 The set was released in August 2015, with an exclusive pre-sale taking place at the San Diego Comic-Con International.Through the use of his vanity cards at the end of episodes, Lorre alleged that the program had been plagiarized by a show produced and aired in Belarus.Officially titled "Теоретики" ("The Theorists"), the show features "clones" of the main characters, a similar opening sequence, and what appears to be a very close Russian translation of the scripts.
