„It’s Not My Favorite Episode”. The Big Bang Theory Actress Hated the Episode, Which the Creator Also Later Claimed Was a Mistake
There are some plots in movies and TV series that actors and creators may regret introducing. And one was mentioned by the star of The Big Bang Theory, that didn’t understand why it was shown on screen at all.
The Big Bang Theory is a hit sitcom, however, it too has had its worse moments, which not only fans point out. Also the stars of the TV series and even its creators recognize that not all the ideas were good, but they were implemented and are now part of this cult production.
Kaley Cuoco had a problem with one storyline. She called the filming of related to this scenes her “worst experience”. In The Big Bang Theory, Cuoco played Penny, an initially aspiring actress who appeared in the Serial Apeist films. And it was with scenes that showed the filming of Serial Apeist that the artist had a problem, she told TV Line.
The worst experience was filming Serial Apeist and getting covered in f–king hair from head to toe. I was like, “Really, you guys? This is what’s happening?” And Chuck just thought it was so funny. He loved it. I never understood why.
However, it turns out that Chuck Lorre, the TV series' creator, is not a fan of these scenes either, but he found their introduction necessary to tell a story important to Penny.
We wanted Penny to have some small success in her from of being a successful actor, but it’s not my favorite episode. Doing a show within a show – writing the ‘bad’ scenes that she’s in in an otherwise good show – was not our finest moment. The goal was legitimate, which was to put her in a bad move and see her struggling to make something work.
In the end, Penny's struggle to pursue an acting career did not result in success in the industry, and the character abandoned that path, choosing to become a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company. But her adventures on the set of Serial Apeist remain a part of her story, as well as that of The Big Bang Theory TV show itself.
