The Big Bang Theory

The Long Distance Dissonance

Whoa. I don't think any of us saw that coming, at least not until those last few moments. On The Big Bang Theory Season 10 Episode 24, another woman makes a move on Sheldon while Amy is away, and when she does, Sheldon's reaction is to go see his girlfriend immediately – and to propose.

CBS Plans to Replace 'Big Bang Theory' With 'Young Sheldon'

Much has changed at CBS Corp. in recent months, but one thing will not: its focus on producing video content. Speaking at an investor conference Tuesday, CBS Corp. Chief Creative Officer David Nevins – who was named to the role in October after running Showtime for several years – articulated a strategy that is much like that the company followed before its former CEO, Leslie Moonves, was ousted in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment. Moonves has denied many of the claims. Nevins has been charged with overseeing content deve... more
