It's the end of an era. The Big Bang Theory represented the last of the great sitcoms by Chuck Lorre. More than that, the end of the long-running reliable network sitcom. The best comedy is now on cable, premium or otherwise. The kind of good-natured, family friendly humor is now in short supply. Modern comedies take more risks that pay off handsomely. But Big Bang Theory was consistently good enough. And it translated quite well in international markets. Jim Parson's Sheldon has achieved icon status in our culture. That is quite the achievement. The finale gave our seven protagonists a fitting end. Way better than the Game of Thrones finale.
