Why The Big Bang Theory Was Banned In China

At the peak of its popularity, The Big Bang Theory was banned in China, and here’s the reason why. Premiering in 2007, The Big Bang Theory wasn’t an instant hit despite eventually becoming one of the most successful comedies in the last decade. CBS executives had to ask co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady to rework the pilot, which resulted in several cast changes. In the end, The Big Bang Theory eventually found its ensemble, which was the backbone of its eventual success. The sitcom became so big not just in North America but in other international territories.
