See If You’re Smarter Than Sheldon Cooper With This “Big Bang Theory” Quiz

If you find yourself glued to your TV to see how awkward Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) is with literally everything, or how sassy Penny (Kaley Cuoco) is with her friends on “The Big Bang Theory,” then this trivia quiz is for you. The show may not be airing any new episodes anymore (we know, we’re sad too), but due to the beauty of syndication, we don’t think we’ll have to say farewell to this group of friends any time soon.

After years of being on TV, “The Big Bang Theory” aired its finale in 2019 to much fanfare. Each character’s story came to a resolute ending, tying things up pretty neatly with a bow. Plus, we even get a teeny flash-forward to see what comes next!

The award-winning show, which aired more than 200 episodes, became the longest running sitcom in history when it went dark in 2019. Prior to earning the title, “Cheers” was the longest running with 275 episodes in the can. We won’t reveal quite how many episodes the show had, because you’ll get into that in our trivia questions, but just know it’s a lot! And over the course of those 200+ episodes, this group of friends went through it all together: relationships, breakups, deaths, weddings, and more. We laughed, we cried, and we absolutely loved Sheldon and Amy (Mayim Bialik) development.

If you’re a huge fan of the show and haven’t missed an episode since the premiere, these trivia questions will probably be a breeze for you. Test your knowledge to see how well you know Amy Farrah Fowler’s past endeavors, Sheldon’s quirks, and more with the questions ahead. Remember: if you don’t do well, Dr. Cooper will absolutely be judging you.
