We're running an Episode Tournament, to try find the fans' favourite episode of the show. It opens today, and you can now nominate 8 episodes to go through to the knock-out rounds. Each round will be open for 2 weeks.

The first knock-out round, the quarter finals, will open on July 19th, when 4 pairs of episodes will go head-to-head. We'll then whittle the episodes down to 2, and finally 1.

You can cast your nominations now, just visit our Episode Tournament page. You can let your friends know by sharing this link: http://tbbt.eu/t.

We'll be giving sneak peeks at how the voting is going on our Twitter account, be sure to follow us there.

Updates

We recently updated the software behind this site, bringing a few new features.

On our Polls pages, along with the world map showing how countries' votes break down, you can now also see how individual cities voted. For example, on our favourite cast member poll, Houston voted for Jim Parsons, Rochester voted for Kaley Cuoco, Oakland voted for Johnny Galecki, and Santa Clara voted for Sara Gilbert. We include lots of cities & towns from around the world, providing there are enough votes to do so.

We've also updated our Articles section, which was very rarely updated before. Now it is tied in with our Twitter account, where we've been posting links to TBBT-related articles for a few months now. These will also be linked to from our Articles section from now on.

We also have to point out updates to our Privacy Policy. We've added new details on your right to opt-out of behavioral advertising, along with instructions on how to do that.

We'll be launching a new feature tomorrow, so stay tuned for that, until then, have a very happy 4th of July!

'Big Bang' moving to 9:30

admin@the-big-bang-theory.com (The Big Bang Theory) — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:33:19 -0500

The Big Bang Theory will move from its 8:00 slot to follow television's most popular sitcom, Two and a Half Men, at 9:30, this fall. CBS, announcing its fall line-up at the Upfronts in New York, spelled out their new Monday night line-up.

How I Met Your Mother will kick off the night at 8, Accidentally on Purpose - a new sitcom with Jenna Elfman airs at 8:30, Two and a Half Men stays at 9, and The Big Bang Theory moves to 9:30.

The Big Bang Theory will now finish off CBS' Monday night comedy block, airing after Two and a Half Men - TV's most popular comedy. Two and a Half Men was co-created by Big Bang Theory co-creator Chuck Lorre, who now dominates the 9 o'clock hour.

The Big Bang Theory aired at 9:30 once this season, and got big ratings in the slot. CBS showed confidence in the show when it renewed it for two seasons, back in March. Two and a Half Men was renewed for 3 seasons. Rules of Engagement, which occupied the 9:30 slot this season, has been renewed, but isn't on CBS' fall schedule.
