‘The Big Bang Theory’ season 7, episode 1 preview: Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons talk premiere

Tonight, “The Big Bang Theory” will be back on CBS with new episodes, and that means an opportunity now to talk about some of what you are going to see.

In the video below (which we’re hoping is going to be a new tradition for the show every week), you can see the cast along with executive producers Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, and Steven Molaro all discuss everything that goes into this episode. Penny and Sheldon are going to be lonely without Leonard around, which could in turn lead to some very bizarre moments of bonding for each other. As Johnny Galecki says, the easy assumption to make here would be that Leonard would be rather lonely without anyone he knows around, but that quickly turns out to not be the case. Instead, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco’s characters are the ones who are starting to feel alone and left out.

Meanwhile, we are going to see Raj trying to put some of his new lady-talking skills to the test, which goes about as badly as the phrase “lady-talking skills” looks now that we’ve actually written it into an article. Howard’s there to help him, but let’s be honest here: Howard is probably the second-worst person alive at talking to women. It’s the blind leading the blind.

Finally, you have Amy and Bernadette spending some time together at a science convention, which could be really fun for them. Plus, Amy gets to experience just what it is like when someone buys them drinks at a bar. They’ll surely be faithful to their guys, but they do like the attention.

Just in case this video for whatever reason is not enough for you, don’t worry: You can also check out more footage at the link here in the way of the official promo for the show.
