The fourth season of the American sitcom ''The Big Bang Theory'', began airing on CBS on September 23, 2010. During the season, actress Kaley Cuoco was absent from two episodes after she fell off a horse and the horse accidentally crushed her leg. When she returned to the series, she was shown working as a bartender instead of waitressing at her usual workplace, The Cheesecake Factory, to hide her injury. In January 2011, ''The Big Bang Theory'' was renewed for an additional three years; extending it through the 2013/14 season, for a fifth, sixth, and seventh season. Season four starts four months after the end of season 3. == Cast == (詳細はDr. Leonard Hofstadter, portrayed by Johnny Galecki (24 episodes), is an experimental physicist with an IQ of 173 who received his Ph.D when he was 24 years old. He shares an apartment with colleague and friend, Sheldon Cooper. He and Penny dated at one point during the series, but they have since broken up. He has been dating Raj's sister, Priya. * Dr. Sheldon Cooper, portrayed by Jim Parsons (24 episodes), is a theoretical physicist. Originally from East Texas, he was a child prodigy, starting college at the age of 11, right after completing the fifth grade. He has an IQ of 187 and exhibits a strict adherence to routine; a lack of understanding of irony, sarcasm, and humor; and a complete lack of humility or basic empathy. He has a platonic friendship with his female equivalent Amy Farrah Fowler. * Penny, portrayed by Kaley Cuoco (22 episodes), is a waitress who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. She has aspirations to a career in show business, and has been to casting calls and auditions but has not been successful thus far. Her last name has never been revealed. She and Leonard dated during the third season, but they have since broken up. At the end of the fourth season she spent the night with Raj. * Howard Wolowitz, portrayed by Simon Helberg (24 episodes), works as an aerospace engineer. He is Jewish, and lives with his mother. Unlike Sheldon, Leonard, and Raj, Howard lacks a Ph.D. He defends this by pointing out that he has a master's degree in Engineering from MIT and the apparatus he designs are actually built and launched into space, unlike the purely abstract work of his friends. He provides outrageous pick-up lines and fancies himself as a ladies' man with suitably unimpressed reactions from Penny. Though he finds that he has limited success with other women at first, he begins dating Bernadette in season 3, but they break up; they get back together in the Season 4 episode "The Hot Troll Deviation", and become engaged in the episode "The Herb Garden Germination". * Dr. Rajesh "Raj" Koothrappali (24 episodes), portrayed by Kunal Nayyar, originally comes from New Delhi, India. He is an astrophysicist. Known commonly as "Raj", he works alongside Sheldon exploring the string theory implications of gamma rays from dark matter annihilations. He is very shy around women and is physically unable to talk to them unless he drinks alcohol (or thinks he has). However, he has much better luck with women as opposed to his overly confident best friend Howard. His sister, Priya, has been dating Leonard. * Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, portrayed by Mayim Bialik (15 episodes), is a woman Raj and Howard meet on an online dating site using a faux account for Sheldon. She is essentially a female duplicate of Sheldon and she and Sheldon become friends although, as Sheldon claims she is a girl and is his friend, but she cannot be his girlfriend. She was upgraded to main cast status in the episode "The 21-Second Excitation". Amy pushes her way into Penny's life claiming that she is her best friend or "bestie", while Penny eventually becomes good friends with Amy, tolerating her "Sheldon-like" quirks. * Bernadette Rostenkowski, portrayed by Melissa Rauch (15 episodes), is a waitress and co-worker of Penny paying her way through graduate school microbiology studies. Bernadette is introduced to Howard by Penny. At first she and Howard do not get along, as they appear to have nothing in common. When they find out that they both have overbearing mothers, they feel a connection. She was upgraded to main cast status in the episode "The Hot Troll Deviation", in which she and Howard revisit their previously unsuccessful relationship. By the end of season four, they are engaged to be married. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Big Bang Theory (season 4)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
