Copy / Paste Material As per Terms of Use, all material submitted unless otherwise noted must be the contributor's own content, and stated in their own words. If the bulk of at least one sentence can be found on another site using a search engine, the submission will be rejected. You should provide a specific source for all material.

    She is the reason why i keep on watching the big bang theory! hide show

    Seriously, although the show itself is such a fun show to watch, I usually watch TBT over and over just because of kaley. She's so pretty and can sometimes be very funny as Penny. After reading the latest news that the show is up for 3 more seasons, me and my sister who is also a huge fan of her jumped for joy! Yey! We'll get to see Penny for three more years! Best news of 2011! I really hope she and Leonard gets together again. They look good together. After watching her in The Big Bang Theory, me and my sis immediately searched for her movies and other tv shows and we had a blast watching her over and over playing different roles.

    Kaley Cuoco is a famous actress who has ben in the acting industry for most of her life! hide show

    The first thing that I ever saw Kaley Cuoco in was 8 Simple Rules. I started to watch this when a few years ago and find it a very good comedy. I didn't realise that Kaley had been in a lot of other things I had watched until about a year later.

    'Brandy And Mr. Whiskers' is something I used to watch when I got bored and soon noticed that I had heard the voice from somewhere. I looked at the credits and saw her name and realised that I knew who she was.

    In season 8 of Charmed I saw her and realised that she was just about everywhere. I really loved her character in Charmed and thought that she was extremely good as that character.

    Just a few months ago I was flicking through channels and saw 'The Big Bang Theory' I saw Kaley Cuoco and knew exactly who she was, so I decided to keep on watching and I have found out that 'The Big Bang Theory' is an amazing TV programme and one of my new best friends!

    Kaley is such a great rising star hide show

    Kaley Cuoco has emerged as a child actor to such an amazing and talented actress. Kaley has always blown me away in every performance she has done. I was pleased to find out that she joined charmed which is one of my favourite tv shows. Kaley gave the show that little bit of spice that was needed. i wish that Kaley will keep giving her presence on screen as she is too good at what she does to not be offered roles that she well and truly deserves. i have not got one thing bad to say about Kaley she is just one of the best out there.
