Yep , for me too. And they spent seasons developing his character growth ( and he has shown some growth ) but he had his epiphany because yet again someone had to point it out to him that he had messed up and had been a jerk. To me , the real growth would have been him , on his own , realising he had hurt his friends.

We can only hope. At least she's getting the recognition of her talents as an actress. She's not just a pretty face anymore.

kaleycuoco: 💖What an honor to be recognized alongside my amazing cast and crew @flightattendantonmax by @sagawards !

I’m truly humbled by this experience... my pink moment courtesy of @prabalgurung @louboutinworld @messikajewelry 💗 thank you dream team!! @bradgoreski @daniela_viviana @jamiemakeup @clarissanya 💕

Happy Birthday @Tonstar17. I hope you have many more to come!

I just thought you were upset, because you keep saying you’re moving on, or are done, but keep answering. Lorre had previously decided the show would end, ( and this wasn’t through the grapevine, it was actual quotes) if either Kaley, Jim, or Johnny left. Jim decided to leave, triggering that decision. Is there something wrong with Jim deciding to leave? Nope. But, there no denying it was his decision to leave, that brought the show to an end. If Johnny or Kaley had decided to leave, that would have triggered the end of the show.

In no way do I fault JP for wanting to move on with his career. He wants to pursue other projects and opportunities and I hope he finds success and fulfillment in all of them. That does not mean I cannot simultaneously attribute the ending of TBBT to his decision not to continue. There is no ambiguity involved. Chuck Lorre, (and the rest of the cast), were prepared to do a season 13 until JP announced he would not return. Not only did that end the show. It put a lot of people out of work. No doubt many of the production staff found other jobs. No doubt some of them did not. This is a dilemma f

I realize that you are a JP fan and you feel the need to defend him but I do not blame him for TBBT demise. Though there are many people who do. And we do not know what conversations went on with the cast and Jim. Before Chuck Lorre pulled the plug it seemed everyone involved wanted to continue with at least one more season. But the original point I was making was the writers focused so much on the SheldonShamy storyline that I believe the other cast members were sacrificed and their storylines were rushed into season 12 to gain closure.

Not quite sure who it was. Could have been all of them, or they just thought it funny. Sheldon was shamed for not trying to get laid, which is a form of reverse slut shaming.

Of course we think that they'll grow old together an be happy for the rest of their lives. At least we don't have those writers trying to tell us differently.

Channing Dungey, the new Chairman of Warner Bros. Television Group, is to sit down with The Flight Attendant‘s Kaley Cuoco and Greg Berlanti at this year’s Banff World Media Festival. It marks one of the first major public appearances since Dungey took over running television at the Hollywood studio. She will sit down on June 18 with the team behind the hit HBO Max show, which was renewed for a second season, for an In Conversation With session during the virtual event, which runs June 14 – July 16. The trio will discuss the drama, which stars and is exec produced by The Big Ban

That's my observation too, based on what I see on social media and the internet in general.

She sure knows how to be elegant, even in losing. However, I have heard some rumblings she may be up for an Emmy which might give her another shot.

I'm not sure there are any popularity rankings for the character. Sheldon, (in his multiple iterations), has been popular with a lot of fans. He's also widely disliked by more than a few fans. The same can be said for most of the main cast; Penny included. Thanks to the show's writing there were many times Penny got put into a bad light and that certainly affected her popularity with certain fans. The unreasonable break-up with Leonard and the failed hookup with Raj are just a few of the examples of Penny being put into unlikeable situations. However, unlike Sheldon who was forever polarizing,

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday.

They are cute at that age.

From TV Line Young Sheldon Gets 3-Season Renewal This calls for a celebratory helping of spaghetti and cut-up hotdogs: CBS has picked up Young Sheldon for not one, not two, but three more seasons. The supersized renewal guarantees the Big Bang Theory prequel will run at least seven seasons, through 2024. <full article in the link>

I have seen a few of those stories from Kaley citing her excitement to do a reunion show, however, I have to admit I don't know if they were all from the same interview. But my point was I would love to see a reunion show and although there was closure for some there still were issues that were left unanswered, unexplained, and unresolved. But I do not believe all these issues can be answered in presumably a one-hour reunion show. But it is nice to think about.

While I do not fault JP for wanting to move on with his career, TBBT effectively died the minute he announced he would not do another season. So, in that respect, I do blame Jim. For Chuck Lorre to say there were no more stories to be told is short sighted. A good writing team could have brought some good material for the other characters and told some entertaining stories. Would those stories have been embraced by TBBT fans? I don't know. Fact is a lot of the fans were not exactly enamored with the last several seasons so it is definitely uncertain what reception a Sheldonless TBBT would have

LOVE LOVE LOVE Kaley in "The Flight Attendant". ❤️ Too bad she and the crew didn't win any awards.

When you're right, you're definitely right!

