{"title":"The Big Bang Theory","dateDebut":"2007","dateEnd":"9999","description":"The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. It premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007. The show is centered on five characters: roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, two physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology; Penny, a blonde waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense.","leadImageMedUrl":"http:\/\/distro-1.retrojunk.com\/secure\/6f3ea68631c3bba87577e9c6e9519bcb7b98c36cda53ef99e44a7f44972a76a0afac34\/image\/48827_db3d079559_90101_ea0307931d.jpg"}
