I’ve been watching #BigBangTheory and I’m surprised that the overwhelming misogyny just keeps intensifying. I am just amazed at how the scriptwriters managed to slip so many crude & quite frankly questionable jokes & statements into seemingly harmless and ‘loveable’ characters

“The Big Bang Theory” debuted in 2007 and has since notched 52 Emmy nominations and 10 wins, including four individual honors for Jim Parsons in the lead actor in a comedy category and one for Mayim Bialik for best-supporting actress in a comedy series
The show, which began as a story about a group of sci-fi-loving intellectuals who form a pseudo-family, saw some dips in its ratings last year but largely remained a stalwart for CBS
The decision to bring the show to an end likely came despite efforts from the network to secure another season
Earlier this month, CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said the network did not believe Season 12 would be it’s last, saying they were “in preliminary discussions to renew the show.”
At its conclusion, the show will have aired 279 episodes. The final season debuts September 24.
