Jim Parsons Says It's 'The Right Time' For His 'Big Bang Theory' Character To Have Sex

Sheldon Cooper's dry spell is almost over. The geeky hero of  CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" -- the most-watched show on television  -- will finally have sex with Amy, his girlfriend of five years. And Jim Parsons, the actor who plays Sheldon, says that this "big bang" is coming at the perfect moment. 

"I was very surprised," Parsons told Entertainment Tonight. "But then I read it, and it seemed absolutely the right time."
