Never underestimate the popularity of “The Big Bang Theory”, the sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady which was broadcast on CBS for 12 successful seasons. Not only is the show success in its own right, but he also helped the series to “Scorpion” to find his audience at the start by simply broadcasting. Indeed, during the first weeks of season 1, the “Big Bang theory” was the highlighting of the criminal drama of Nick Santora – and the management of CBS, Kelly Kahl, estimated that the two series completed rather well.
Most of the main characters in “The Big Bang Theory” are super geniuses who work in the fields of science and engineering. Meanwhile, “Scorpion” focuses on a Whiz IT – the one who owns a Qi of 197 – and his team while resolving cybercrimes. In a 2014 interview with The Wrap, Kahl explained that network leaders estimated that fans of “Big Bang Theory” would revolve towards “Scorpion” because of the similarities between the two programs, and that is why they decided to broadcast them next to the other. As he said at the point of sale:
“We really considered him a kind of extension of” The Big Bang Theory “, but in the world of theater. We loved he had new faces, we loved he had younger characters.”
Since the two show focus on sympathetic nerds, Kahl cannot be criticized for this line of thought. In addition, the decision has borne fruit, because “Scorpion” has become a success for CBS for a while, Kahl saying that he seduced a large audience and has checked several boxes that the network was looking for in emissions. In any case, it is also similar to the “Big Bang theory” in the sense that the two series are somewhat realistic.
Scorpion was inspired by a real computer engineering
Despite bizarre character centers in laughter, “The Big Bang Theory” is realistic with regard to his science. Chuck Lorre and his team hired experts to ensure that the series conversations on physics are scientifically accurate, making it a funny sitcom and an educational experience. “Scorpion” is another program which is informed by reality, because its protagonist, Walter O’Brien (Elyes Gabel), is based on a real genius of the same name … Although it is not the most realistic representation of cybersecurity workers.
If you are wondering why the name of O’Brien seems familiar, it is because he is known to have said that he had hacked NASA servers at the age of 13, using the pseudonym “Scorpion”. Although some questions have been raised about the accuracy of his statements, it is undeniable that the character and the background of O’Brien lends himself to a television series on cybersecurity experts. Otherwise, “Scorpion” is a work of fiction (and very entertaining to that).
Once upon a time, “The Big Bang Theory” was going to be a program on computer experts, but not the kind of adorable O’Brien Nerds and his team are made up of “Scorpion”. If Lorre and Co. Procedure with their original vision, however, the two series could have completed more than they already do.
