BURBANK, Calif. — Hugs and tears marked the final taping of “The Big Bang Theory,” a lovefest for its stars, crew and audience alike.

The studio audience cheered Jim Parsons and other stars of the top-rated TV comedy as they wrapped taping Tuesday on the last episode, No. 279.

An emotional Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny, said the show has touched “so many hearts.”

Johnny Galecki, who plays Leonard, called the show’s 12-season run “a dream come true for all of us.”
