People are forced to like us now because of reruns, Simon Helberg jokes

This is the fourth year that Chuck Lorre’s sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” celebrates on top but, totally unsurprising, its stars are still as humble (and totally adorable) as the day they started off on this amazing journey in 2007.

The cast was at PaleyFest 2013 and, among other things, also talked about these 4 years of being one of the most popular and critically successful shows in the US.

It’s all down to reruns, Simon Helberg joked, as cited by Contact Music.

“You're kind of forced to watch the show now. We're shoving it down people's throats, and then they're learning that they love that,” he said.

Jim Parsons is yet to recover from the shock of how successful the show is, so he can’t really comment on whatever secret recipe they have for it.

“There's something impossible to fathom about viewers and numbers and things like that. I can barely picture 20 people in one room. If you want to say 17 or 18 million, well you've lost me,” he says.

Above is a cut of some of the funniest scenes in “The Big Bang Theory.” You know, just in case you’re not addicted to it yet.
