"The Big Bang Boppers"


I'm sure most of you are familiar with the show ,"The Big Bang Theory". Those who are familiar with this show probably know how amazing and well thought out this show is and it takes true geniuses like Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady  to write out and create such an amazing work of art. Who would have the ignorant mind to steal such an amazing idea? Well did you know in Belarus, they were trying to make a Belarusian remake of the show? Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of you who watch this show would be quite annoyed about   
the fact that some TV production industry in some far off country in Europe just "bopped" off the idea of an amazing show. I myself got super annoyed when I heard this.
Just so you guys could start believing me, they titled the show, "The Theorists". Most of the shows were just Russian translations from "The Big Bang Theory" and all the character were the same or just sounded differently to the American version. Just look at the image on top and you can clearly make out a Leonard look-a-like sitting on the couch with the green sweater.  Luckily, the creator of "The Big Bang Theory", Chuck Lorre, started complaining. No legal actions could be worked out, because this was all the way in Belarus. Though, in the end all the actors and producers started quitting after they found out that they were in a unlicensed show.
