The scene from the first episode of The Big Bang Theory that creator Chuck Lorre believes is the best of the 250 episodes of the series that were broadcast.
Over the course of The Big Bang Theory’s 12 seasons, no less than 250 episodes have aired, offering some of the sitcom’s most memorable scenes.
Curiously for one of the creators of The Big Bang Theorythe best scene of the 250 episodes of the series can be found exactly in the first episode.
Although The Big Bang Theory focuses on a group of friends, most of them scientists, the truth is that the role of Sheldon Cooper played by Jim Parsons is the most prominent.
And when The Big Bang Theory’s 15th anniversary came around, Chuck Lorre was asked about his most memorable scenes from the show, and his answer surprised everyone.
Chuck Lorre highlighted that the scene in the first episode in which Sheldon Cooper gives a long speech to Penny about why she should not have her favorite spot on the couch is the best of all.
As you may recall, in the first episode, Penny is a new friend, and when she walks into Cooper’s house she sits in his corner on the couch.
At that time Sheldon Cooper rHe makes one of the most spectacular speeches in all of The Big Bang Theory and the curious thing about this dialogue is that he doesn’t make a single joke..
“Jim Parsons’ speech about why he sits in that particular spot on the couch in the pilot episode. I think we all watched it and understood that something extraordinary was happening. There were no real jokes in the speech, it was just a very accurate view of the world and he made it real. It was an amazing moment that I will never forget.”
Not only that, but Penny’s superb reaction to Sheldon Cooper’s speech has also gone down in history.
