If you're anything like us, you've also gone Bit Bang Theory mad and love nothing more than to sit down with a hot cuppa, and enter the weird and wonderful world of Sheldon, Leonard and the gang. Each episode typically shows us a little more into the lives of the geeks we all love and shows us that... probably worryingly, there is a little bit of each character in all of us.

Now for those of you who are regulars to the TruffleShuffle experience, you might have noticed our ever-growing range of amazing Big Bang Theory merchandise which includes everything from T-Shirts, Mugs, Dressing gowns, jumpers and more. Well, to celebrate this TV passion of our and to give you guys a little insight into the show and the people behind it, check out some cool Big Band Theory #DidYouKnows.

1) Sheldon's "Soft Kitty" lullaby is a real song

Executive producer Bill Prady revealed it's a real song that came to light because of his daughter.

"It's from my daughter's preschool in Sherman Oaks," said Prady. "It was from Australia and one of the teachers heard it there."

Everyone loves a good reunion right?! With so many TV Shows and live performances popping up all over the country including the likes of 5ive, Bewitched, and who can forget The Spice Girls during the London Olympics Opening Ceremony, however weird but impressive that might have been.

Well! It seems that the fever has spread and has sparked the amazing reunion of some of the cast member from cult TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. That's right, Carton (Alfonso), Jazz (Jeffrey A. Townes), and of course Will Smith (ermm Will Smith) were seen on their way to an evening out together looking not a huge amount like their former selves it must be said....except Will who will always be cool in our eyes.

Looking dapper guys! Long gone are the epic 80s-90s loud threads that we all grew up with. What were we thinking?!

Not only that! The amazing retro duo also took to the small screen once more, and in amazing style in Graham Nortons Friday night show. Will Smith gave an amazing performance with his film star son Jaden (AKA The Karate Kid 2010 AND upcoming After Earth film star) and were later joined by Frish Prince star Carlton Banks played by Alfonso Ribeiro who threw some classic shapes from the show. Take a peep....

Happy 61st Birthday FOOOL!

That's right folks, it's the A-Team/Rocky legend Laurence Tureaud's big day so we thought we would take the time to show our love for this retro 80s icon we've know and loved for as long as we can remember.

In 1980, Mr. T was spotted by Sylvester Stallone while taking part in NBC's "America's Toughest Bouncer" competition. Although his role in Rocky III was originally intended as just a few lines, Mr. T was eventually cast as Clubber Langwho we all love to hate.

In The A-Team, he played Sergeant Bosco "B.A." Baracus, an ex-Army commando on the run with three other members from the United States government "for a crime they didn't commit." As well as the team's tough guy, B.A. was a genius mechanic but afraid of flying (I ain't gettin on no plaaaine!). When asked at a press conference whether he was as stupid as B.A. Baracus, Mr. T observed quietly, "It takes a smart guy to play dumb."

He has also been a professional wrestler, pop star with his single 'Treat Your Mother Right' and these days is well know for is clip show World's Craziest Fools. Check out his amazing rap track below..

Hi peeps!

Just when you thought we had covered almost everything retro inspired idea on our little corner of cyberspace, POW! here we are with yet another look back at the great and good from the 80s, a retro reminisce if you wish.

With Father's Day fast approaching (16th June), we thought we would take some time to look back and pick out some of our all-time favourite Dads either from the small or big screen.  Some quirky, some strict, som...well...different in their own way let's say but we love them all the same.

George McFly

Somewhat of a timid and shy character at first, George is Marty McFly's Dad from Back to the Future 1-3. For those who have yet to see these classic...what are you thinking?? but anyway....George is portrayed as weak and the main target of Biff Tannen's bullying. He later, thanks to some help from his son Marty, musters up some courage and get what he wants and ends up with the girl. A lovable guy, George is a great part of the film series.

Wayne Szalinski

If you haven't recognised him already, it's the Dad from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The classic tale where this wacky scientist accidently shrinks his two kids and two others the the size of insects...as you do. As you can imagine, being that small is a scary place and the tale follows the kids journey of survival while they encounter ants, sprinklers, cerial and more. Okay okay, so maybe it's not the best parenting you will ever see, but this zany guys is so lovable and you have got to admire his passion and creativity huh.

First aired in 1989 - Baywatch was one of the coolest shows on TV! Today marks the anniversary of the last ever show back in 2001. David Hasslehoff and Pamela Anderson running round wearing very little was probably the main highlight..but putting aside the tiny bikinis, and the even tinier speedos, it was also full of action packed story lines that seemed to keep us all entertained as we were growing up. Everything from earthquakes, shark attacks - serial killers, nuclear bombs....every now and again someone would nearly drown too - just a minor theme in the show!

As we are wise owls when it comes to retro trivia - we're going to fill you in on some exciting facts relating to Baywatch!

* We sell AMAZING Baywatch T-shirts (and some pretty cool Baywatch costumes!).

* Baywatch is the brainchild of producer Gregory J. Bonann. He was a lifeguard who often worked with Michael Newman and came up with the series idea about lifeguards based on his experiences.

* Gregory pitched the idea around Hollywood for years without success until his sister married TV writer Douglas Schwartz. Douglas later teamed with Michael Berk and sold Gregory's idea to NBC.

* At its peak in the mid-90s, Baywatch was seen by over 1 billion viewers, was shown in over 144 countries in 23 different languages.

* The show drew more female viewers than male. Statistics showed that female viewership was at a dominating 65 percent!
