The show's executive producer, Bill Prady, posted to Twitter after the announcement, calling the cast his family and the show a labor of love.
There are many ways to look at the dozen years of Big Bang Theory as we draw to a close, but for me it will be the family that gathered each week to create a true labor of love. I will treasure my Big Bang family to the end of my days.
