When we first started 'The Big Bang Theory,' I would get incredibly nervous because it's such a big show and I was just out of graduate school. I'd come in and have this huge responsibility for the one line that everyone hopes will bring down the house.

I love Chuck Lorre. I did a little guest spot on 'Roseanne' when I was fourteen. It was a whirlwind experience in a week and I think with Chuck, I had auditioned for him for a couple of other shows of his over the years.

I'd always wanted the show to be more reality based science fiction, something along the lines of The Day the Earth Stood Still, which I consider to be the classic science fiction film.

— Gil Gerard

I was always fascinated by science-fiction shows, shows like 'Star Trek' and 'Lost in Space.'

'MacGyver' of course, that's probably my favorite show of all time because it was a guy who was so, so smart and could use his wits, and his technical know-how could get him out of any situation.

I've always loved science fiction. I think the smartest writers are science fiction writers dealing with major things.

I'm a huge 'Futurama' fan, so that's my closest sci-fi tendency.

I don't have much time for TV shows, but if I did, I'd watch 'Seinfeld' reruns.

'Big Bang Theory' is not my kind of show. It's not my humor. I don't like multicam comedies. I don't want an audience to tell me when to laugh.
