The Big Bang Theory

[jeffro151]

This show wouldn't be what it is without the cast. The producers/directors and CBS need to quit being so greedy and share the profits with those that deserve it, especially Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco.

Seinfeld turned down $5M an episode.

Reality TV sucks but it's easy to see why networks go with them over these big budget sitcoms.

that was an idiotic decision on his part......... that is unheard of money for a 30 min. sitcom........ and if I remember right, the rest of the cast wanted to keep going with the show.......... no?

Google puts his net worth at $820,000,000.00 so I think it worked out OK for him.

BBT is 10X the show that seinfeld was. If it wasn't for Kramer that show would have been done many seasons earlier.

The cast of Big Bang Theory is worth every Penny. No pun intended.

Report: Big Bang Stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco Ink New $90 Million Deals

After protracted negotiations that pushed back the show’s Season 8 start date until Wednesday, the trio have agreed to new three-year contracts worth $1 million an episode, per Deadline. (That’s up from the $300K-an-episode they had been earning.) When all the perks are factored in — including signing bonuses and back-end fees — the actors will likely pocket north of $90 million over the three years.

With Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco on board, and co-stars Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik already signed, all eyes turn to Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar (who are currently fetching $125 and $75K per episode, respectively). The pair remain in active talks are are expected to close new pacts today or, at the latest, tomorrow.

I just keep reading this little line and imagining what I would do to have $90 million in 3 years.

90. Million. Dollars.

This show really isn't that funny at all anymore. It used to be hilarious, but it feels like they are trying to hard, and failing terribly.

 

[PatsFan2003]

Agreed. It's not at all what it used to be.

Only reason I watched was because of Penny. As she's aged the show has become less and less appealing. Now that she's cut her hair the show is unwatchable.

and the same one-liners are falling flat as a pancake. But I guess they will drag the show out as long as they can get a few bucks off it, justs like Two and a Half Men which mercifully is done in 2 more episodes.

Comedy is a tough vehicle to write, and even more difficult to keep consistently funny at time goes on. Shows like "All in the Family" and "Two and a Half Men" come to mind. It's the natural ebb and flow. Gets stale after awhile and folks need to know when to walk away and not let the flag get dragged through the mud.

 

[Payton]

Seinfeld is another that comes to mind... At some point the "clever" writing and plots became caricatures of themselves and didn't work anymore....

This... Although I did think it was a funny show. Kept me entertained but I haven't watched any of the newer stuff. Also I never watched all the episodes, nor did I watch them in order. I would just tune in when it was on, which is probably the best way to watch it. Doesn't seem to matter if you have watched anything prior to any given episode.

Another dumb show that shouldn't be on is Dancing With the Fucking Stars.

Bernadette is still watchable.

I think the Amy Farah Fowler character has been watered down too much. She used to be hilarious as a Sheldon "Brainiac" clone with lesbian tendencies towards Penny. The episode with the smoking monkey and her behaviorist advice to Sheldon in it was great.
