"Still miles from that": When The Big Bang Theory casts talked about Season 7 and how things were changing 

When The Big Bang Theory hit season seven, fans were buzzing, cast members were reminiscing, and the show itself was evolving before everybody's eyes! In an exclusive cast interview with Entertainment Tonight that aired 11 years ago, the main actors sat down and talked about how the show had evolved, both in storylines and in their own lives.

It was not another season—this was when the cast realized that something was shifting beneath their feet, even when life on set itself continued to be familiarly, belly-laughing normal.

When the interviewer asked Jim Parsons about when Amy and Sheldon are going to get physical, he replied,

"I've often said that if we ended up with a baby, it would be through a test tube.

Then Mayim Bialik continued by saying,

You know, I mean, it's just, I think we're still miles from that, though. And I think that's, I think that's what's sweet. And again, it's to the credit of our writers that they don't feel the need to keep driving home this relationship plot every episode. In the season opener, we actually don't have any scenes together."

The actors came on fully aware that change was happening, but that concept of an actual finish? Nope, that was still comfortably out of reach! Their speculations gave us a peek backstage, showing how the show was balancing change with the same frantic pace that got it such a huge hit in the first place to start with.

A new level of comfort, but no finish line yet

In the interview, the cast said that by Season 7, the show was in a new groove. Jim Parsons (Sheldon) explained how the characters were more developed and the actors themselves were comfortable in their roles like never before. Nevertheless, even though they were comfortable, no one sensed that the end was near.

There was a feeling of depth among the cast that the universe of The Big Bang Theory was continuing to grow. The storylines were developing, the relationships were getting deeper, and the humor was as razor-sharp as ever. Emotionally, though, they weren't leaving behind anything. Rather, it was like they were entering a more mature, richer part of the life of the show.

Balancing success with staying grounded in The Big Bang Theory

Another gem of the interview was the fact that despite The Big Bang Theory's huge success, it hadn't gotten into anyone's head on set. Despite record-breaking ratings and cultural impact, the cast was genuine in expressing gratitude and humility in the interview.

They emphasized that the team spirit never turned arrogant, and everyone still viewed every new episode as an opportunity to entertain and not bank on previous achievements.

This down-to-earth strategy maintained the show's genuine charm, making it easy to follow even as it reached global phenomenon status. Everyone seemed to be in agreement that staying true to the original essence of the show was the secret to its continued success.

Looking ahead: Unwritten chapters of The Big Bang Theory

Even as the interviewers questioned the cast about what was to come, there was a general sense that no one was rushing to find out how the story ended. "Still miles from that" was not a throwaway remark—it was a reflection of their mindset. The cast was intensely interested in the show's developing storylines, eager for what was yet to be.

Rather than getting ready for the end, they seemed determined to enjoy every moment as it came. This attitude not only kept high morale but also assisted in developing the creative spark that propelled The Big Bang Theory through later seasons, eventually to become one of the greatest sitcoms ever.
