‘The Big Bang Theory’ Co-Creator Says Penny Was ‘Cliched’ as the ‘Dumb Blonde’ in Show’s Early Seasons: ‘She Was Sadly One-Dimensional in Many Ways’


Chuck Lorre says Kaley Cuoco's Penny was 'cliched' as the 'dumb blonde' in the show's early seasons.

“ The Big Bang Theory ” co-creator Chuck Lorre says Kaley Cuoco ‘s character Penny took a few seasons to fully understand. Cuoco’s Penny didn’t enter “The Big Bang Theory” cast until Lorre penned a “do-over” pilot after shooting a failed first version that never aired. Certainly, in the beginning, she was sadly one-dimensional in many ways, but the gift of a TV series that starts working is you get time to learn.”
