Adult virgins1 almost never get any love from sitcoms2 (or, you know, any shows) but The Big Bang Theory is doing their best to cater3 to that most underserved of audiences.
情景喜剧（或者，你懂的，任何电视节目）很少会考虑老处女的感受，但《生活大爆炸》却将倾其所能迎合这部分常被忽略的群体的感受。
In a very special episode airing December 17, BBT's Sheldon and Amy will finally sleep together. "After over five years of dating, we felt the time was right for Sheldon and Amy to finally
consummate4 their relationship,” said EP Steve Molaro after filming the episode. “And we’re so excited for the audience to see the journey over the next several episodes.” I want to write bazinga! but I have just enough self-control to stop myself.
For those of you who don't watch The Big Bang Theory, the nerdy couple
portrayed5 by Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik provide an interesting spin on the "will they or won't they?" story. Most shows either delay the formation of a couple as long as possible (say, Niles and Daphne) or, alternatively, drag out the specifics of a romance (Ross and Rachel straight up had a child and lived together but still didn't get it) for seasons. As the show enters its ninth season, Sheldon and Amy have been in a long-term relationship for years without venturing toward sexual
intimacy6.
Having sex will require negotiating the pricklier aspects of Sheldon's
supercilious7 yet socially awkward personality, as well as both of the characters' virginity. The couple is currently broken up on the show, having ended things during the season-eight finale, but will
undoubtedly8 reunite in time to
fumble9 toward romance. Meanwhile the network had ordered the show through a planned tenth season, but really … isn't "super nerds find true love and finally get to have sex" kind of the perfect note to end on?
