Leonard confesses his love to Penny, but Penny is not sure about her feelings, which breaks Leonard's heart and the couple breaks up.

Chuck Lorre Productions and Warner Bros. Television produced The Big Bang Theory, which was streamed live for viewers. Seven Emmy Awards and 46 nominations have been awarded to the series. From 2011 to 2014, it was nominated consecutively for an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Leonard and Penny broke up in episode 19, “The Wheaton Recurrence,” of season 3 of the sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. While spending the night together, Leonard told Penny he loved her, to which Penny replied, "Thank you." Leonard asked Penny the following day when they were away bowling, "Why didn't you say I love you back?" Penny became enraged and replied, "You are not going to pick when I will say I love you."

As Will Wheaton was telling her about his dating experience as they were both seated next to each other, Penny came to the conclusion that it was too soon and too much for her and Leonard, so she broke up with Leonard.
