The Big Bang Theory is one of the most famous and iconic modern-day sitcoms.
Sprawling Twelve Seasons, the series followed a group of brainiac friends and their exploits in love, life, and the search for knowledge.
The show garnered ten Emmy awards, four of which went to lead actor Jim Parsons, yet the show never nabbed the Best Comedy award.
The series has also spawned a spinoff series, Young Sheldon. Another spinoff series is in the works at Max, but the plot is unknown at this time.
While the series creator, Chuck Lorre, has continuous success with sitcoms on CBS, what has the main cast done? Find out below!

Barry Kripke, a rival of Sheldon's and an overall annoying character, was played brilliantly by John Ross Bowie.
During his extended guest stint on The Big Bang Theory, he starred in the sitcom Speechless, starring Minni Driver.

In one of the funniest episodes we've seen in a while, The Big Bang Theory Season 10 Episode 12, "The Holiday Summation," also delves into some pretty serious issues.
The gang gets together for the first time since the holidays, and they all have stories of an imperfect holiday season.

Sheldon and Amy
Sheldon and Amy's trip to Texas is eventful to say the least. With it we get the return of Sheldon's mother, which is always a treat.
What Mary reveals in her reaction to the news that Amy and Sheldon are living together is as funny as it is important. She always worried Sheldon would end up alone.
She also alludes, quite obviously, to Sheldon's autistic characteristics when she recalls Sheldon's ability to memorize trains when he was three.
For a moment, I thought Mary might actually reveal a diagnosis.

While one of the strongest ensembles on television today, The Big Bang Theory has come to revolve around the socially awkward Sheldon (Jim Parsons), so it makes perfect sense that the eighth season began and ended with the brilliant scientist. Sandwiched in-between, the series slowly advanced the cast of characters through their lives and thankfully Chuck Lorre has not prevented them from growing.
Warner Bros Home Entertainment releases The Big Bang Theory The Complete Eighth Season this week and the combo pack contains all 245 episodes on Blu-ray and Digital HD. We open with Sheldon, 45 days after leaving on a train, only to call Leonard (Johnny Galecki) to come rescue him from Kingman, Arizona. Accompany him is Amy (Mayim Bialik), who has been hurt by Sheldon’s actions, which remains a recurring theme through the season, setting up the finale, where she puts their relationship on hold just as he was about to propose.

"As in any marriage when there's a tragedy, it can either take a relationship apart or bring them close together. I think we really saw how solid their marriage was and how they navigated this death," reveals actress Melissa Rauch about the death of her character's mother-in-law on the most recent season of "The Big Bang Theory." In her recent interview with Gold Derby (watch below), Rauch discusses her role as Bernadette Rostenkowski and working on those emotional episodes with Simon Helberg, who plays her on-screen husband Howard Wolowitz. The actress playing Mrs. Wolowitz, Carol Ann Susi, died of cancer last fall and the writers decided to kill off her character as well. -Break- Watch dozens of video chats with top contenders for the 2015 Emmys Fans of the long-running CBS comedy have enjoyed the impersonation of Mrs. Wolowitz by Rauch since her early days on the show.

I recently lost my mother after taking care of her for many years. My father died almost a decade ago. But this is not a sob story, it’s a journey of discovery I found mirrored on television. The Big Bang Theory has been a favorite of mine since it premiered (as a chemist, I appreciate it having actual science jokes), and over the past seven seasons, I have grown with the characters. The series improved and matured when it added female scientists Bernadette Rostenkowski and Amy Farrah Fowler to the main cast, demonstrating that geeks and other intelligent people are not all extras from Revenge of the Nerds. Particularly helped by the addition of these characters was Howard Wolowitz. Played by Simon Helberg, Howard has developed the most out of all the characters over the series’ run, going from a wannabe pick-up artist mamma’s boy to a caring and supportive husband to Bernadette.

In November, the show used the spot to honor Carol Ann Susi, who played the off-screen voice of Howard Wolowitz’s (Simon Helberg) mother. Susi died following a battle with breast cancer.

The Big Bang Theory said goodbye to a beloved character last night, Howard's (Simon Helberg) mom Mrs. Wolowitz's, but her death will have some long-lasting impressions on the hit CBS comedy and the characters at its heart. Carol Ann Susi, the voice of Mrs. Wolowitz's who was never seen on screen, passed away in November 2014 and her character also passed away suddenly in the Thursday, Feb. 19 episode of The Big Bang Theory. The show decided to kill the character off rather than send her away, which would have felt "false and fake," according to Steve Molaro. But don't expect to see a funeral.

The Big Bang Theory just said goodbye to a beloved member of its family. (Warning, spoilers ahead!) Following the passing of star Carol Ann Susi, who played Howard Wolowitz's (Simon Helberg) mother, Mrs. Wolowitz, in November 2014, the CBS hit sitcom delivered a heartbreaking episode on Thursday: Mrs. Wolowitz died. Toward the end of the episode, Wolowitz received a phone call, only to return a little later to inform his friends that his mother passed away. "My mom died. That was my aunt, Ma took a nap. She never woke up," he said, before turning to his wife Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) for comfort. And while he usually always says the wrong thing at the wrong time, Sheldon (JIm...

Though she was never seen on camera, The Big Bang Theory‘s Mrs. Wolowitz has arguably played as big a role on the show as Leonard, Sheldon and Penny.
Often the butt of obesity jokes — usually made, in poor taste, by son Howard — and prone to getting a little too overprotective of her only child, Mrs. Wolowitz has been recognizable to fans of the CBS comedy through only her voice, as she shouted to Howard from other rooms of her house.

A version of this story first appeared in the Nov. 28 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Carol Ann Susi was born in Brooklyn. Born isn't a strong enough word. Might be better to say that Carol Ann Susi was made out of Brooklyn — tough, street smart, hysterically funny. Her accent seemed to grow stronger every year, as if New York's most pugnacious borough could use her as a supernatural portal to emerge undiluted in Los Angeles. Carol Ann would have liked that metaphor — she was a die-hard Doctor Who fan. She was a county fair cooking

Carol Ann Susi's agent, Pam Ellis-Evenas, says the actress died Tuesday in Los Angeles after a brief battle with cancer. She was 62.

The Big Bang Theory’s winning formula is the dynamics between the five main characters, much like an incredibly geeky version of Friends. An experimental physicist named Leonard befriends his pedantic yet somehow lovable know-it-all roommate Sheldon and strikes up a relationship with Penny, their pretty (dim) next door neighbor, who dreams of becoming an actress and winds up working at the cheesecake factory. Their colleagues, shy metro-sexual Raj and massively creepy Howard, complete the gang.
Currently running through its seventh season, The Big Bang Theory’s top billing has grown from five to seven actors, and recurring guest stars have been given more air time. It seems the original five aren’t exclusively holding the show up anymore. Some of the supporting characters are stealing the show – some figuratively, and some literally.

The gang joins Howard at the hospital when his mother has an apparent heart attack after hearing Howard and Bernadette are engaged.
Howard’s mother (Carol Ann Susi) has never been shown onscreen. She usually yells at Howard from offstage. Though she has said she wants him to move out on his own, she does dote on him as if he were a child. For his part, Howard wants to move out, but he hasn’t yet. Given this dynamic, fans had to wonder whether Howard’s mother would approve of Bernadette. This episode did a good job of keeping us, and Bernadette herself, in suspense.
Meanwhile, the hospital proved an excellent setting to keep all the characters involved. I thought Sheldon would enjoy going to the hospital for the chance to have various check-ups. Instead, the writers played up his fear of infection, and he almost didn’t come along.
