Just one day after Netflix secured the streaming rights to Seinfeld in a deal reportedly worth more than $500 million, WarnerMedia’s HBO Max has gone one step further, acquiring the rights to The Big Bang Theory in a deal reportedly worth more than $1 billion.

The deal gives WarnerMedia’s HBO Max the exclusive domestic streaming rights for five years, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That means another streaming service could carry the show in global markets. The deal also extends the syndication deal between Warner Bros. Television and TBS through 2028.

    There may be a silver lining: anything that gets the hoi polloi interested in science or to actually learn some science is GOOD.

    Neither the STEM and non-STEM participants thought they learned much science from the program, either because they already thought they knew the content or because the main topic of hard science and theories were not seen as useful to their daily lives. Yet, both groups were able to clearly recall specific science-related content present in the program and many reported that they search online to better understand the science presented as jokes within the plot of the program.
