Presto starts streaming Big Bang Theory
A few months after Network Seven landed the rights to repeats of the Big Bang Theory Foxtel and Seven’s streaming service Presto has also attained rights to stream the hit comedy.
The announcement:
The Big Bang Theory exploded onto Presto today featuring the first seven seasons of the hilarious and award-winning US comedy. The hit show that mixes high IQs with low social skills arrived exclusively for Presto TV and Presto Entertainment subscribers to stream on-demand and is sure to spark off a wave of laughs over the summer. The eighth season will be added in 2016.
The Big Bang Theory introduces Presto viewers to lovable physicist roommates Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), whose predictable and introverted lives are thrown into chaos when Penny (Kaley Cuoco), an attractive waitress and aspiring actress, moves in across the hall. Penny quickly becomes an integral part of Sheldon and Leonard’s circle of friends, which includes engineer and onetime astronaut Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg), astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) and, eventually, Sheldon’s female companion, Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), and Howard’s adorable microbiologist wife, Bernadette (Melissa Rauch). Penny’s street smarts and outgoing personality collide with the guys’ peculiar habits and scientific view of the world to create the ultimate big bang of humour and friendship.
