If The Big Bang Theory spin-off on Max does officially get picked up by the streamer soon, the series now has its official title! Even though there's been lots of news and updates about the show, it technically has not gotten the official green light yet. But with each new detail, it seems to be heading in that direction. So if it does, what's the sitcom going to be called?

The Big Bang Theory spin-off's official name is Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, Deadline reports. Well, the name of the comedy is certainly on theme since the original series is about the origins of the universe, and the brilliant scientists who contributed to figuring out some of the answers in our vast world. While Stuart, who was a constant guest star on the show, was always sad and depressed. So the funny title definitely makes sense.

Stuart is constantly down on his luck,...

Exclusive: The Big Bang Theory spinoff on Max is untitled no more — and it’s good news and bad news for Kevin Sussman’s Stuart Bloom character.

The series, which remains in development, will be titled Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, Deadline has learned. That puts Stuart at the center of the offshoot but also hints that the beloved sidekick, who could never quite catch a break on Big Bang, might not have better luck on his own.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, from Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, extends the trend of every Big Bang Theory spinoff being named after its main character(s), following in the footsteps of Young Sheldon and its offshoot Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.

It is also is the first title of a Big Bang spinoff that is connected thematically to the moniker of the 2007-19 mothership series,...

At the start of "The Big Bang Theory," Sheldon Cooper, the series protagonist played by Jim Parsons, is obviously and flatly averse to physical intimacy or relationships, remaining single while his friends Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg), and Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) happily chase girls. In Jessica Radloff's 2022 book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series," showrunner and creator Chuck Lorre revealed that he always intended for Sheldon to be asexual, but throughout the series' 12 years and seasons, that plan ended up shifting.

"Sheldon's passion was learning; understanding the secrets of the universe," Lorre explained. "That made him unlike any character I certainly had ever seen. He wasn't trying to find himself in a relationship; he was in a relationship, and it was with science." From there, though, Lorre clarified something specific: "I had,...

In this episode, the focus shifts to Flute as his dad makes a surprise return to town. Flute, who has always looked up to his father, finds himself eager to impress and keep his idol close. However, things take a wild turn when sibling rivalry comes into play, especially when it involves his dad’s talking car.

The dynamics between Flute and his dad promise to bring both humor and heartfelt moments. Flute’s determination to maintain his father’s attention leads to some hilarious situations, showcasing his creativity and willingness to go to great lengths. Meanwhile, the detectives face their own challenge as they try to teach Stan about the birds and the bees, adding another layer of comedy to the episode.

Alright, stop us if you’ve heard this one: a nerdy comic book store owner, a quirky geologist, a snarky Caltech antagonist, and a sweet assistant manager walk into a spin-off. No, no…it’s not a bad joke—it’s the lineup for Chuck Lorre’s forthcoming The Big Bang Theory spinoff, and we’re already feeling the excitement build up like a chemistry experiment gone right.

Well, we’re sure the idea of the return of those characters— the ones that made us roll our eyes, laugh hysterically, and sometimes cringe— is enough to make any fan of the original show do a double-take.

This article contains spoilers for "Cobra Kai" Season 6 Part 3.

Have you ever wondered why karate seems to be the be-all and end-all for most "Cobra Kai" characters -- even ones who don't seem all that interested in spending their lives as a competitive athlete? The show's final block of episodes examines this question on many fronts, as some characters embrace the martial art as a proper calling and others set out to explore other avenues of life. However, no two characters' arcs depict the fallout of an obsessive karate life better than those of John Kreese (Martin Kove) and Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), two villains who have been part of the franchise since the original "The Karate Kid" trilogy.

Kreese and Silver are the franchise's greatest antagonists by a wide margin, but their different teaching methods and clashes over Cobra Kai's direction send them on a collision course not...

Celebs: they’re just like us! At least, that’s what Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) thinks when The Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik appears on the stand after a run-in with the law. “Abby is ecstatic that Mayim befriends her, but things take a turn when their relationship quickly goes off the rails,” previews Rauch, who teases that self-proclaimed superfan Abby gets “way more than she bargained for with the encounter.” The episode, which is also the show’s midseason premiere set to air on Tuesday, January 14, marks a long- awaited reunion for Rauch and Bialik, who costarred on Bang for several years — Bialik as neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler and Rauch as microbiologist (and former Cheesecake Factory waitress) Bernadette. Bialik’s appearance on Rauch’s legal sitcom is the first time that the two have acted onscreen together since the hit comedy signed off in 2019. (In ...

