The Big Bang Theory executive producer Steve Molaro wasn't the only one reaching for the Kleenex during the last scene of Thursday's season finale (8/7c, CBS).

Melissa Rauch and Simon Helberg
Don't be fooled by the photos you've seen. Just because Bernadette is in a wedding gown and is arm-in-arm with a tuxed-out Howard doesn't mean the two will actually make it down the aisle on The Big Bang Theory.
"There is very much an attempt to have a wedding, but as has been the case with them, there will be further obstacles," executive producer Steve Molaro tells TVGuide.com. "There will be a lot of things in play and then it's a question of 'What do I want?'"

Received your invite yet? On the SAG Awards red carpet, The Big Bang Theory cast told me that invitations to Howard and Bernadette's spring wedding are in the mail!
"I was stuffing invitations in the last episode we shot, so we're moving closer to the wedding," says a very excited Melissa Rauch (Bernadette). But the actress admits she had a bit of anxiety when she remembered the fate of George's fiancée, Susan, on Seinfeld, who died from licking toxic wedding-invitation envelopes in 1996. "I didn't actually...

1. HOMELAND
The best new series of the year is Showtime's twisty nail-biter of a psychological thriller, an emotionally intense cat-and-mouse game between two damaged souls: Damian Lewis as Nicholas Brody, a Marine POW who may have been turned by terrorists during eight years in Iraqi captivity, and Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison, the unstable CIA analyst who breaks all the rules to get under his skin — and at times under the sheets. (Bringing new meaning to undercover agent). The actors are as electrifying as the storytelling in this taut tale of homeland insecurity, which also features a marvelously restrained Mandy Patinkin as Carrie's melancholy mentor and a revelatory Morena Baccarin as Brody's understandably conflicted wife. Homeland comes from the veteran producers of 24, who have lost none of their knack for sustained suspense, but within this more realistic framework have been able to concoct a thoughtful and gripping meditation on the human toll of the war on terror.

Big Bang Theory
Of all the possible Big Bang Theory couplings, do any of them make for stranger bedfellows than Raj and Penny?
"I really don't think so! Especially if my reaction means anything," executive producer Steve Molaro tells TVGuide.com. "I remember Chuck [Lorre], Bill [Prady] and I were in the writers' room breaking the season finale and that story of [Raj and Penny sleeping together] came up. I think I had a strong reaction to it — facially. I was like, 'Really?!' I think Chuck was so amused by how strong my reaction was that he was like, 'Well, now we have to do it!'"

Melissa Rauch and Simon Helberg
For The Big Bang Theory's Howard (Simon Helberg), proposing to his girlfriend Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) was just half the battle. Unfortunately, the newly engaged couple still haS a long way to go before they tie the knot -- that is, if they ever tie the knot.
"There are some other things that they are going to discover about each other that they're going to have to work out," series co-creator and executive producer Bill Prady told reporters at Comic-Con Friday. "They never talked about what...

The Big Bang Theory
Bill Prady is an Emmy virgin and that's just fine with him.
The Big Bang Theory received its first nomination for comedy series Thursday, but the showrunner/executive producer has no clue which six episodes the show has submitted for the academy to review.
"I just got here, so I have no idea what the rules are. I'm learning about this from you right now!" he tells TVGuide.com. "I've never done this before. I'm going to assume that somebody knows. I'm going to say there's a high-place committee ...
