09/13/2014

OVERVIEW: The most-watched comedy and #1 entertainment series among Adults 18–49 on broadcast TV and called “…one of television’s smartest shows” by the New York Daily News, The Big Bang Theory continues to capture the hearts of viewers and critics alike, averaging nearly 20 million Total Viewers per week during the 2013-2014 season, a +5% increase from the previous season! Now fans can relive all of the laughs of one of the best seasons to date of this comic mainstay when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releases The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Seventh Season on DVD and Blu-ray Combo September 16, 2014. Season Seven is also available to purchase on Digital HD. The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Seventh Season – includes all 24 episodes plus all-new extras including six featurettes and a hysterical gag reel!

The Big Bang Theory—which was renewed for three more seasons—revolves around Leonard and Sheldon, two roommates who are brilliant physicists – geniuses in the laboratory, but socially challenged outside of it. Enter beautiful, street-smart neighbor, Penny, who aims to teach them a thing or two about life. Despite their on-again, off-again relationship in the past, Leonard believes he’s found true love with Penny. Even Sheldon has found a female companion – entering into a “Relationship Agreement” with neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler. In their free time, Leonard and Sheldon continue to enjoy frequent trips to the comic book store and fantasy role-playing games with their ever-expanding universe of friends, including fellow scientists Raj and Howard, and Howard's adorable microbiologist wife, Bernadette. Season Seven features unexpected story arcs, captivating all-star celebrity guest appearances from the worlds of science and science fiction, and, of course, sidesplitting moments of laughter. 

SYNOPSIS: Socially challenged they remain, but the scientific geniuses of The Big Bang Theory always deliver hilarious results. Leonard returns from his North Sea expedition to find that his relationship with Penny involves more beta-testing than he’s ever done in a lab. Howard’s attachment issues with the women in his life in particular and Raj’s social breakthrough with women in general provide more laughs. Bernadette and Amy stand staunchly by the men in their life, even when they’re sitting in marathon role-playing games. Sheldon sees his mom (Laurie Metcalf) in a totally different way, parties with James Earl Jones, establishes a (sort of) bond with his idol Professor Proton (Emmy® winner Bob Newhart) and makes a scientific breakthrough that breaks down before you can say Science Friday. Experience your own humor breakthrough with this 3-disc, 24-episode Season Seven set of TV’s most popular comedy.