The Real Housewives of New York City is the only edition of the franchise that underwent a complete reboot. The series’ all-new cast, which replaced the original housewives, consisted of Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Jessel Taank, Brynn Whitfield, Erin Lichy, and Jenna Lyons.

The group has been featured in only two seasons since then, but fans haven’t been happy with the dynamic of the rebooted show. They have expressed their distaste and asked the network to bring back the OGs. A few days ago, a fan page posted a statement from Brynn Whitfield leaving the show.

After concluding his 12-season journey in the iconic character of Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons returned to his popular role in the Young Sheldon finale.

Max’s forthcoming medical drama The Pitt “is a completely different show from ER,” Warner Bros. Television said in a recent legal filing that contradicts claims made by the estate of ER creator Michael Crichton.

In August, Sherri Crichton, widow of Michael Crichton, filed a lawsuit against Noah Wyle, John Wells, R. Scott Gemmill and Warner Bros. Television for walking away from long-drawn-out negotiations to make a new version of ER — a concept that later morphed into Max medical drama The Pitt and does not credit Crichton as a creator.

Max’s Big Bang Theory spinoff is no longer in its “prenatal stage.” Franchise vets Kevin Sussman (Stuart), Lauren Lapkus (Denise) and Brian Posehn (Bert) have all signed deals to star in the potential offshoot, TVLine has confirmed.

According to our sister site Deadline, which first broke the news, the offshoot remains in the early stages of development; there’s been no official green light, and a script is still being written. That said, this news would confirm that the series will be a true spinoff — not a sequel series comprised of mostly new characters (à la Hulu’s How I Met Your Father...

The setting of Bonjour Tristesse is so enticing — a Mediterranean town in the South of France, where a large villa looks out toward the sea — that it instantly draws you into this adaptation of Françoise Sagan’s classic novel. The first film by writer-director Durga Chew-Bose, its story of adolescent longing, jealousy and sexual awakening, updated here to the present, is always glorious to look at — from the brightly colored floor tiles to the glittering water. But once you’re inside, its emotional trajectory is curiously flat, even though the cast includes two usually vibrant actors, Claes Bang and Chloë Sevigny.

The plot is essentially the same one that made Sagan a sensation when the book was published in 1954. The author was just 18, the age of the film’s central character, Cecile (Lily McInerny), whose point of view we largely share. She is on vacation with her father, Raymond (Bang), and his latest young girlfriend,...

Others in the cast include Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives) and newcomer Emily McEnroe (Ryan Murphy’s Monsters).

The film is described as an uplifting tale about three lovably quirky Bigfoot seekers who become desperately lost in the wilderness and are thrust into a life-and-death ordeal. They soon realize they’ve also been lost in life, and must not only save themselves, but commit to a life worth saving. Clinging to the wisdom of their Bigfoot Society’s eccentric, long-lost founder (Darby), and the guidance of its current matriarch (Strong), the trio wrestle with past traumas, personal demons, and lost...

The main cast of The Big Bang Theory was no stranger to keeping secrets from each other in the show, especially Johnny Galecki’s Leonard.

Sheldon's character flaws held back The Big Bang Theory's potential, with his self-centered attitude becoming more pronounced over time. Sheldon's refusal of Penny's acting lessons showcased his worst flaw, as his arrogance and tactlessness grew in later seasons. The show missed an opportunity to explore Sheldon's growth by avoiding a longer storyline of him learning acting from Penny.

While The Big Bang Theory often mined laughs from Sheldons character flaws, one disappointing outing proved that these same traits held back the hit sitcoms potential. The Big Bang Theorys entire cast of characters were beloved, and they collectively earned the series a massive fan base. However, as the show continued, it became clear that there was one breakout character. There is a reason that Young Sheldon was The Big Bang Theorys first spinoff, and it is that Jim Parsons Sheldon Cooper proved the shows signature character. Sheldon was stubborn,...

In a show like Desperate Housewives which thrives off of unhinged drama, it’s hard to narrow down one specific moment that changed the series. The show begins with the death of Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong), who also serves as the show’s narrator. Her death is shocking enough on its own considering it happens in the first few minutes of the pilot episode, but it helped get the show rolling as the entirety of the first season followed the mystery surrounding her death. Going forward the series dropped lots of major bombshells. From creepy neighbors, to loan sharks, and tornadoes. Every storyline played into making Desperate Housewives what it is, but there’s one episode in particular that sticks out as a turning point for the show, and it’s the episode “Bang” from Season 3.

Sheldon's presence in Young Sheldon's series finale highlights his overshadowing impact on a potential Big Bang Theory reunion. Young Sheldon's success and focus on Sheldon's family make them key stars, complicating any return to the original series. The spinoff's popularity ties The Big Bang Theory's future to its expanded universe, making Sheldon's siblings central to any reunion.

While a reunion from The Big Bang Theory cast sounds exciting, the news that Jim Parsons will appear in Young Sheldon’s series finale highlights an uncomfortable truth about this prospect. When The Big Bang Theory’s finale aired, the episode’s plot revealed something strange about the series. When the show first began, The Big Bang Theory mostly focused on the meek Leonard’s attempts to woo his glamorous new neighbor Penny. His socially inept roommate Sheldon provided comic relief, but Jim Parsons’s character was hardly the show’s protagonist.

John Carter and Wall-e director Andrew Stanton is working on a fascinating new sci-fi film. If In The Blink Of An Eye sticks to the script, we could be in for something special.

His career stretching back to the late 1980s, Andrew Stanton is best known for his animated work at Pixar, whether it’s as writer (1995’s ground-breaking Toy Story) or writer-director.

As a live-action filmmaker, he’s probably almost as well known for 2012’s John Carter, a hugely expensive sci-fi adventure based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ A Princess Of Mars. One of those films that seemed to have vultures circling it before it was even released, John Carter was ultimately a box office misfire.

In the wake of it, Stanton kept himself busy with animated projects at Disney and Pixar, but has also found time to write or direct the odd TV episode, including instalments of Stranger Things,...

Young Sheldon season 7 shakes up The Big Bang Theory canon by showcasing a different side to familiar characters.

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Young Sheldon season 7, episode 6.

Although Young Sheldon’s Georgie and Mandy spinoff has a lot of potential, season 7 of the series is making things harder for The Big Bang Theory’s next follow-up. Young Sheldon has always taken a loose approach to The Big Bang Theory’s canon. Meemaw is a stern presence in The Big Bang Theory, but her younger self is a carefree rebel in Young Sheldon. George Sr is a lovable everyman in Young Sheldon, but The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon and Mary call him a loutish,...

George's involvement in Sheldon's search for post-graduate school hints at his impact on his eventual decision to attend Caltech despite other options. Despite retconning George's cheating scandal, Young Sheldon will remain true to his established death before the show ends. George's upcoming death in Young Sheldon raises questions about timing and how it will be executed as the show nears its conclusion.

George will still be alive when Sheldon makes an important decision about his future, as confirmed by a Young Sheldon season 7 set image. Despite Young Sheldon retconning George's cheating scandal story from The Big Bang Theory, the prequel will stick to the established canon when it comes to the character's future fate. Previously revealed by the creatives behind the premier family comedy-drama, the Cooper patriarch will meet his end before the show wraps up, with the cast of Young Sheldon recently teasing filming George's funeral.

New details about Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik's Young Sheldon finale cameo might disappoint fans hoping for a Big Bang Theory reunion. Parsons teases his cameo and explains why the reunion with Amy is meaningful despite missing other characters. Seeing Leonard in the Young Sheldon finale, however, would be better, since it would bring the Big Bang Theory full circle.

Jim Parsons offers an update on his and Mayim Bialik's Young Sheldon finale cameo, and it sounds disappointing. Five years after The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019, the on-screen loveteam is set to reunite and reprise their beloved roles as Sheldon and Amy for the prequel. Set for a special one-hour send-off on May 16, Young Sheldon will wrap up Sheldon's stories in Medford, Texas, and transition him into his new life in Pasadena, California, as he begins his post-graduate studies at Caltech.

Aside from Iain Armitage, Parsons will also...

While George Sr.'s death is crucial, Young Sheldon must find a balance between honoring Big Bang Theory lore and maintaining the show's tone. Young Sheldon improved George's character, making his death a significant emotional event, challenging the show's family sitcom genre. The series can find closure by ending with an adult Sheldon's response to George's death, offering a meaningful conclusion that respects fans and the established timeline.

