The end of The Big Bang Theory felt huge because it wasn’t just a finale — it was the end of a show people had grown up with for 12 years. By the time they filmed the last episode, the cast already knew this was the final table read, final jokes, final scenes on those sets they’d lived in for over a decade… and apparently the room was emotional almost immediately.
During the final episode read-through, a lot of the cast were crying before they could even finish lines. Kaley Cuoco has said she was “sobbing” through parts of it, and photos from backstage showed people hugging constantly between takes. Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and the others all talked about how strange it felt seeing the apartments and cafeteria sets one last time knowing they’d never return there together again.
The final scene especially hit hard because it was quiet and simple — everyone eating together in the apartment like always while Sheldon’s Nobel speech played over it. No giant dramatic ending, just their normal life continuing. That’s why so many fans cried too; it felt like saying goodbye to friends rather than just characters.
And the audience during the taping was emotional too — long standing ovations, people tearing up during Sheldon’s speech, and huge applause when the elevator was finally shown working after years of jokes.
As someone who’s been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, I’ll just say….
There’s a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was 💯the way! Bravo!
This guy's chickens kept getting targeted by hawks, so he started feeding local crows. Now he has an army of crows that patrols his property and chases the hawks away.
