However, if you prefer to watch all of The Big Bang Theory shows and spin-offs in release order, check out the list below.
The Big Bang Theory is where it all began for CBS. After 12 seasons on the network, the cast of lovably awkward nerds captured hearts and minds around the world while exploring themes of friendship, scientific research, relationships, and everyday struggles while consistently bringing the laughs.
The sitcom follows the daily lives of Caltech physicist Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and his motley crew of friends. Even before the sitcom ended in 2019, it was clear that neither CBS nor the fans were ready to say goodbye to the Big Bang universe anytime soon, so the network went on to create several spinoffs.
The latest Big Bang spinoff, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, takes audiences back to the present day and focuses on the awkward comic book shop owner Stuart Bloom. Although plot details are still scant, we know that Lauren Lapkus (Denise), Brian Posehn (Bert Kibbler), and John Ross Bowie (Barry Kripke) will all reprise their Big Bang Theory roles on this new series.
Here's the synopsis: Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert, and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke. Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from The Big Bang Theory. As the title implies, things don't go well.
