Even though it’s been three years since The Big Bang Theory New information about the show is still being released. New oral history book on CBS sitcom “The Simpsons” released The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive and Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series Jessica Radloff reveals secrets that fans didn’t know about. Kaley Cuoco wished she could change Penny’s ending when discussing the series finale.
Fans will be able to recall the series finale The Big Bang Theory included a big announcement from Leonard and Penny: they’re expecting. The live audience erupted in cheers, as well as many others watching from home. However, Cuoco confesses her true feelings about the pregnancy in the new book, and it’s pretty understandable (via TVLine):
I really wished they didn’t [make Penny pregnant]Because I loved that message [of Penny not wanting kids]Thank you so much. It was cute how the writers did it at the end with Penny’s surprise pregnancy, and all in all, I’m glad, but I was actually voting for her not to [get pregnant].
Since Penny seemed to be very adamant about not wanting to have kids at the beginning of Season 12, it makes sense that Kaley Cuoco feels like that, and it’s very likely she isn’t the only one. It is a pleasant moment in the series. BBT series finale between Penny and Leonard and knowing that they’re going to be parents, it does make me wonder how different the finale would have been if Penny wasn’t pregnant.
Executive producer Steve Holland shares Cuoco’s sentiments, noting that while it was a great moment, there was a missing step that should have happened before the reveal, but overall, he likes the way the series ended with Leonard and Penny:
We discussed whether there were other options, such as what if she experienced a false pregnancy scare and was disappointed. We talked about ways to get her to that moment that didn’t feel quite so abrupt. Penny should have taken one more step before the final. The way the last episodes broke out, we just didn’t get there. It was, however, a great landing spot for me. [Penny and Leonard]. We were honored to be a part of that special relationship. ‘Our babies will be smart and beautiful’Line from the pilot to tie it together.
These stories would have been very interesting and could have given Penny a different ending to her surprise pregnancy. It’s clear that the show’s pregnancy brought it full circle. However, fans will always remember Leonard’s comment in the pilot about future babies. Twelve seasons later, he had no idea what would happen. It’s more fun to look back.
However, there were numerous events early in the series that could have changed the course of the show. Penny could have been played entirely by another actress. There were four other actresses up for the role of Sheldon and Leonard’s neighbor, including Marisa Tomei, Tara Reid, Elizabeth Berkley, and Canadian actress Amanda Walsh. This character was to be very different as it was originally for. “Katie,”Penny. It is definitely always interesting to hear what could have been, whether it’d be actors or storylines, and the success of the sitcom makes me think that the direction that they went in was the best choice.
The Big Bang Theory is long over, but it’s clear that people will keep talking about it for years to come. They may not be in a position to alter storylines, but maybe there will be a reboot within a decade that will continue the beloved story. There’s still something.
