Young Sheldon will shed a light on a different Sheldon Cooper.
Created by The Big Bang Theory executive producers Chuck Lorre and Steve Molaro, The Big Bang Theory spinoff follows 9-year-old Sheldon (Iain Armitage) as he grows up in East Texas and embarks on an innocent, awkward and hopeful journey toward the man he will become. Jim Parsons, who has played adult Sheldon for more than a decade on Big Bang, narrates the prequel series, which puts a hopeful and innocent spin on the nerdy genius.
“One of the things we learned going in is Jim has a magical quality. When he addresses the character of Sheldon, he can be so despicable and hard on his best friends but yet the audience forgives him,” Lorre said at the Television Critics Association press tour on Tuesday. “You take those same qualities and ask a 9 year old to bring that [and] he’s a brat. So we made...

In Big Bang Theory‘s seventh season, Jim Parson’s Sheldon off-handedly remarks to Bernadette’s dad that his own father, George Cooper Sr., died when he was just 14 years old.

There’s something strange going on beneath the streets of New Yorks City. Folks are disappearing and the city is covering it up. It takes a ragtag team – documentary photographer George Cooper, NYC police captain Bosch and this week’s sidekick, A.J. “The Reverend” Shepherd, former hippie-turned-soup kitchen man of God - to uncover the truth about the mutant-making toxic waste the government has been dumping on the lower east side. Are there Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers in the subways? Are they eating people? Are they ready to live above ground? You bet.
With a hilarious environmental message, grimy portrayal of Manhattan, and bit part played by John Goodman, C.H.U.D. is very much a product of the ‘80s. Daniel Stern is perfect as the Reverend, barely a man of God whose conspiracy theories turn out to be fact.

Actor who made his name at Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and appeared in the Beatles films, making firm friends with the Fab Four
Victor Spinetti, who has died of cancer aged 82, was an outrageously talented Welsh actor and raconteur who made his name with Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and found fame and fortune as a friend and colleague of the Beatles, appearing in three of their five films, and with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in Franco Zeffirelli's The Taming of the Shrew (1967).
It was while he was giving his brilliantly articulated and hilarious "turn" as the gobbledegook-shouting drill sergeant in Oh, What a Lovely War! in the West End in 1963 – he won a Tony for the performance when the show went to Broadway – that the Beatles visited him backstage and invited him to appear in A Hard Day's Night (1964).

The former English, Commonwealth and European heavyweight champion Henry Cooper passed away at his son's home in Surrey, England on Sunday.
Cooper began his career in 1954 and was considered one of the U.K.'s biggest boxing talents.
He represented Britain at the 1952 Olympics and his many triumphs included knocking down a young Muhammad Ali in 1963.
But, despite a hugely successful career in the ring, he never managed to win a world title and retired from the sport in 1971.
Cooper subsequently found fame as a regular TV pundit, including a longrunning stint as a team captain on BBC quiz show "A Question of Sport". He was also a published author and devoted a lot of his time to charity work.
The boxing champ took home the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in 1967 and 1970, becoming the first person to ever win the honour twice. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II...

President Obama, frustrated at slapdash efforts to stem the leaking Gulf oil, has done something remarkable: He's pulled together a crack science team. Among its members are an H-bomb scientist and an expert in nanotech and robotics.
The President's new effort came together very quickly last week, and we don't yet know much about what they're up to (other than that they're very busy). We do know who they are though, and by digging into their individual bios, and looking at each scientist's expertise, we may be able to guess at the sort of tech being discussed.
Alexander Slocum is a stand-out member of Obama's A-Team (though perhaps we should call it the O-Team, for a bunch of reasons beginning with "Oh god, what an oily mess"). Slocum is a professor of mechanical engineering at M.I.T., and his bio page at M.I.T.'s MechE Web page notes he's interested in nanotechnology,...
