1. Leonard was the one who ruined the elevator
Anyone who hasn’t seen the series in order, from the first to the last chapter, probably doesn’t know how the damage that motivated so many discussions originated. In season three, Leonard tells Penny, “It was your fault.” While trying to manufacture fuel for a special ship, he created a dangerous explosive. The same ended up exploding in the elevator thanks to his flatmate. “Sheldon not only saved my life, he never ratted me out to the super,” Leonard acknowledges.
2. The heartfelt tribute to the actress who voiced Howard’s mother
Carol Ann Susi didn’t need to appear for a single second on the screen to shine in The Big Bang Theory🇧🇷 Howard Wolowitz’s eccentric mother used her voice until 2014, the year Carol passed away. The producers decided to give her character the same fate. However, one sweet detail may have gone unnoticed: since then, the refrigerator door of Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment has a picture of Carol on it.
3. The apartment number was hiding something
Sheldon and Leonard’s home was the location where many of the conflicts throughout the series took place. Therefore, the apartment number was not “4A” by chance: in English, it can be read as “foray”, and the meaning of this word is “incursion into enemy territory”.
4. The real address of the building is a mystery
In the fifth episode of the fourth season of the series, Sheldon assures that they live at 2311 Los Robles North Avenue in Pasadena, California. However, when searching for this address on Google Maps, we may discover that there is no building there. As if that weren’t enough, the last chapter of the fifth season causes even more doubts. It is at this point that, during Bernadette and Howard’s wedding, the address mentioned is 215 South Madison Avenue, where there is, yes, a building.
5. There were so many decoration details that some didn’t show up on the screen
Wil Wheaton, who played himself on the show as Cooper’s arch-nemesis, said that Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment was his favorite object from the set. It was an Aquaman action figure, which was next to one of the windows. “It’s an incredible thing, because it will never be seen on television. I believe it is an impressive little detail that someone on the team thought of,” he confessed.
6. The second, third and fourth floors of the building were the same place
Bazinga! The most attentive viewers probably figured this out easily. The same recording set was used, where some details were modified, such as the location of the elevator “prohibited” tape. But, as the most detailed noticed, the wear marks were always the same.
7. You can visit the original apartment
Warner Bros. Studios. offer a service of guided tours to the most famous sets recording your productions. Among them stands out the The Big Bang Theory🇧🇷 You can knock on Penny’s door or push the limits by sitting in Sheldon’s shoes.
8. The bathroom wasn’t where it appeared to be
On the other side of the door, at the end of the hall, should be the bathroom where, by the rules of the owners of the house, strangers could not enter. However, there was only one wall. O set where the bathroom was located was in another place, conveniently arranged so that the cameras could capture the scenes that took place there.
9. The apartment had a flag that reflected the relationship between Sheldon and Leonard
It was a “golden lion rampant in a blue field,” according to Sheldon. The symbol was designed by himself and included in the cohabitation agreement. The detail was that on the fridge there was a magnet with the same insignia, which was positioned according to the relationship between him and Leonard. If they had a problem, it turned upside down.
