The Big Bang Theory - The Complete Ninth SeasonThe Ninth Season of The Big Bang Theory will finally see Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) tie the knot (with still issue to work through) and some big changes for Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy‘s (Mayim Bialik) relationship which will go through a break-up and an unexpected reunion and escalation of the pair’s relationship. Howard (Simon Helberg) will deal with loss and impending fatherhood, and Raj (Kunal Nayyar) will juggle two women vying for his affections.
