Worked out fine. Besides the fact Leonard is responsible for his own actions, the incident inspired Penny to tell him she loved him.

Wow, this show is analyzed too much--seeing things that just aren't there

Maybe in honor of his birthday

I am not upset. It seems to me that no matter what, I am suppose to agree with you even when I don't. I would say you are the one upset because you can't seem to let this go. In my eyes CL decided the show will end, they could have tried to convince him to change his mind but he didn't. He had the final say. We can say we heard things thru the grapevine but we will never really know everything that was said.

I have no idea I wasn't there and you weren't either I am moving on and NO I don't agree with you

So what He did not want the show to end He just wanted to end his position

I haven't agreed, will not agree and will never agree It was CL's axe that made the final blow

I'll just chalk this up to the fact that I will never agree with you on this. It may well have been over before he even claimed his decision , etc...

I do not agree. Jim is responsible for Jim's actions, not CL's. It was not written in stone--it was not a law. The contracts had not even been written up, they were not even offered another season at the time of his decision.

He could not help what CL's response would be. He is not responsible for CL's responses

But all it comes down to is that he didn't want to continue starring in TBBT. It was Chuck Lorres' decision to end the show. It wasn't Jim Parsons that stated the show will now end. It strangely reminds me of someone saying, "You made me mad so I had to hit you, it's all your fault.' or along those lines...Someone justifying their action by putting the blame on someone else. And in YS he is not acting. He recites a few lines each show. He doesn't have to go in front of the camera to act the part of Sheldon. He had just started a production co. so initially he was going to produce a show based on his smart nephew when CL suggested it be a YS show. He never said he hated the Sheldon character plus, he can still pursue other roles, it's not taking all his time. Anyone in the show was making good money and if they wanted to they could have started their own production co. or pursue other roles ...etc.. I'm sure anyone who worked on TBBT is not now eating at their local soup kitchens.

I know you don't blame him for the show ending but I wanted to get straight the fact that he didn't end because 'there were no more Shamy stories' which is not at all true. I have listened to many interviews and he had tons of personal reasons for ending. And the cast hadn't even been offered another season. Sure--I guess Shamy was more prominent throughout the show but I wouldn't be too jealous, the stories weren't that great that did feature Shamy The writing was going downhill through the whole show. The fact that someone could actually blame him for leaving his job floors me. Do you really believe a person should keep playing a character and doing a full-time job they are no long invested in to please some fans that might think the show should continue? The actor is to sacrifice a year or two out of his life so that a show is seen for half an hour 20 or so times a year by viewers? Fans do not own an actor. And Young Sheldon is not TBBT

Believe me Everyone is blaming Jim

But, you can't blame him Maybe that was one of the reasons he wanted out. Like I said, if Chuck L hadn't pulled the plug you would have had it your way I just wanted to point out, he wasn't only concerned with the 'Shamy' stories. He said there were no more stories left for the 'whole ensemble'. Jim had no idea his character would win the Nobel in the last episode. He always treated the other actors as equals.-he never acted above them like the show was his

Yeah, sure if you don't mind them being crappy. Why proceed if the quality is low? So they can go out on a bad note?
