Tonstar17 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 There have been NO pay cuts. There has been a reallocation of money. And that was voluntarily by the Top 5 cast so that Mayim and Melissa could get a better (deserved) raise. As for Penny being a surrogate for Amy, she doesn't want to have kids (YET) because it will ruin her body. If she is not ready to do it for herself (and Leonard), she's not going to do it for Sheldon and Amy.Totally disagree how much times has tptb made penny bend over for sheldon. Let's see how it will go. Lenny strongly says no. Then penny feel sorry for sheldon and persuade leonard.

Tensor Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 56 minutes ago, BigBang15 said: I don't think any of them will direct an episode especially if they're in it. TBBT is filmed before a live audience with a director in a control room, not like single camera shows. The director is on the floor (as are the producers and the writers) during the taping, they are not in a control room. 56 minutes ago, BigBang15 said: There have been NO pay cuts. There has been a reallocation of money. And that was voluntarily by the Top 5 cast so that Mayim and Melissa could get a better (deserved) raise. If someone is getting less pay than they did before, it's a pay cut. So, basically, the original five had to take a pay cut, because TPTB wouldn't provide the money to Mayim and Melissa, to get their pay raise. 56 minutes ago, BigBang15 said: As for Penny being a surrogate for Amy, she doesn't want to have kids (YET) because it will ruin her body. If she is not ready to do it for herself (and Leonard), she's not going to do it for Sheldon and Amy. This is the most cognizant reason for Penny to not be a surrogate.

I'm just saying that he has done what some people would consider heroic actions. True that they have been for Penny, but that still counts. The three encounters with Kurt can't be denied. Heroes don't do 'heroic' things for a payoff or their personal benefit or pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminous Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 49 minutes ago, hokie3457 said: I think it would be a little cold and perhaps a bit heartbreaking to ask a married woman to carry a child for someone else before she has had her own child. My own thoughts and opinions... Also, folks have been talking about Penny having her own plot/story line. Would any of us want to see that plot/story line be one tied to being pregnant with a child for another couple? If anything that plot line would be more about the other two people in this situation. A big NO from here for her being a surrogate. Also a big NO from here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either there wasn't money to give raises to Mayim or Melissa or the powers to be didn't think they deserved it. I don't disagree with you that they deserved it so obviously money wasn't available to pay them more. 35 minutes ago, Capt.

Is the showing making money? I could be wrong but I believe the show as I read is starting to creep to break even. The pay cuts are an example of that. 2. Do the actors want to do the show? From appearance and this is JMO the enthusiasm I don't think ratings will be the reason the show ends. I totally agree with this. 18 hours ago, Carlos said: I don't want to receive any hate posts from Shamy fans , but I must say that Kevin and Mayim look like a cute couple in this picture. All this , JMO. Yes, they do. They are obviously good friends. 12 hours ago, chucky said: Lenny has to fight for everything they get. I don't know what you mean. There is no evidence that the actors are upset by the time they are getting. If it was me I'd be thrilled to do so little work for such big bucks and have to much time left for other things. 19 hours ago, 3ku11 said: Shamy have sex once a year.

Leonard and the rest are clueless as well, but at a smaller degree than Sheldon. Leonard at least has Penny to help him understand things. Sheldon only has Amy and she can be as clueless as Sheldon at times. They didn't go thru with the donating of the sperm. Penny would not be a surrogate for Amy. His IQ is 187.

Carlos Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 18 hours ago, chucky said: The problem is that he doesn't even try to understand. He doesn't even listen when some one tries to explain it to him, even at times Amy. That's what makes him a conceited condescending jerk because he thinks he's always right and cares not if he hurts someone except Amy. I very slightly disagree: He clearly doesn't understand everything, but understands way more that he did at first. Now when he acts mean it is just him being an asshole. Also if you really think about it he sometimes is mean to Amy on purpose when it conflicts with something he wants for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
