good point, wonder when & if the contract stuff will be all settled today.....and from a reliable source...not some of the crazy media outlets.

Yes, we need that confirmation! We have a taping in two weeks!

although, aren't they still going to tape even if the contracts aren't signed?  They would just be retroactive from the start date?  I remember reading that somewhere on here a little while ago

yes, first taping is next Tuesday.  We're sked to go on 8/12.  Either way, just want everything good to go for the folks going on 8/5!!  I mean techincally the cast gets the scripts tonight, correct?  So I would imagine if they threatened to not show up, it would be known by now.  I don't know, I now have butterflies in my tummy...

I think I read somewhere that during the last negotiation period the contract wasn't signed until some time in September.  So, here's hoping, though, that it gets accepted very soon and there will be nothing holding them back from working on the rest of the season.

I can't see them not showing up even if the contract is still in limbo. Tbbt has made them and they all seem to love working on the show. They can retroactivate the pay raise so to me its a non issue and besides, none of the cast seems to be the type to pull a prima donna stunt like refusing to work. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

i think the loads of steamy fan fiction, jim's intsagram, and other things kept us devoted fans preoccupied and we just didn't notice the time fly by....;)

That does make me feel a little better, CaffeineBuzz. Thanks. :) I'm kind of hoping Jim might give us a little clue via his IG account too, like even if he just mentions "Off to the studio" or something. ;)

I agree!!!  Also, the fact that Kaley is back in town as of yesterday made me feel a little better too!!!

Same with Kunal, he tweeted that had just landed in LA but was flying over Boston when we had a tornado yesterday.

This man is perfection!

 

Isn't he, though?!

 

But he wouldn't be all sleepy and yawning if he wasn't getting up at the butt-crack of dawn. :p

 

I was speculating that his early mornings the last couple of days might be him kind of resetting his body clock now that work is starting again. :)

Um isn't the taping next week??

 

Yes. One week. Oh lord. I'm not ready for this.

In order to mentally prepare yourselves for next week, my fellow shamy-philes, I invite you to remember the hope you felt in your heart last year as we waited for the first taping report after what was surely to be a good summer for Shamy what with Leonard gone to the North Sea. We read the report only to find that the writers had deemed it more important that Sheldon become more dependent on Penny for all his needs. He made no progress with Amy. Except there was a rumor about hugs. We didn't see that. Then we barely saw Shamy together until the 4th episode of the season.

 

This may not be as bad as that, because at least this year. I am prepared for the Shamy season opener to be a complete shit sandwich. Both episodes. If anything even mildly good happens for Amy in either episode, on any level, that makes her a little happy, my expectations will be wildly exceeded. 

 

But still, hope lives, I'm still hoping it's going to be awesome.... but I the start of the season really disappointed me last year and it set the tone for the whole first half of the season and elements of the entire season.

I guess in some ways it's good to go into this with lower expectations, because we don't have any clue what the writers will do, and how often do they fulfill our fangirl dreams? And I remember how so many of us were so excited for the finale only to have a meltdown when we read the taping reports. Yet I definitely have hope and a good outlook on Shamy overall. And hopefully they will pleasantly surprise us.
