Yep, after 12 seasons, it was confirmed that the show would be coming to an end this May.

And while there is no doubt that much of the public seemed relieved to know that their prayers have been answered, it’s important to acknowledge the folk who truly got a kick out of Sheldon and the squad.

We mean, it ran for 12 seasons, so someone was definitely watching, right?

“So, in that way, it’s exciting, you know? What is this next chapter of life? What is this next chapter of career for all of us?”

So yes, he’ll certainly be sad, but he needs you to be as strong as he’s going to be, guys.
