The article is called “Geek Goddesses” and will be in the October issue of CBS Watch Magazine. It is an interview with Melissa Rauch (Bernedette) and Mayim Bialik (Amy). Here is a sample & the link to read the rest of the article.
As the theme song to TV’s No. 1 comedy goes, it all started with a big bang. And then in the third season, the writers decided to add a new breed of nerds to the group—this time, bringing in the ladies. The Big Bang Theory had already rocketed in the ratings when it moved to Thursday nights last fall. Around the same time, the sitcom introduced two brainy new characters, and in just a single season Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) and Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) have become regular characters and integral parts of the Big Bangformula.
“It was wonderful adding Melissa and Mayim,” says Jim Parsons, who plays persnickety Ph.D. Sheldon Cooper. “They’re strong actors who fit perfectly into the tone of the show. Their characters have opened up new roads for full stories to be formed around them.”
For one, Penny (Kaley Cuoco) now has “a circle of girls she can hang out with, so it makes it easier for us to have new storylines,” says Big Bang executive producer Steven Molaro. “Our little world has grown in a great way, and we’re thrilled to have so many new options.”
Okay so I have added some Emmy photos from twitter & other resources. I want to upload these now but am still gathering more so be sure to check back. These are from the pre-emmy party as well as the emmy red carpet & emmy show.
