The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers on the show, along with Steven Molaro. All three also serve as head writers. It premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007.
The show is centered on five characters: roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, two physicists employed at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech); Penny, a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon’s equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers, aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny’s social skills and common sense.

In the UK, “Chosen” had become the highest rated Buffy episode ever to air on Sky One, reaching 1.32 million viewers.
The Futon Critic named it the 50th best episode of 2003, saying “the final Buffy from Joss Whedon’s pen was a reason to celebrate in 2003: back was the snappy dialogue we’ve come to expect from the show over the years. In essence the show came to life just as its run drew to a close. Not a bad way to go out.
What fans said: “Chosen is literally the best episode in television history. There is just nothing that is not perfect about this episode.”
“I hate this. I hate being here. I hate that you have to be here. I hate that there’s evil and that I was chosen to fight it. I wish a whole lot of the time that I hadn’t been. I know a lot of you wish I hadn’t been, either.
This isn’t about wishes. This is about choices. […]
So here’s the part where you make a choice.
What if you could have that power, now? In every generation, one Slayer is born, because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule.
They were powerful men. This woman is more powerful than all of them combined.
So I say we change the rule. I say my powershould be our power. Tomorrow, Willow will use the essence of this scythe to change our destiny.
From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power.
Can stand up, will stand up. Slayers, every one of us.
Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?”
