The Big Bang Theory will not be canceled so quickly. It is from award winning sitcom producer, Chuck Lorre, who has a long line of hits, and is directed by Emmy award winning Director James Burrows. It has a terrific pedigree, and should do very well.

Wow. A reply. I was totally not expecting that.

But on to your comment: I don't know if BBT will be cancelled quickly but I have seen many a comedy with terrific pedigree & should have done well go the way of the dodo. But, we'll just have to wait & see.

Thanks for replying!
