Mayim Bialik and Jim Parsons disagree about the possibility of a return to The Big Bang Theory

Jim Parsons, who originated the role of (old) Sheldon Cooper on Chuck Lorre’s hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory, may be hesitant about returning to the role… but his on-screen wife Mayim Bialik, who played Fowler’s Amy Farrah The series has a completely different take on the idea.

Bialik, who recently guest-starred in NBC’s reboot of “Night Court” (the reboot that happened to feature Bialik’s former co-star and on-screen best friend Melissa Rauch, who portrayed Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz on “The Big Bang Theory”) said Yahoo That she had a great time reuniting with Rauch and that she would like to bring back “The Big Bang Theory” in one form or another. “With all due respect to Jim, I think there’s a lot of interest and love for these characters and I would be very happy to revisit them in any way,” Bialik told the outlet, making Parsons less optimistic. Words in mind. “I think we all really had a lot of respect for the brand as it was and for what we were able to create. I was thrilled to continue working with Jim and do some things on Young Sheldon.” But for me, I understand how important this is and I would love to have the opportunity to visit Amy again if I get the chance.”

so what an act Parsons previously said about any kind of “Big Bang Theory” revival and the idea of ​​playing Sheldon Cooper again? Also, what have the two stars been up to since the sitcom ended in 2019 — and how significant is the “Young Sheldon” appearance?

The Big Bang Theory has largely come to an end after 12 years and seasons Jim Parsons, who was going through some major personal and professional changesdecided to leave the show behind, effectively ending the entire project. Although he appeared in the series finale of “Young Sheldon” – in which Ian Armitage played young Sheldon Cooper – as well as “Old Sheldon”, Parsons, who found the whole experience very strangeHe has expressed very clearly that he believes there is no reason to revive the “Big Bang Theory.”

In October of 2024, Parsons sat down with Chris Wallace on the journalist’s podcast “Who’s talking to Chris Wallace?” Which is also streaming in filmed format on Max. When Wallace asked if Parsons would consider participating in a reboot or revival of “The Big Bang Theory,” Parsons’ response was unequivocal. “As we sit here now, no, but I also (…) never say never to anything, because life changes so much,” the actor replied, going on to say that he felt as if the show was very special. To return.

“You know, one of the things that was so special about it is what it is,” Parsons continued. He added: “They call it lightning in a bottle for a reason and you can be sure it won’t be. So why would we do that? I don’t know, that’s how I feel about this now but as I say, God willing, life is very long.” However, Parsons cherishes his time on the show. “The headline for me is always that it was the craziest, luckiest blessing I could ever ask for,” the actor explained.

Since The Big Bang Theory, Parsons has pursued roles in projects such as Ryan Murphy’s Netflix miniseries “Hollywood,” films such as the romantic drama Spoiler Alert, and stage work in productions of Mother Play and Our Town. He’s definitely busy. However, maybe one day he’ll change his mind about participating in some sort of “Big Bang Theory” revival.

Mayim Bialik — Who once admitted she had trouble watching The Big Bang Theory after playing Amy Farrah Fowler -She has definitely stayed busy since her time on the sitcom. After “The Big Bang Theory” ended, Bialik led her own show, “Call Me Kat,” which — as it happened — was produced by Jim Parsons himself (along with Bialik); The series aired on Fox from 2021 to 2023 and spanned three seasons. During the same time frame, Bialik also served as one of the hosts of “Jeopardy!” alongside former champion Ken Jennings following the death of host Alex Trebek in 2020. However, Bialik eventually stepped down after alternating with Jennings for nearly two years. (The timing was a bit odd, as Bialik chose not to cross the WGA and SAG-AFTRA picket line during the 2023 strikes — leaving Jennings to host all the episodes alone — and simply didn’t return after the strikes ended.) Also, I probably don’t need to tell you this part, but Bialik He famously played the role of Blossom in “Blossom” in the early 1990s.

In any case, it seems that if creator Chuck Lorre and the rest of the Big Bang Theory cast want to revive the film, Bialik is game for it — and hopefully someone can convince Parsons to come on board, too. Right now, “The Big Bang Theory” is streaming in its entirety on Max.
