The Big Bang Theory: 10 Major Predictions For Season 12

This just has to happen, right?

The elevator in the main apartment block being broken has been a running gag for the entirety of the series after it was blown up by the guys. Because of this, the stairs have always allowed time for conversation between whoever's going up or down. But just why has the elevator never been fixed?

It's a question that has been on the minds of fans for about as long as it's been inactive. No-one knows if or when it'll be mended, however it's pretty much a given that it'll be fixed before the theme tune plays one final time. It's got a story behind it and, at times, has been a focal point of argument between the gang, such as when the guys had the stairs blocked with a time machine which prevented Penny from getting out.

At this stage, it seems like the perfect way to end the show. Have all the characters we've come to love and adore over the past 12 seasons gather outside the elevator as it pings open for the first time in years. The final words being 'let's take the stairs for a change'. A fine way to end what has been one of CBS' greatest creations.