As Young Sheldon creeps toward its series finale, a few loose ends from The Big Bang Theory still need tying up. The biggest of these is the event that shaped the genius's entire adolescence and young life: the death of George Sr. We know from Big Bang that the Cooper family was thrown into chaos when they lost their patriarch. Sheldon went to school in California, leaving Georgie and Mary to try to hold the family together. We never saw George Sr.

Quick Links Who Will Return in the Young Sheldon Spinoff? What Is the Young Sheldon Spinoff About? How Will Young Sheldon Set Up the Georgie and Mandy Spinoff?

The following contains spoilers for Young Sheldon Season 7, Episode 4, "Ants on a Log and a Cheating Winter," which aired Thursday, March 7 on CBS.

Spinoffs are all the rage in the world of television. There have been spinoffs of television shows, movies, and video games, and now there are even spinoffs of spinoffs.Young Sheldon is a prequel series to the highly successful sitcom The Big Bang Theory, and is now receiving the spinoff treatment with a sequel series focusing on Sheldon Cooper's older brother Georgie and Mandy McAllister. Despite George and Mary's messy marriage being filled with emotional infidelity and near physical affairs, Georgie and Mandy's relationship remains the most controversial.

The engaged couple are in a good place in their lives right now,...

With viewership that peaked at nearly 14 million an episode, Young Sheldon is one of the most successful sitcoms in recent memory.

And the show is spun off from The Big Bang Theory, which, despite never gaining a foothold with critics, was one of the most-watched sitcoms of all time, serving as CBS' biggest hit for much its 12-season run.

So it comes as no surprise that yet another Sheldon-verse spinoff will be coming to CBS in the very near future.

What is somewhat surprising, however, is the fact that some of the franchise's biggest stars will be reprising their roles for the upcoming Young Sheldon series finale.

It was announced this week that both Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik will be returning to CBS as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler.

Parsons is an executive producer on Young Sheldon, and he's been narrating the series since its first episode.

With CSI: Vegas‘ reveal that it was drug lord Raphael Tarquenio and his nephew who had offed Kahn Schefter aka the man who murdered Jeannette Folsom, CSI Josh should be in the clear, right?

Oh, you’re so very wrong. Because the fact remains that Josh crossed many a line in the course or capturing Schefter and torturing him for information about his mom’s murder. And in this Sunday’s episode (airing at 10/9c on CBS), it will be up to the Las Vegas Review Board — and at-times surprising testimony from Max (Paula Newsome) — to determine the fate of the heretofore-stellar CSI’s career.

Sheldon's hoarding habit was hinted at years before it was revealed, showing his struggle to let go of the past. Sheldon's character growth on The Big Bang Theory was highlighted by his increased sensitivity and gratitude towards his friends. Sheldon's mother also struggled with hoarding, indicating how his upbringing may have influenced his own habits.

While The Big Bag Theory eventually revealed that Sheldon had a secret problem he tried to hide, this sad twist was foreshadowed more than two years earlier. Like most sitcom stars, The Big Bang Theory’s main characters changed and grew as the show progressed; Howard, for instance, was a sleazy creep in the show's early seasons, but he went on to become a surprisingly sweet, supportive partner. Similarly, Penny’s initially thin characterization was fleshed out as viewers got an idea of her personality outside of Leonard’s instant infatuation with her. Of course,...

There was, most understandably, a precise moment where it hit Lesley-Ann Brandt, “Oh s–t…. I’m on The Walking Dead.”

Fans of the prolific franchise will get to experience Brandt’s arrival in this walker-riddled universe when The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live debuts this Sunday, Feb. 25 at 9/8c on AMC and AMC+.

Young Sheldon will be going out with a bang that's reminiscent of The Big Bang Theory, one executive producer says.

Speaking about the series with TVLine, Young Sheldon executive producers and co-creators Chuck Lorre and Steve Molaro shared a big tease on how Young Sheldon will come to an end. They suggest that it's comparable to the series finale of its parent series, The Big Bang Theory, as it's equally as "exciting" but in its own unique way. The EPs went on to share how it's really the final three episodes altogether leading up to that grand finale that are really something special that fans will enjoy.
