For the pseudoscientific theory see: Big Bang theory
The Big Bang Theory is a liberal sitcom by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, that is aired on CBS.
The serial does not show a traditional family, but instead characters rooming together, with the characters Leonard and Penny, as well as Bernadette and Howard currently the only married characters (the latter two being the only ones to actually have something akin to a traditional religious wedding, as the former two had a Vegas wedding), and of the two weddings, only Howard and Bernadette's have resulted in a pregnancy, with Howard reacting in a horrified manner.[1]
In addition the series sometimes mocks religion (with series creator Chuck Lorre depicting Mary Cooper, the mother of Sheldon, as an "unenlightened" Bible-believing conservative), and generally gives the assumption made since the Enlightenment that Christianity and Science are divorced from each other, ignoring that it was in fact Christianity that was the reason Science in its current form was even discovered. Sheldon was assumed by the other characters to be asexual.
