[show]During the third season, the producers became aware of a series called 'The Theorists', produced and broadcast in the country of Belarus, that was a virtual copy of The Big Bang Theory. Legal action over copyright infringement would be as good as futile, since the production company was pretty much owned by the Belarus government. However, a lawsuit turned out not to be necessary, because when word got out that the show was a rip-off, the actors quit and the show was immediately canceled.
[hide] - Each of the male characters has a signature clothing article worn in virtually every episode: Sheldon - t-shirts; Leonard - hoodies; Raj - warm-up suit jackets; Howard - turtlenecks/dickies.
