Season chronology | |
The sixth season of the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory aired on CBS from September 27, 2012.[1][2] Series creator Bill Prady stated that the writers would start back writing season 6 in mid-June 2012 and filming of season 6 would begin on August 14, 2012.[3] On May 10, 2012, Prady stated that "not all the characters will be in California when [season 6] begins".[4] The series' season premieres have typically been set immediately following the events of the preceding season finales, and Howard is being launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station at the end of season 5.
On August 22, 2012, it was announced that Kevin Sussman, who plays Stuart, the comic book store owner, has been promoted to series regular.[5]
The series crossed the 20 million viewer mark for the first time with this season's "The Bakersfield Expedition",[6] which along with NCIS, made CBS the first network to have two scripted series reach that large an audience in the same week since 2007. This success has been attributed to the sitcom's exposure in syndication, its late 2010 move to the Thursday 8:00pm ET timeslot, and the influence of showrunner Steve Molaro (who took over from Bill Prady) on the characters' storylines.[7]
Cast
- Leonard Hofstadter, portrayed by Johnny Galecki, is an experimental physicist with an IQ of 173 who received his Ph.D when he was 24 years old. He shares an apartment with colleague and friend, Sheldon Cooper. He and Penny dated at one point during the series, but they broke up during season 3. They start dating again in season 5 though their relationship has been rocky since Leonard proposed to Penny in bed.
- Sheldon Cooper, portrayed by Jim Parsons, is a theoretical physicist. Originally from East Texas, he was a child prodigy, starting college at the age of 11, right after completing the fifth grade. He received the Stevenson award when 14 and received his Ph.D when he was 16. He has an IQ of 187 and exhibits a strict adherence to routine; a lack of understanding of irony, sarcasm, and humor; and a complete lack of humility or basic empathy. He is dating Amy Farrah Fowler.
- Penny, portrayed by Kaley Cuoco, is the attractive, blonde neighbor who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. She has aspirations to an acting career, but has not been particularly successful thus far, only boasting a few small roles as well as a part in a hemorrhoid commercial. To pay the bills, she works as a waitress at The Cheesecake Factory. She and Leonard dated during season 3 and broke up. In the finale episode of Season 4, she was thought to have slept with Raj after drinking, but Raj revealed to her they didn't. During season 5, Penny begins to date Leonard again but their relationship is not steady though she loves him and is committed to him. Her last name has never been revealed.
- Howard Wolowitz, portrayed by Simon Helberg, is an aerospace engineer. He is Jewish, and lives with his mother. Unlike Sheldon, Leonard, and Raj, Howard lacks a Ph.D, which is a point of mocking between the four friends. He defends this by pointing out that he has a master's degree in Engineering from MIT and the equipment he designs is actually built and launched into space (and so is he), unlike the purely abstract work of his friends. He provides outrageous pick-up lines and fancies himself a ladies man with suitably unimpressed reactions from Penny. Though he finds that he has limited success with other women at first, he begins dating Bernadette in season 3, but they break up. They get back together in the Season 4 episode "The Hot Troll Deviation", become engaged in the episode "The Herb Garden Germination" and are married in the last episode of season 5. At the beginning of season 6 he was on the ISS.
- Rajesh Koothrappali, portrayed by Kunal Nayyar, is an astrophysicist from New Delhi, India. Known commonly as "Raj", he works alongside Sheldon exploring the string theory implications of gamma rays from dark matter annihilations. He is very shy around women and suffers from selective mutism which means he is physically unable to talk to them unless he drinks alcohol. He is known to be part metrosexual with a strong feminine side, and he is a very emotional person. His sister, Priya, dates Leonard in season 4 and part of season 5, but they break up when Leonard finds out she slept with her old boyfriend in the episode, "The Good Guy Fluctuation". He finds a friend in Stuart Bloom after Howard goes into space and is married.
- Bernadette Rostenkowski Wolowitz, portrayed by Melissa Rauch, is a microbiologist. Bernadette was introduced to Howard by Penny while the two were working together at the Cheesecake Factory. At first she and Howard do not get along, as they appear to have nothing in common. When they find out that they both have overbearing mothers, however, they feel a connection. She was upgraded to main cast status in the episode "The Hot Troll Deviation", in which she and Howard revisit their previously unsuccessful relationship. She and Howard get engaged in the episode, "The Herb Garden Germination", and much comic fodder is created through similarities between Bernadette and Mrs. Wolowitz. She marries Howard just before he goes into space at the end of season 5.
- Amy Farrah Fowler, portrayed by Mayim Bialik, is a neurobiologist. Raj and Howard meet her on an online dating site using a fake account for Sheldon. She is very similar to Sheldon, except that she is more open to social interaction and thus more susceptible to conventional behaviour. She becomes close friends with Sheldon, prompting regular assertions from him that she is a girl and is his friend, but she is not his girlfriend. She finally became his girlfriend when Sheldon decides to change the course of their relationship after he becomes jealous when Amy goes out on a date with comic book store owner Stuart Bloom. By the end of season 5 they have progressed to holding hands though Amy is inching Sheldon toward a deeper relationship. Amy also forms a quirky friendship with Penny, whom Amy frequently refers to as her "bestie" and becomes Bernadette's Maid of Honor at her and Howard's wedding.
- Stuart Bloom, portrayed by Kevin Sussman, is an owner of a comic book store to which the gang frequently goes. He is also a nerd, but he has a talent for drawing, is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and possesses a few more social skills than they do. Stuart starts hanging out with the gang as a replacement for Howard, as long as he acts like Howard as stipulated by Sheldon. He and Raj have become good friends, with a broke Stuart staying at Raj's place and having most of his expenses covered by him, in a relationship that strongly mirrors the Raj-Howard pairing before Howard met Bernadette — including the fact that Raj and Stuart appear to others be acting like a same-sex couple while both men are straight and unaware of how they're coming across.
