Twitter Pitch: City of Pasadena (@PasadenaGov) declares 2/25 as “The Big Bang Theory Day” in celebration of @BigBang_CBS 200 episodes! #TBBT200
Burbank, CA — February 20, 2016 — To celebrate the milestone of reaching 200 episodes, the City of Pasadena has declared that Thursday, February 25 will officially be proclaimed The Big Bang Theory Day, within Pasadena city limits. The hit comedy series has been fictionally set in the Southern California city for its entire nine-season run.
In a joint statement, The Big Bang Theory executive producers Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro and Bill Prady said: “For 200 episodes, The Big Bang Theory has called Pasadena home. Even though we tape the show just down the road at Warner Bros., we’re honored that the city of Pasadena, which has given so much to our characters and our stories, has once again proved itself to be a true inspiration.”
Celebrating the 200th episode landmark at an event on Saturday evening, Pasadena Councilmember Andy Wilson, on behalf of Mayor Terry Tornek, joined series stars and producers – including Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, Melissa Rauch, Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady and Steven Molaro – to issue the proclamation. The entire proclamation, presented by Pasadena Councilmember Andy Wilson, reads as follows:
PROCLAMATION
Whereas Warner Bros. Television’s The Big Bang Theory premiered on the CBS Television Network on September 24, 2007, and during its subsequent 200 episodes has featured its main characters living in Pasadena, working as Caltech scientists and even popularizing the “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock” game; and
Whereas the series, now airing in its ninth season, is currently the number one comedy on television, thereby drawing national, international (and even perhaps intergalactic) attention to the City of Pasadena; and
Whereas the talented cast, producers and crew of The Big Bang Theory – including co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, showrunner Steven Molaro, and series stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch – have portrayed the City of Pasadena as not only a city of advanced education and pop culture sophistication but also home to the occasional unexpected “Bazinga!” to countless viewers worldwide;
Now, Therefore I, Terry Tornek, Mayor of Pasadena, on behalf of the City Council, do hereby congratulate and commend the cast, producers and crew of The Big Bang Theory, and proclaim February 25, 2016, in the City of Pasadena as The Big Bang Theory Day.

Toy Fair 2016: Wonderhood
By Steven Biscotti
This past week was the four day trade show known as Toy Fair. Taking place in New York City, countless companies from Diamond Select Toys to Dark Horse converge upon the Javits Center. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of movie licenses, major product reveals, and the enthusiasm for seeing products that no one else will get to see until it hits store shelves. However, it’s rather simple that during the four day marathon of appointment after appointment, that one could easily overlook some of the more sincere of companies; the ones working at creating something innovative, challenging, and worth while. During our second day at Toy Fair, I made an effort to check out more of the show floor
and I visited New York based company, Wonderhood Toys.
Wonderhood Toys, centering on the main theme of “empower young girls [ages 4 to 10] to be the architects of their own futures”, and founded by Solange Schipani and Andrea Hollander, was started out of a desire to “create something new and unique.” Schipani and Hollander were both on hand at Toy Fair and proudly showcased their Wonderhood Main Street Maker (TM), including the Grand Hotel and Corner Shops. With a hope to create a new toy, geared towards girls, Schipani and Hollander are aiming to help inspire young girls (and boys) to build “possibilities.”
Wonderhood Toys’ Main Street Maker, due out in the Third Quarter of 2016, are really quite the exciting toys. It’s hard to even consider them toys as it feels as if the word toy, as defined by today’s standards, is just below the quality of what Solange Schipani and Andrea Hollander have created. The Main Street Maker is a building set based on 24 dual-sided, 5 inch square design panels, with 30 connectors to help engineer a 4-story “complex structure.” While children can build Main Street’s Grand Hotel and Corner Shops as they see depicted on the product packaging, it is Schipani’s hope to see children inspired to imagine, design, and construct buildings of their own design.
Interestingly, unlike building sets like Lego, Mega Blocks, and the like, Wonderhood Toys’ Main Street Maker also comes with an activity journal which “poses design challenges” and introduces the characters of Chelsea, Erik, and Emmie. Chelsea is “a budding architect” and Emmie is “an aspiring food scientist.” Schipani helped create the idea and the base line of the Main Street story and characters, along with a talented group that helped flesh out the world they have built for their toy line. Each figure comes with the building set and there are ideas of adding more characters and square design panels to help build more of an interactive world.
Considered “two moms on a mission”, Wonderhood Toys is the company to watch. As much as I love super hero figures and comic book collectibles, seeing actual toys on the market that are trying to inspire imaginations and foster creativity at an age that is so easily shaped by what’s force fed through media, it’s very exciting to see what Solange Schipani and Andrea Hollander are up to. Helping build “STEM” skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math”), Wonderhood far exceeds the cookie cutter approach to most figures and toys we now see at nearly every Target, Toys R’ Us, and “mom and pop” shop.

Wonderhood is currently taking orders on their Grand Hotel (MSRP $64.99, SKU #MSM001) & Corner Shops (MSRP $34.99, SKU #MSM002)
