The cast and creators of TV’s “smartest, funniest and now Emmy-nominated” The Big Bang Theory dropped in on Comic-Con today to talk about the upcoming 5th season of the popular series. Executive producers Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady and Steve Molaro joined principal cast Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch on stage. In a nice touch for fans of the show, Carol Ann Susi provided the disembodied voice of Mrs. Wolowitz to introduce the panel. Hit the jump for more behind-the-scenes shenanigans and sneak peeks of the upcoming season.

“The Nerd Empire Strikes Back” for season three of The Big Bang Theory and the gang is back and up to their usual shenanigans. Raj is still too nervous to talk around Penny, Howard is willing to try anything to get laid (even almost get a tattoo), Sheldon is still a hilarious and neurotic mess, and Leonard and Penny are dating. Wait a minute, that’s a new development… Now Sheldon has to deal with being the third wheel to Penny and Leonard’s tumultuous and severely awkward relationship. This season delivers the same amount of laughs as the last two and Sheldon is still the NERD KING, but the flaws of the more standard sitcom jokes and some performances are starting to stick out more this time around.

A show I really love is “The Big Bang Theory”. While the first two seasons were good, this latest season has been the best so far. That’s because it feels like the writers have found all the characters voices and they’re delivering some of the best situational comedy on TV. The fact is…if you read a site like Collider and you’re not watching “The Big Bang Theory”, you’re missing out on a show that you’d really like.
Anyway, at last night’s 2009 Scream Awards, I managed to speak with Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh Koothrappali on “Big Bang Theory”) and we talked about how this season has been going and a lot more. Watch the interview after the jump:

With Comic-Con 2009 fast approaching, get ready for a ton of updates about what’s going on at this year’s convention. Since there is no reason to ramble on, I’ll keep all the intros brief.
If you’re a fan of either “The Big Bang Theory” or “Fringe”, both shows will be there and both are bringing the cast and creators. While production on the shows start around the convention, they will still have some fun videos to watch. The info on both is after the jump:
