Big Bang Actors To Earn $1M Per Episode 442
Cludge (981852) writes with a snippet from the BBC: "And rich they will be: With The Big Bang Theory commissioned until 2017, the show's three biggest names, Jim Parsons (Sheldon), Johnny Galecki (Leonard) and Kaley Cuoco (Penny) are guaranteed to earn $72m (£42.6m) each over the next three seasons. Unsurprisingly, the cost of producing the sitcom has spiraled." I wonder what that works out per line?

That money a bunch of fake scientists received is fit for annual endowment of a decent university!

One comment I've read sums it all: "Arrested Development was a smart show about dumb people. BBT is a dumb show about smart people".

As a self professed nerd/geek, the "Nerd Blackface" doesn't offend me, and I certainly don't feel "persecuted" by it. But I can't stand it in a TV show, and so I pretty much stopped watching after half an episode. That, and after many modern examples of sitcoms and half hour comedy shows without laugh tracks, I absolutely cannot stand shows with laugh tracks anymore.

Sheldon is one disfiguring accident away from being a Batman villain.

Sheldon doesn't trust banks because he believes that ATM machines will be the first wave of the robot uprising.
