And it All Started with a Big Bang!



Who doesn't like a catchy theme song to a sitcom, and even better if the show is good, right! I am a big fan of smart T.V. and the Big Bang Theory (Monday nights on CBS) is very smart and funny. It hits close to home, as one of the main characters, Sheldon, has some OCD tendencies that I share. I personally see nothing wrong with sitting in the same place all the time or eating the same thing all the time but back to my story.

Living in Hollywood has its perks, one being that many shows are filmed here so for my birthday Sarah and our friend Emily got me tickets to see the show filmed "before a live studio audience"! It was very cool. Emily has a friend who is also a huge fan of the show and she got us the tickets because she has been to tapings many times before and knows all the pages so we got treated very well, we were first in line, had front row seats and I got my DVD signed by the cast and the creator Chuck Lorre.

When you first get into the your seats on the stage they show you a previously filmed episode, we were seeing the third episode being taped so we got to see the season premiere which was so cool because it won't be on T.V. for a couple more weeks. Then they start filming, it is like a play, start to finish, scene by scene. There was this guy who was in charge of the audience and was slightly amusing, he played audience games and gave out candy and such. Then about an hour in everyone got a piece of pizza and a bottle of water.

The filming got done around 9 which I understand to be early, some go until 11 or 12 but everything had run smoothly.

So when you watch the third episode of the season listen for the audience laughter - it's me!!!!
