Stuart Fails To Save The Universe is not The Big Bang Theory, and that'll be apparent enough in the opening minutes of Episode 1. Beyond the switch from traditional sitcom to serialized multi-camera exploits, those who watch can expect occasional violence, swearing, and even some R-Rated humor they would've never heard on the acclaimed CBS series. It may not be embraced by everyone, but Chuck Lorre and his fellow co-creators explained why they had to make this new show more edgy than the previous series.
