Why are there so many scheduling gaps between The Big Bang Theorys new episodes?

The end of The Big Bang theory is drawing ever closer as we prepare to say goodbye to Sheldon, Leonard and the gang.

For now though the final series is still unfolding on E4 ahead of the show bidding farewell to the airwaves in the US next month.

The show took a break from screens during the midseason break, and returned in February – but since then its been absent from the airwaves a few times.

Were getting our Big Bang fix this week but other weeks have been Big Bang-free – so just whats going on?

Why are there so many scheduling gaps between The Big Bang Theorys new episodes?

Theres no official answer from Channel 4 but it could have something to do with the show following the scheduling pattern in the US.

Although the series returned from its midseason break in February, it has missed out a few weeks in the US schedules since then, including at the end of February.

Both The Big Bang Theory and its spin-off Young Sheldon also took a brief break from US screens in mid-March.

Since the UK is a few episodes behind the US, its possible that they could be spacing things out a bit in order to catch up with the US – meaning we would potentially get the final episode at the same time as them.

But none of this has been confirmed, of course.

Metro.co.uk has contacted E4 for further comment on this – but for now the good news is that the show is at least on tonight and next week, with new episode The Laureate Accumulation, on Thursday night at 8.30pm.

It looks as though that will be the last break for a while as well, as new episodes are also set to air for at least the next three weeks at the same time.

When will the final ever episode of The Big Bang Theory be aired?
