Topless beach?

Only for the version scheduled for release in the foreign territories. Not for broadcast in the US. Sorry. And it's in French with English subtitles. Quelle dommage. LOL. (As likely as topless Amy )

I knew being French would pay off some day. At last, the day has come !

[Chrismo]

Since when?

I've never seen this many Lenny people on this forum LOL

 

  We're taking over! ha!

[phantagrae]

I can't remember another instance of both of them not getting story or teleplay credit. Is this the first time.

 

I just took a quick look back on my list--

 

1x5 The Hamburger Postulate: Jennifer Glickman / Dave Goetsch, Steven Molaro

1x6 The Middle Earth Paradigm: Dave Goetsch / David Litt, Robert Cohen

1x7 The Grasshopper Experiment: Dave Goetsch, Steven Molaro / Lee Aronshon, Robert Cohen

1x12 The Jerusalem Duality: Jennifer Glickman, Stephen Engel / Dave Goetsch, Steven Molaro

 

2x3 The Barbarian Sublimation: Nicole Lorre / Steven Molaro, Eric Kaplan

2x6 The Cooper-Nowitski Theorem: Stephen Engle, Daley Haggar / Tim Doyle, Richard Rosenstock

2x9 The White Asparagus Triangulation: Dave Goetsch, Steven Molaro / Stephen Engel, Richard Rosenstock

2x19 The Dead Hooker Juxtaposition: Steven Molaro / Steven Molaro

2x20 The Hofstadter Isotope: David Goetsch / David Goetsch

2x21 The Vegas Renormalization: Jessica Ambrosetti, Nicole Lorre, Andrew Roth / Steven Molaro

2x23 The Monopolar Expedition: Eric Kaplan, Richard Rosenstock / Eric Kaplan, Richard Rosenstock

 

3x1 The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation: Steven Molaro / Steven Molaro

3x2 The Jiminy Conjecture: Jim Reynolds / Jim Reynolds

3x4 The Pirate Solution: Steve Holland / Steve Holland

 

 

So, Chuck and/or Bill have been involved in every script on either Story or Teleplay since 3x5, until now, but in the early seasons there were 14 scripts on which they have no credit.

 

The folks who have credits on this new script, Goetsch, Kaplan, Holland and Molaro, Reynolds and Ferrari, have each worked on scripts without Lorre/Prady, except for Maria Ferrari.

Steve Holland, Jim Reynolds, David Goetsch, Steve Holland and Steven Molaro have each had solo scripts and Eric Kaplan has done story/teleplay with Richard Rosenstock on one script.

I'm impressed that you have a list.

[Moonbase]

I read that Chuck and Bill get a credit even of they are not involved directly in the writing of either because it's in the contract. They are the creators this is how is works.

Not to mention they get paid for having their credit on a script. A way to give someone a little extra money without having to change their contract.  The reason you see so many actors names as 'producer' or 'executive producer' they can pay them extra without busting their contract. It also makes them money in the long run because they collect money as 'actors' and 'producers' when the show goes into syndication or DVD/video. As an example on 'Mad About You' Paul Reiser was Paid as Creator, Executive Producer, and Actor for every show they made.

There are shed loads of writers involved in this show so after they get to this level of success, they have the power to put their feet and have others do the bulk of it. They still get the paycheck.

Well, they are Creators/Exec Producers, so they get paid for the work they do as producers, certainly, but they don't get writing credit if they didn't actually write a script.

 

We were not talking about pay/credit, but simply about whether or not there was a script that had no writing credit from either Chuck or Bill.

Once I was helping my sister hang some pictures at my mother's house and I was pretty meticulous about spacing them evenly, etc., which turned out to work very nicely.  So my sister says, "Make your neuroses work for you!"

A motto I live by!

One pipe in the bathroom not perfectly vertical, can I drain the system to replace it no! Sheldonesque twitch starting.

She avoids spoilers like the plague, cliffhangers not allowed, I have to check to see if an episode is "To be continued" and get both before she will watch.

Back to the writers, I am usually happy that Chuck Lorre hasn't been involved, he's the one that throws L/P under a bus on a whim.

I'm sure Chuck Lorre is pro Lenny or was that Maloro? I was watching Big Bang Theory before and noticed something haven't noticed before, every single interaction between Sheldon and Penny was due to a series of events. Like how when Leonard couldent drive Sheldon to the university so Penny had to take him in the morning she loved that lol, the Shenny hug, due to Penny getting everyone presents and Sheldon's thing about the gift convention, and the moment between Lenny the scene before, and the way Penny looks at Leonard when Sheldon hugs her. When Penny in S4 went through some improv lessons with Sheldon due to im sucking at talking in front of people lol. Not that I am saying their friendship is a conincidence lol I'm not cruel, just that from a writers POV it is interesting how the writers write these scenes. Most people would agree Penny has made it clear time after time even inadvertantly that she doesen't even have an intrinsic desire to see Sheldon in a romantic light, so where this idea comes from? I'll never know. Okay I don't know why I am bringing this up this had absoloutely nothing to do with your post my bad.

[Zhalen565]

Molaro is L/P supporter, Lorre broke them up ( came as a surprise to everyone), then threw in the season 4 finale.

Yeah but I am glad Lorre broke them up it was a needed change for Penny to grow up and not to take Leonard for granted, and for Leonard to mature in is own way too, it was all for the best now Lenny is at its strongest its ever been. But yeah the S4 finalie I think Lorre put Penny under a bus not Leonard, as that finalie had nothing to do with Lenny reunion in 100th ep in S5, but the writers are not perfect, they seem to be on the right track now.

While I agree with your reasoning, it doesn't mean I like it.
