[quote]According to Deadline, the stars of the hit CBS series have agreed to hefty pay increases for the new season. Quoting unnamed sources, the publication reports that Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco have secured three-year deals for "$1 million per episode for the 72 episodes the show is slated to produce in Seasons 8-10."[/quote]
And you guys thought Kobe was overpaid.
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
If it's Seasons 8-10, then that's a 3-year contract, not 2.
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
That show is garbage.

Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
yeah TBBT is painfully bad. I tried a few times to give it a shot. I can't believe people watch that...
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
I used to be into it, until they started just recycling the same episode, essentially, over and over and over and over and over again.
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
While the world bitches and moans about what a shitty show it is...I just sit back and :applause: these people when they pull $1 million + per episode. What a racket.
Gosh, you are all so edgy. Friends was such a bad show, amirite u gais?
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
and the guy who plays Rick on the Walking Dead is only making 75k an episode :facepalm
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
Good for him, that's some serious money.
On another note, totally agree with others in the thread...I have never enjoyed a single minute of this show. I just don't find it funny at all...seriously. All the science jokes are so cheesy and over played. Oh well, they're obviously doing something right.
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
I never really watched it bc I didnt think itd be my kind of show but then I caught a couple reruns on syndication once when I was stayin at a motel where the wifi was out and I was pleasantly surprised. Got some legit chuckles out of it.
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
Seems like all of the older women I know (35+) loves the show. I don't personally like it but there is def a significant target audience.

Really? Wow...
Shame that these guys will make so much more, and it's not like TWD isn't a popular show...
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
Never seen a single episode of it. Not in the least interested to.

Friends was a very good show. Because it was...funny? :confusedshrug:
It's not edgy to say TBBT sucks. It just isn't funny...what do you want us to say? The jokes are just shake you head awful....
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
I like Big Bang, think it's hilarious.
Re: Jim Parsons signs 2-year $72 million contract
I watch the show and I like it... but the nerd jokes have definitely run stale.
I do like Sheldon though.
