It’s become a “thing” for real scientists to be featured on the show’s whiteboard.
The Big Bang Theory proved to be one-of-a-kind, with many scientists tuning into the show and finally giving American sitcoms a chance. Better than that, many have actually participated by pitching their own calculations and results to the show, hoping that it will be the next to appear on the cast’s whiteboards. What a way to rake in the attention and smart fans!
