'The Big Bang Theory' season finale react: The five best moments!
Image Credit: Cliff Lipson/CBS
I honestly didn’t think a lot of what we anticipated happening in tonight’s season finale of The Big Bang Theory (Howard’s wedding, a rocket launch into freaking space) would actually happen. Something would be foiled. A different couple would get married. Someone would accidentally get launched into space with Howard.
But nope; none of that happened. (Thank God.) Instead, both major events went just as planned (with comedic hitches, of course) — and in a way, that was most shocking of everything they could have done.
That said, let’s review the top 5 moments as we watched our lovable geek Howard get hitched and get launched into space from the land of Tetris and mail-order brides: READ FULL STORY »

'Big Bang Theory' star Jim Parsons talks hitting the stage for 'Harvey'
As fans prepare to watch tonight’s finale of The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons is already knee deep in his next role — Elwood P. Dowd in Roundabout Theatre Company’s upcoming Harvey.
Ahead of tonight’s season ender (read our preview here), Parsons opened up about his hiatus project, which gives him a chance to play a character so unlike the socially challenged Sheldon.
“What’s so nice is the crucial divide between the two characters,” he says. “I hadn’t thought about this really deeply until you asked me, and now that I’m saying it, that is probably what I’m enjoying as much as anything, getting into the skin of this guy…who so desperately wants to hear what you have to say and make a conversation out of it — as opposed to the other nine months of the year when I play someone who does everything to stop that from happening.”

There are a few mysteries to solve this week, starting with a new one from Sherlock Holmes on the second season of Sherlock on PBS, then moving through the start of season finales to discover the winner of The Voice. Later in the week, find some great pop culture graduation gifts (’tis the season…) like the new Stephen Colbert book, and then don’t forget to do something nice for your mom next Sunday. Have a great week!
SUNDAY
Sherlock returns to Masterpiece Mystery, PBS, 9 p.m.
Making plans for Sunday nights the next few weeks is elementary, my dear PopWatchers. Benedict Cumberbatch is back as everyone’s favorite detective and Martin Freeman joins him as Watson for the second season of the beloved Steven-Moffat-and-Mark-Gatiss series. This week: Could Sherlock be in love? Check out Ken Tucker’s preview below. READ FULL STORY »

Style Hunter: Sheldon's Green Lantern T-shirt on 'The Big Bang Theory' -- EXCLUSIVE
Image Credit: Sonja Flemming/CBS
Well, talk about progress.
On last night’s episode of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon acknowledged he might have romantic feelings for Amy (about time!). While I was endlessly amused watching him struggle with that realization during his 3-D chess game with Leonard, I was simultaneously distracted by his geektastic Green Lantern T-shirt.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Sheldon and style don’t go hand-in-hand — this is the same guy who wore long underwear at the tux shop to ward off germs. But when it comes to T-shirts, he’s always been a trendsetter.
The superhero-inspired tee, designed by DC Entertainment for the show, is available for purchase online. The best part? You can get it exclusively at Stuart’s not-so-fictional shop, The Comic Center. Yes, that’s right. Not only can you dress like Sheldon (and for only $24.95!), but you can help Stuart’s business while you’re at it. Win-win, right?

Before tonight's 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' premiere, we pick 5 favorite Garden State characters

Tonight marks the fourth season premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The reality show has introduced us to some of the mid-Atlantic’s most colorful characters, from fiercely protective big sister and mother Caroline Manzo to Fabulicious! table flipper Teresa Giudice (still a contender on this season of The Celebrity Apprentice) and even Cop Without a Badge heroine Danielle Staub. But these ladies aren’t all that Jersey has to offer. The Garden State has been fertile ground for great fictional characters in pop culture. Below, we run down five of our favorite Jersey-born-and-bred characters. (Sorry, Shore fans! Snooki doesn’t technically count as a fictional character.)

Rejoice! Stephen Hawking's 'Big Bang Theory' cameo has landed -- VIDEO
Anticipation has been building in all of geekdom since The Big Bang Theory producers announced in March that nerd icon Stephen Hawking would make a cameo. Well, geeks and FOGs (friends of geeks), after last week’s heart-fluttering Leonard Nimoy voice cameo, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) stepped it up last night, actually meeting his hero Hawking. It was all going really well, until… Watch below. READ FULL STORY »

'The Big Bang Theory': How do you solve a problem like Raj Koothrappali?
Image Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS
I would love to be spending this time celebrating Leonard Nimoy’s fabulous guest spot on last night’s The Big Bang Theory. With Nimoy retired from on-camera acting, it was an inspired decision to have him play the voice of Sheldon’s Spock action figure, helping his owner through the thorny moral dilemma of whether to play with a vintage Star Trek toy, and what to do after Sheldon (Jim Parsons) does play with it — and it breaks. Placing Spock in various pensive and expressive poses as he guided and scolded Sheldon had me giggling throughout the episode. Better yet, there’s no reason why Spock-as-Sheldon’s-conscience can’t show up again at some point down the road.
Alas, what could have been one of the best Big Bangs of the season was marred by the episode’s other plotline: The increasingly woebegone romantic tribulations of Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar). READ FULL STORY »

PopWatch Planner: 'Mad Men,' 'Game of Thrones,' and 'The Killing' return, and Spock beams down to 'The Big Bang Theory'

Judging by its record-setting opening weekend, the odds are ever more in your favor that you’ve seen The Hunger Games by now. Which means your schedule is that much more free to have it be overwhelmed by the DVR death-match looming next Sunday, when the second seasons of The Killing and Game of Thrones premiere, against the second episode of Mad Men‘s fifth season (and, oh right, there’s The Good Wife and The Amazing Race and The Simpsons and the final season of Desperate Housewives, too). It’ll be up to you to decide how the heck to navigate this scheduling minefield, but click here to see how EW TV critic Ken Tucker’s wading through it.
In between, Madonna’s newest studio album hits stores, Spock(‘s voice) comes to The Big Bang Theory, and Julia Roberts and Sam Worthington valiantly vie for second place against the Hunger Games juggernaut. But first things first, tonight marks the long-awaited, two-hour return of Mad Men. Enjoy your week!
SUNDAY, March 25
Mad Men season premiere — 9 p.m., AMC
We’ve waited 17 months, so the least Don, Peggy, Joan, Roger, and Pete can do is welcome us back with a two hour feast of gorgeous 1960s nostalgia and doleful glances into bottomless chasms of existential ennui, right? READ FULL STORY »

First Look: Jim Parsons all dolled up for Broadway's 'Harvey' -- EXCLUSIVE PHOTO
Starring in a Broadway play is already daunting — so headlining said play in a role made famous by Jimmy Stewart must be absolutely terrifying. But The Big Bang Theory’s two-time Emmy winner Jim Parsons appears calm, cool, and collected as Elwood P. Dowd in the ad campaign for Roundabout Theatre Company’s upcoming Harvey (one of EW’s most anticipated shows of the year). Check out EW’s exclusive first look at the poster for the production below.
