress to the boards ... We worked hard to get all the science right."

In a December 2008 Parade magazine article, creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady acknowledged that the two main characters are named after legendary producer Sheldon Leonard.
