The Big Bang Theory created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007, and concluded on May 16, 2019, having broadcast 279 episodes over 12 seasons.

The show originally centered on five characters living in Pasadena, California: Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), both physicists at Caltech, who share an apartment; Penny (Kaley Cuoco), a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's similarly geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers, aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar). Over time, supporting characters were promoted to starring roles, including neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), microbiologist Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch), and comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman).

The show was filmed in front of a live audience and produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. It ultimately reached the no. 1 spot in its eleventh season. It was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series from 2011 to 2014 and won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series four times for Parsons. In total, it won seven Emmy Awards from 46 nominations. Parsons also won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Comedy Series in 2011. In 2017, the series spawned a prequel series, Young Sheldon, based on Parsons' character Sheldon Cooper; it also airs on CBS.

That engine lasted nearly 6 seasons before it broke down from not fixing it. Incredible.

02:55 - 02:58. .. "pay me back when you can"
.. it shows how really a caring and loving brother Sheldon is

The last clip, as a mechanic i can tell you that penny not only ignored the check engine light, the gas gauge and low fuel light, but also the temperature gauge and temp light 😂

Kaley(Penny) and Jim(Sheldon) were the heart and soul of the show!!! Their interactions were AWESOME!!!

0:42 "Is there a check the check engine light light?"

One of my favorite lines ever!

[steztoyz]

"I don't drink."
"I do, I'll teach you."
🤣 🤣 🤣

[ashterisk]

"Don't be silly"
"I'm never silly"

Had me rolling 🤣

I love that Sheldon loaned Penny money
It’s so sweet

These two should've been in a spinoff series. They are so good together.

i checked the engine once and, yes, it was still there. after that, i didnt really know what else the light wanted me to do.

Penny is the chaos theory to Sheldon's orderly universe.

[augustyakumar]

It had to be Sheldon in the car while that sorry engine showed a final "unchecked" reaction.

[stereoroid]

She checked the engine, and it was still there, so what are they complaining about?

[abdullahmiah]

To be honest that car was expertly built if it lasted that long with engine problems.

[ricknantelle]

Penny's character possesses traits of both Sheldon and his mother, hence their on-set synergy. Nicely done, writers!

I love how they made it a running joke throughout the series

[stephaniefarley]

The way Sheldon drove Penny to the hospital is me driving in the snow since my accident 😂 I feel bad for the poor people behind me but thank them for their willingness to put up with me by driving around me😂

My Dad taught me to never ignore any lights that come on in my car. I was taught to have my oil changed regularly and was taught how to check the oil in my car. I had one car that needed oil all the time. I also checked my tires. Married a man who takes care of our cars. — I can’t believe there are parents that don’t teach their kids (especially their daughters) basic car maintenance.

Yeah I had a car like Penny's, and my check engine light has been on in my car for more than 5 years. I freaked out the first time I saw it, went to one of the most reputable mechanics in town to make sure my car wouldn't blow up and he said the sensor was broken from the gas cap or something. Still one of my most reliable cars I've had to this day.

This is why I named my first drivable car, Penny.🤣 My dad was Sheldon about it. In the end, the engine light wasn’t the problem but a drunk driver. I miss my little red car.
