Yeah,  I read about this possibility. I doubt any of the original cast will return. Probably cameos or guest appearances. As Jim said, "Never say never ".

I would think and hope they will have a reunion show more on the lines that Friends had.  More like a roundtable discussion than an actual scripted show talking about their behind the scene stories much like in the book.

That'd be nice. I'd still like a scripted episode where they showed what happened a few years after the show ended. Maybe we'd find out how the kids are doing what happened with their careers. Never say never. 😊

Seems like a good idea - I'd like to see what happens next.

I agree. As I said "Never say never ".

What do we think the new show will be? 

- "Young Amy" would be amazing!

- How about a futuristic thing where we see the grandkids flying cars?

Sorry,  but in my opinion "Young Amy" would be boring. I think it should be centered around the kids after they grow up. Then Johnny,  Kaley,  Jim and the rest could make cameo appearances.

Think the prevailing opinion is it will be about Stuart and the comic book store with possibly Denise also appearing. And like you suggest Johnny, Kaley, Jim and the rest of them could make cameo appearances.

I don't think it would be about Stuart. That would be boring as well. At best, he was a supporting cast member. I see maybe 3 or 4 episodes before they run out of stories. I still see it being a show about the children of the couples. According to the article I read, none of the cast wanted or had time for a new series right now. A reunion show would be doable, I believe. That's why I see main cast of TBBT making cameos. That would also be doable, in my humble opinion.

You could be right. When I was writing that about Stuart I was thinking is Stuart/Kevin able to sustain a show as the lead character. Kevin has only played supporting characters in his career.

I don't think he can sustain a show either. I mean he owns a comic book store. There's not too many storylines there.

Please no to the comic book store. 

Maybe it will be based round other geeks at the university.  Geologists?  Biologists?  Engineers?

That wouldn't work as well as they won't have a connection to TBBT Show. I think it'll based  on Padawans.

Could it possibly about Raj (Kunal Nayyar)  He seems to be the only one of the cast that isn't doing something long term.

Personally, I  don't think he could sustain a series alone either. Raj really was boring without the other cast members. He needed another cast member to carry a scene. Johnny, Kaley, Jim, Melissa and Mayim are busy with family and other projects. I assume Simon is as well. So maybe a series with Kanal and Kevin with the other cast members making cameo appearances would work. 😊

I was thinking about this last night.  The Friends spin-off was Joey because he was the only one single at the end. 

What if it's Raj, back in India?  Some sort of Bollywood thing???

Raj without Howard, Leonard or Sheldon is boring. As I have said, Stuart would work.

The article reports that, "Chuck Lorre is “developing a new comedy series derived from The Big Bang Theory."

I don't see any of the less than fully employed TBBT main cast as viable candidates to carry a show centered on their character. A possible scenario could be altogether new characters operating in the same Cal-Tech centered environment. That would allow for cameos from some of the original cast, (Stuart, Burt, Kripke, etc.) without requiring the presence of the 6 main cast. Several of which would have limited availability due to other projects while others have fairly strongly established that they have little interest in returning to their characters in performance mode. That pretty much eliminates Jim, Mayim, and Melissa. Johnny is less than enthusiastic about reprising Leonard. Howard is half of Howardette and Bernadette is out. Kunal may be willing to give it a go but Raj just isn't that compelling on his own.

Agreed. Although Raj and Stuart might work with cameos from the main cast. Kaley, Johnny and Simon may agree to cameos due to them not being time consuming. Who knows,  we'll see.
