The sixth season of the American sitcom ''The Big Bang Theory'' aired on CBS from September 27, 2012 to May 16, 2013.〔 The series crossed the 20 million viewer mark for the first time with this season's "The Bakersfield Expedition",〔 which along with ''NCIS'', made CBS the first network to have two scripted series reach that large an audience in the same week since 2007. This success has been attributed to the sitcom's exposure in syndication, its late 2010 move to the Thursday 8:00pm ET time-slot, and the influence of show-runner Steven Molaro (who took over from Bill Prady) on the characters' storylines.〔 == 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 broke up during season 3. They start dating again in season 5 though their relationship has been rocky since Leonard proposed to Penny in bed. Throughout season 6, Penny and Leonard became more comfortable as a couple with Leonard asking Penny to propose to him when she was ready. * 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 received the Stevenson award when 14 and received his Ph.D when he was 16. 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 is dating Amy Farrah Fowler. During this season, he has shown remarkable improvement dealing with his issue of touch phobia, and has admitted to Penny and Leonard and later Amy that he is open to the idea of him and Amy having sex someday. * Penny, portrayed by Kaley Cuoco (24 episodes), is a waitress who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. She has aspirations to an acting career, but has not been particularly successful thus far, only boasting a few small roles as well as a part in a hemorrhoid commercial. She and Leonard dated during season 3 and broke up. In the finale episode of Season 4, she was thought to have slept with Raj after drinking, but Raj revealed to her they did not. During season 5, Penny begins to date Leonard again, but their relationship is not steady though she loves him and is committed to him. By the end of season 6, their relationship is going very well. Her last name has never been revealed. * Howard Wolowitz, portrayed by Simon Helberg (24 episodes), is an aerospace engineer. He is Jewish, and lived with his mother until this season. Unlike Sheldon, Leonard, and Raj, Howard lacks a Ph.D, which is a point of mocking between the four friends. He defends this by pointing out that he has a master's degree in Engineering from MIT and the equipment he designs is actually built and launched into space (and so is he), unlike the purely abstract work of his friends. He provides outrageous pick-up lines and fancies himself 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", become engaged in the episode "The Herb Garden Germination" and are married in the last episode of season 5. At the beginning of season 6 he was on the ISS. * Dr. Rajesh "Raj" Koothrappali , portrayed by Kunal Nayyar (24 episodes), is an astrophysicist from New Delhi, India. Known commonly as "Raj", he works alongside Sheldon exploring the string theory implications of gamma rays from dark matter annihilation. He is very shy around women and suffers from selective mutism which means he is physically unable to talk to them unless he drinks alcohol. He is known to be part metrosexual with a strong feminine side, and he is a very emotional person. His sister, Priya, dates Leonard in season 4 and part of season 5, but they break up when Leonard finds out she slept with her old boyfriend in the episode, "The Good Guy Fluctuation". He finds a friend in Stuart Bloom after Howard goes into space and is married. He begins to date Lucy, a shy woman with similar social problems of her own. She breaks up with him at the end of the season, though he finds that he can talk to Penny. * Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski Wolowitz, portrayed by Melissa Rauch (23 episodes), is a microbiologist. Bernadette was introduced to Howard by Penny while the two were working together at the Cheesecake Factory. 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; however, 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. She and Howard get engaged in the episode, "The Herb Garden Germination", and much comic fodder is created through similarities between Bernadette and Mrs. Wolowitz. She marries Howard just before he goes into space at the end of season 5. * Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, portrayed by Mayim Bialik (22 episodes), is a neurobiologist. Raj and Howard meet her on an online dating site using a fake account for Sheldon. She is very similar to Sheldon, except that she is more open to social interactions and thus more susceptible to conventional behavior. She becomes close friends with Sheldon, prompting regular assertions from him that she is a girl and is his friend, but she is not his girlfriend. She finally became his girlfriend when Sheldon decides to change the course of their relationship after he becomes jealous when Amy goes out on a date with comic book store owner Stuart Bloom. By the end of season 5 they have progressed to holding hands though Amy is inching Sheldon toward a deeper relationship which gradually starts to become intimate in season 6 ending in some "intercourse" gameplay between their Dungeons and Dragons characters. Amy also forms a quirky friendship with Penny, whom Amy frequently refers to as her "bestie" and becomes Bernadette's Maid of Honor at her and Howard's wedding. 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 6)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
