#8. Sheldon often wears shirts containing the number 73, which is also the year Jim was born in real life.

On the show, Cooper repeatedly states that 73 is his favorite number.

#7. Smarty pants!

Mayim Bialik, who plays the awkward fiancée to the more awkward Sheldon Cooper, is the only cast member to actually have a Ph.D. In 2008, she earned her Ph.D. in Neural Biology. She also is the reason that her character Amy Farrah Fowler has the same job.

#6. This is what their apartment really looks like.

I guess they didn’t want to write the injury into the show, because in her first appearance following the accident, she was filmed standing behind a counter.

#4. The original title of the show was called Lenny, Penny and Kenny.

I assume this means Sheldon was originally named Kenny, but I, for one, am happy they changed it. Because it’s ridiculous, and also because it reminds me of South Park.

#3. How good is your eye? 

Floors 2, 3, and 4 of the set are all Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment, just re-dressed for each scene. As they walk up the stairs, you might notice identical scuff marks on the moulding on each level.

#2. Have you noticed that Penny has been using the same purse since Season One, Episode Two?
