Mayim Bialik was always meant to be part of The Big Bang Theory since the beginning.
Some characters are evergreen and stand the test of time, and Mayim Bialik’s brilliant portrayal of the nerdy and studious Amy Farrah Fowler will be remembered by not just fans of The Big Bang Theory, but viewers around the world. Before her marquee gig in the blockbuster show, Bialik made her name as a teen star in the sitcom Blossom, in which she played the precocious titular protagonist.
Interestingly, even though Bialik first made her appearance in season 3 as Amy Farrah Fowler, her presence was acknowledged as early as season 1 through a clever reference that connected her to her role in Blossom. A hawk-eyed fan’s observation of this made many viewers excited about this intriguing piece of trivia.
Mayim Bialik’s Presence In The Big Bang Theory Was Hinted Long Before Her Entry
Mayim Bialik’s brilliant and nerdy Amy Farrah Fowler served as the perfect foil to the eccentric genius of Jim Parsons’ Sheldon Cooper in the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory. While challenging him intellectually every step of the way, she also becomes the unlikely, but perfect love interest to Sheldon, which makes for some of the best moments in the show.
While Bialik entered the series only in season 3, a keen Redditor discovered that her presence was indicated as early as season 1 in a very clever manner. In episode 13 of the first season titled The Bar Jar Conjecture, Raj, Howard, and Leonard are considering who could join their Physics bowl team after they decided to kick Sheldon out.
Raj then states that the perfect candidate would be the girl who played the titular character Blossom in the teen series who is now a neuroscientist. To put this into context, Bialik began her career playing the gawky teenager in Blossom, which was inventively linked to her neuroscientist character in The Big Bang Theory. This bit of trivia excited quite a few fans on social media.
