The actress points out that some elements of the couple, such as not having relations, made them something unique.
Since The Big Bang Theory began, the great couple of the series was made up of Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco). From the beginning there was a lot of attraction between the two and, since their personalities didn't seem to fit together, they aroused a lot of curiosity among the public. However, his prominence was put aside when Sheldon met Amy Farrah-Fowler. The scientist, not at all interested in relationships, suddenly had a love plot.
Mayim Bialik, actress of the 'sitcom', has recently spoken about what made the couple of Sheldon and Amy so special and hooked the public. The fact that many seasons went by without maintaining relationships was something unprecedented in a series and made them stand out from the others.
I think Jim and I didn't know where the relationship would go. It was a lot for us to not be a s----lly active couple but still be connected romantically in many ways. I'd say it's the longest non-s---al relationship on television, at least that I know of.
Bialik and Jim Parsons' characters seemed to fit better than Penny and Leonard, but their story was much slower. Their first relationship took place in the ninth season and was one of the most anticipated things by fans. Two seasons later, the scientists got married and closed a very special plot.
And it seems that the good connection and understanding between the characters crossed the screen because Parsons and Bialik have embarked on a new project together after the end of The Big Bang Theory. Both produce Call Me Kat, a 'sitcom' based on the British Miranda in which Bialik herself stars.
