The show was renewed for an additional three years in a new multi-year broadcast deal which insures that the hit CBS comedy is on the air through the 2013-2014 season.

"It doesn't take a theoretical physicist to see why this show is a BIG part of our comedy future," said CBS President Nina Tassler. "From ratings to critical acclaim to pop culture buzz, it's struck a chord on all levels."

"The creative genius of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady and the on-camera talents of an amazing young ensemble have created a comedy that will entertain viewers for a long time," Tassler continued. "We're proud to partner with Warner Bros. on another highly successful, long-running comedy."

"We are delighted and grateful that CBS has once again rewarded 'The Big Bang Theory' with a multiyear renewal," said Peter Roth. "This is a testament to the inspired and brilliant work of the show's entire creative team, and we look forward to continuing this highly successful partnership."

The show was the 2009-2010 season's #1 scripted series for adults 18-49 and the #2 comedy among viewers and is currently averaging nearly 14 million viewers.

"The Big Bang Theory" is currently in its fourth season. Along with being a hit and earning plenty of critical acclaim, the show also earned star Jim Parsons an Emmy Award for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and is also nominated for this year's Golden Globes.
