From @BigBang_CBS:

>> Chuck Lorre: “The show is about extraordinary people, not nerds”
>> Jim Parsons: “I just wanted the chance to play Sheldon in the pilot”
>> Moderator said “Penny digs nerds” & Kaley Cuoco responds: “Kaley digs nerds too! We’re just riding this wave as long as you let us.”

>> Melissa does an impression and says in the show mom voice: “What is this #comiccon you’re at? Is it some kind of sex convention?!”
>> Mayim Bialik: “I fell in love with biology when I was on blossom. I love neuroscience, I love academia.”
>> Mayim: “I had never watched the show but auditioned. They needed a female Jim Parsons & I was like who’s Jim Parsons?”
>> Bill Prady: “there will be a resolution & we think whichever way you came down on something that’s the way it works out.”
>> Cast fav moments — Kaley: “where a lovely man had to grab my ass when dancing. He was an older man and he was so nervous!”
>> Cast fav moments — Kunal: “when we had to learn the bollywood dance and learn the song. I got yelled at by the teacher.”
>> Fav moments — Simon: “I enjoyed wrestling w/ kunal on & off camera. I like putting the unitard on – very convenient piece of clothing”
>>  Bill Prady: “Sheldon seems singularly devoted to science. It’s biological if he’s actually vulcan”
>> Fan said he was in Iraq and TBBT got him through it. Sheldon: “Thank you for serving our country, Bazinga!”
>> Jim: “We are so lucky on this show. The shows stay interesting. The writers keep giving us things that are so organic and honest.”
>> Mayim: “there’s a little bit of suspended adolescence with my character and its fun to play. And yes, I’m a very sexual actress.”
>> On if the cast do nerdy pranks — Kaley: “we play a lot of ping pong.” Jim says: “that was lame Kaley.”
>> Johnny: “my first screen kiss was with Mayim”
>> Fan Q: Was it embarrassing singing Soft Kitty? Kaley: “it was fun!” Jim: “It was awkward for me, I had to bare flesh!”
>> Kunal was asked a question & said he didn’t understand, so Simon repeated the question w/ an indian accent. The fans cracked up!
>> Last fan question: What do u have in common w/ ur characters? Kaley: “I live next door to people.” Melissa: “we’re both really short”
>> What do u have in common w/ ur characters? Simon: “I would say there’s very little. I do have an affinity for clothes.”

From @TVGuide:

>> Mayim Bialik jokes that kissing Kaley Cuoco was her favorite scene, but it was really when Amy got drunk
>> Chuck Lorre: “Mayim is a very sexual actress. She’s a very dirty, dirty girl. Full-frontal nudity this year.” He’s kidding…
>> Bill Prady says Sheldon’s kiss with Wolowitz’s mom doesn’t count. Amy is his real first kiss.
>> “Cheers brought people to alcoholism. TBBT brought people to science,” says Chuck Lorre

From @Jimmy722:

>> Jim Parsons didn’t try to make Sheldon sympathetic, but he’s always felt human and empathetic to him as an actor “he’s a lovely fella”
>> Johnny was doing a play in new york when Chuck Lorre called him for the job, he knew they had magic at the first table read.
>> Applause for Jim and Johnny’s Emmy nominations. “The competition is fierce?” Johnny: “Always. Since Day one.”
>> Mayim’s favorite part of the season was having a drunk kiss with Sheldon.
>> Did we just get boo’d at Comic-Con?” – creators of TBBT after Kaley asks what T.I.M.E. stands for. Audiences was not happy.
>> Mayim (the neuroscientist) helps Jim understand some of what Sheldon says.

>> Man comes dressed as Howard : “He’s dressed like me and he’s asking Amy questions!” Simon jokes.
>> Mayim is noting she is breaking all of her “What Not To Wear” tips she got from the episode with her character’s wardrobe.
>> “You’re the only person who can help with dialogue!” Jim says to Mayim, after she says he says she’s the nerdiest person on the cast.

Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner makes the 128-mile journey from Los Angeles to San Diego in two hours and 45 minutes. Pulled by a mighty Electro-Motive diesel engine, the train heads south on tracks laid in 1888 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Fifty-one weeks a year, the train takes vacationers south to Sea World or north to Universal Studios. For one weekend in July, though, boarding the Pacific Surfliner is as close as you can come to climbing into the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Platform 9¾…

Canadian rockers the Barenaked Ladies have filmed a music video for “The History of Everything,” their theme song for CBS’ hit sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”

Posted after the break, the video features the band sneaking onto the set of the show and performing an expanded version of the bouncy theme for the cast and crew. They even sit in Sheldon’s spot on the couch!

In an interview last fall, BNL frontman Ed Robertson shared with me the story of how show creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady approached him to pen the theme:

“They said, ‘Well, you’re the only one we’ve asked. We really want you to do this.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s great because I can give you what you’re looking for if you can tell me what you want,’” he said. “So it was a great relationship right from the start.”

The extended version of “The History of Everything” has now become a popular part of BNL’s live shows.

“We played it one night just kind of on a lark, and people went nuts. It’s one of the hits in the set now,” he said with a laugh.

Here are the photos from cast & crew twitter accounts.
