The best Big Bang episodes were the ones that made full use of its stellar cast. The B-plot, which concerns the rest of the guys’ anxiousness at the premiere of The Force Awakens, is funny enough, but the Shamy storyline is the episode’s beating heart and the reason why it’s such an iconic chapter in The Big Bang Theory‘s history. Watching Sheldon and Amy reach such an important milestone was incredible, especially for fans who had witnessed their relationship from the beginning. To make things extra special, he decides his gift to her will be their first night of intimacy, or as he crudely puts it, his “genitals.” Following their reconciliation, Sheldon decides to skip the long-awaited premiere of the new Star Wars movie to instead celebrate Amy’s birthday with her. Sheldon and Amy take a massive step in their relationship in season 9’s The Opening Night Excitation. The Penny/Leonard dynamic is front and center, but the episode’s highlight is the fantasy sequence in which Sheldon imagines himself as the Flash running to the Grand Canyon to vent his frustrations against Leonard. Most of the episode’s laughs come from the group’s ridiculous costumes, including Raj’s silly Aquaman suit and Penny’s lazy take on Wonder Woman. The obsessive Sheldon insists that Penny’s new boyfriend, the dimwitted Zach, joins them as Superman, much to Leonard and Penny’s discomfort. During season 4’s Halloween episode, The Justice League Recombination, they dress up as DC’s most powerful characters to attend Stuart’s party at the comic book store. The guys from The Big Bang Theory are fans of all comic books, but they have a soft spot for DC Comics. It’s always good to see Sheldon have a taste of his own medicine, and seeing Howard get his revenge for years of mistreatment is somewhat cathartic. The setup is nothing new - Howard makes Sheldon perform tasks for him, including making him wear a French maid’s outfit to work. The rest of the episode concerns Sheldon humiliating himself to convince Howard to introduce him to Hawking.

Hawking only has one scene at the end of the episode, but it’s all he needs to make an impression. He made his debut on the show during season 5’s The Hawking Excitation, in which Howard works alongside him, prompting Sheldon to try and secure a meeting to show him his latest paper. As Sheldon’s hero, Hawking was often mentioned by the group of scientists. The late Stephen Hawking was a crucial part of The Big Bang Theory. It’s all about Shamy, and the episode is one of their finest moments, proving everything is better when The Beach Boys are involved. The episode features other plots, but no one cares about those. Eventually, he remembers it’s The Beach Boy’s Darlin’ and realizes it’s about his feelings for Amy, prompting him to apologize and successfully reinstate their relationship. The plot concerns Sheldon as he becomes obsessed with a song he can’t identify. Their break-up in the season 8 finale sent fans into a summer of mourning, and their eventual reunion during the season 9 episode The Earworm Reverberation restored their faith in love. The pair went through many highs and lows throughout their relationship, mainly due to Sheldon’s quirks. Matthew McConaughey is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner.Sheldon and Amy are one of television’s most beloved couples. “Thanks to the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, we are always working on franchise expansions of this incredible world he has built. Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come,” a Paramount Network spokesperson told Deadline. Shortly after, Paramount Network released a statement denying that Kevin was leaving Yellowstone after his rumored request caused "frustration" and "morale problems” with the rest of the cast. Sources told Deadline that Paramount Network "declined" his ask and were eyeing a new Yellowstone spinoff starring Matthew McConaugheyinstead, wrapping up the original series. According to the outlet, the decision was made after Kevin Costner requested to film the remaining six episodes in one week. On February 6, Deadline reported that co-creator and showrunner Taylor Sheridan decided to end Yellowstone with season 5. Is Kevin Costner leaving the Yellowstone cast? Now, six episodes remain, perhaps coming to our TVs sometime between late May and late September. Though he didn't share more details at the time, viewers now know that the first eight episodes of Yellowstone season 5 aired at the end of 2022, concluding on January 1, 2023.