I see the wild card regarding Penny as being Chuck Lorre. Penny as seen during the 12 year run of TBBT was much different than originally envisioned by Mr. Lorre. If Chuck had his way, the Penny character would probably have been more akin to a female Charlie Harper. This was evidenced in the original, (rejected), pilot. Fortunately, the character was reworked and recast. My personal perspective is that any time Penny did something that made her a questionable character it was due to some Chuck Lorre influence.

Agreed!

Yeah , there were times they really took the snark too far. And I'm with you regarding Sheldon. Unpopular opinion but his Nobel speech didn't do much for me, as nice as it was.

The writers didn't seem to know how to write for her character. They couldn't decide if she should be snarky towards her husband or supportive. As for Sheldon, he definitely wasn't my favorite character.

From what I read in the various Facebook groups I joined ( not sure if it's really representative though) , Penny is the most liked character right after Sheldon who seems to be the favourite. I believe his Nobel speech redeemed the character ( not in my eyes but that's besides the point) . The main criticism I see regualarly regardind Penny is " she was nice at the start and ended up being a mean b*tch"

As with @HeWolf's post, I completely agree. I couldn't have stated it any better!

I have to agree with you in this regard. Penny was put in a bad light several times besides the ones you mentioned: dating Stuart, using Leonard for sex and then saying it was a mistake, and when Raj lived with them the total indifference to Leonard's feelings. Despite all this I think Penny was a popular character especially with male viewers which I believe were the producers intentions in the early episodes. And as you state Penny was more human and endearing to fans in marrying Leonard unlike Sheldon who had his realization in the finale of the show.

Yeah, but she's happy to be nominated. She looks beautiful in that pink gown.

Yeah, this is false. I've been to two tapings and there weren't any cue cards in sight. All the actors have mentioned having, at times, their scripts handy, (or Jim having all his note cards in his pocket) like under cushions, behind cushions, in drawers, in refrigerators or stoves, behind different pieces of furniture, etc. to use in between takes. But, there aren't any cue cards.

Yes, Happy Easter to all. I almost forgot about Easter being so close!

Season 4, Episode 12 - A Box of Treasure and the Meemaw of Science Airs April 1, 2021 at 8:00/7:00c on CBS Sheldon, Dr. Linkletter and Meemaw team up on a science experiment.

Hi guys, I am a final year film and media student and I am currently doing a module on Audiences and Fandom, and I have chosen to do it about The Big Bang Theory! I would really appreciate if you would be so kind as to fill out my questionnaire for my degree? It shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to complete. Many thanks in advance. https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/KCVQC2/

I've put my two penn'orth in.

Done. Hope it helps.

The Benefactor Factor (4 x 15). Johnny was nominated for an Emmy for this episode.

Happy 90th Birthday to William Shatner...

From Deadline Hollywood Truman Capote & Tennessee Williams Doc Voiced By Jim Parsons & Zachary Quinto Gets North America Deal Kino Lorber has acquired North American rights to Lisa Immordino Vreeland’s well-received documentary Truman and Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation. The film charts the personal and professional journeys of iconic American artists and writers Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams. Vreeland explores their loves, fears, artistic achievements, friendship and sexualities through archival materials and film clips. Voiceover comes from actors Jim Parso

Sorry, it was not a response. If Lorre had made the decision to end the show, after Jim made his decision, that would be a response. However, Lorre had made it clear, before hand, that if any of Jim, Johnny, or Kaley left the show, the show would end. So, Jim was well aware by leaving the show, the show would end. jim certainly had valid personal reasons for leaving, and no one can begrudge him that. But, that doesn’t change the fact that he knew if he left, that would trigger the end of the show.

Effectively, yes, it was. Chuck had already told the cast the show would end if any of Jim, Kaley, or Johnny had decided to leave. I can't comment about anyone else, but I would think it would have continued if any of the others had decided to leave, with the possible exception of Mayim. Jim knew that his leaving would cause the show to end. That said, I don't begrudge Jim the decision to leave. Twelve years is a long time to run the same character. As to whether all the stories had been told, Jim wasn't a writer on the show. He has said many time that he couldn't come up with th

Remember this guy? Sheldon's former roommate (Die Sheldon Die!) in the flashback in The Staircase Implementation" (3 X 22) Steve Yeun...he was nominated for an Oscar this morning for his role in "Minari".

Kaley has another project in development, staring as Doris Day: https://www.thewrap.com/kaley-cuoco-to-play-doris-day-in-limited-series-in-the-works-at-warner-bros-tv/

The interesting thing, for me, is that the Doris Day estate, and the son of the book’s writer, are also involved. Meaning it’s got the official okay/dokay.

Her career is certainly blossoming and moving forward. Her talent is getting some well deserved recognition

Season 4, Episode 11 - A Pager, a Club and a Cranky Bag of Wrinkles Airs March 11, 2021 at 8:00/7:00c on CBS Dr. Linkletter (Ed Begley, Jr.) pushes Sheldon to make friends with his fellow students at college. Also, Georgie gets a pager. Reba McEntire, Ed Begley, Jr. and Craig T. Nelson guest star.

Agreed! Maybe they can do a flash back of when Penny told Leonard that she was pregnant since we were robbed of that special moment.
