Related: About this forumStudio immortalizes 'Big Bang Theory' as series nears finale
https://www.apnews.com/4e3a1b2cff744634a154c49fc05de8d7Champagne briefly replaced scripts Thursday for a ceremony renaming the nondescript Stage 25 on the sprawling Warner Bros. production lot after the sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Still televisions most popular comedy, the show will exit the airwaves and the studio it has called home for 12 years this spring.
Actors Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Mayim Bialik and the rest of the comic ensemble ran through lines for an episode that will air in early March before studio brass joined them to unveil a plaque. Were going to be miserable when this is over, series creator Chuck Lorre told the cast and assembled crew. Im so sad. Lorre said it wasnt his call to end the series, but now that its been made the time feels right.
The cast rehearsed an episode that hints at some upcoming transitions with barely a flub. Its not an unfamiliar ritual: they will have made 279 episodes by the time it all ends in May. The episode they rehearsed will be filmed before a live audience later this week.
Only four other studios at Warner Bros. have a similar plaque for the series that filmed there, with others named for Two and a Half Men, ″ER, ″Friends and Ellen.
Given that he was also behind Two and a Half Men, its the second such honor that Lorre is responsible for. One of the most successful comedy producers of all time, Lorre also produces Mom and Young Sheldon for CBS.

I was shy, awkward, nerdy, and impossible around girls.
Now I have a successful career and a smoking-hot wife!

speaking as the smoking hot wife
Except I'm not short.
I am pretty bad at sports, though.
I was fortunate enough to inherit my father's broad shoulders and chest; but I didn't inherit his talent for sports. I'm the least-athletically gifted person in the world.

I'm digging Annie Potts' and Wallace Shawn's acting
