How old are they all in 2016?


The characters, I mean. Does anyone know?

Well, I just watched the episode where Sheldon sets up online dating for Penny and she tells him that she is 22. - This was season 2

In the episode where Sheldon gets fired, in season 1, he says that he worked 3,5 at the university, before that he worked 4 years on his these, was in college and even before that in 5th grade. I think it was stated somewhere that he started university when he was 11, so 11+4+4+3.5 would be about 22.5 years in season 1.

Leonard said he got his PHD when he was 24, so he was at least 24 in season 1. He has is birthday episode in season 1, but I don´t think they said how old he got. I could imagine he is 25 - He already has his PHD and worked in the same job at the university.

I am not sure about Wolowitz and Raj.

I'm pretty sure Howard and Raj both mentioned being 26 in season 1. So they would be 35 now, I guess.

Unless Leonard didn't actually get his Ph.D until after moving in with Sheldon, he must have been about 27 or 28 in season 1. According to events in "The Staircase Implementation," he'd already been living with Sheldon for about 3 years at the start of season 1.

Oh, ok I haven´t seen this episode yet.

I'm pretty sure the guys are all the same age (approx.) and are roughly 5 years penny's senior. There fore in Series 2 (Penny says she's 22) Penny is 22 and the guys are all around 27 and it has been said that Penny is 30 now which makes the guys 35. In real life there is 10 years between Jonny and Kaley so the chaps have been aged down.

I think Bernadette is the same as Penny whilst Amy is the same as the guys.

To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?

And note that inconsistency is an unfortunate hallmark of this show.

Sheldon was born February 26, 1980. Also Amy was born December 17 (no idea what year). Also where did that range for Howard come from?
