The Big Bang Theory: 15 Insane Details You Definitely Missed
7. The Headrests Are Usually Removed From The Front Seats
Here's a nifty detail that's actually more commonplace in television than you may think. When there's a scene depicting the gang travelling in a car, the headrests in the front two seats are typically altered to lower them more than they should be or, more regularly, removed altogether.
This provides viewers with a better vision of those sitting in the back. Take the below scene for example from The Big Bang Theory's season three episode "The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary". While in the car with Howard and Bernadette sitting directly behind them, neither Leonard nor Penny has a headrest to protect them, creating a clearer visual of Howard and Bernadette.
Eagle-eyed viewers have also spotted that, sometimes, there are no rear-view mirrors, either.
