The showrunners behind “The Big Bang Theory” are defending one of the bigger choices they made in the recent series finale. It was revealed halfway through the hourlong series wrap up that Penny was two months pregnant with their first child. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, showrunners Steve Holland and Stephen Molaro explained why they wanted to give Penny the ending they did. “Big Bang Theory, making Penny pregnant after saying she she didn’t want kids, especially pregnant after drunken sex, is the grossest thing on TV in a longtime. "So... Penny has spent the entire show VEHEMENTLY not wanting kids... but suddenly, because it's the finale, she is pregnant and happy about it.
