Johnny and Kaley are professional actors, but don't you think at some point they might have felt that they were being pushed to secondary status as Sheldon/Shamy were given the majority of the storylines. I know this is a moot point, but if they were to continue without  JP, would Johnny continue also with the rest of the cast? I believe he would have and not for any affection towards Kaley but not to disrupt the legacy of the show. Didn't Johnny and Kaley keep their romance a secret for that very reason and they did not want to entangle their lives with their characters. Although some will probably say with JP leaving doesn't that compromise TBBT legacy. I am sure it does but for a show to be successful it has to have viewers and ratings and I think it would have regardless who was in the cast or not.  This is just some Sunday morning ramblings of a retired person.

I believe that if he did revise his role as Leonard, it would have to be Lenny specific as he will not do a reboot of TBBT without Jim. But a Lenny spin off could be doable with possible cameos by Jim. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yes  It may be possible within 2-3 years depending on their projects they are involved in.

It'll have to be soon, 'cos Johnny ain't no spring chicken anymore. 😊

But, he was talking about doing TBBT without Jim. A Lenny spin off without Sheldon could be doable. The show would be about Lenny without Sheldon. Jim could do cameos from time to time like Laurie did.

I didn't take it that way. I took it as the big three together again or nothing.

Also, it's normal, from what they've said before, for the cast not all to keep in touch with one another during the summer as much as they used to.

This is not a normal summer though. I know they're busy but I thought they'd at least ask each how they are doing, what have they been doing, or tell Johnny that his baby reveal party was cute, or something. They know this time they are not getting back together in the fall, so it's not like a normal break.

None of them are. And I don't think dealing with a newborn or chasing a toddler will make Johnny look better over the next couple of years. Those first few years can be frazzling.

Well, I guess we see it differently. I see no reason for Sheldon/Jim to be in a Lenny Show except in cameo appearances.

As I see it, Johnny said Jim or nothing--basically. You could call it a spin off but it would still just be TBBT without Jim. I don't think Johnny would go for it.

And I think most people voted for a Lenny spin off because most people know it was JP who spoke up and said he no longer wanted to continue so-- why would he do a spin off? 

It's strange, but I did see an interview with JP and he mentioned they were still texting each other so they are still talking, maybe what Kaley meant was they have not seen each other.

It might not have sunk in that they weren't seeing one another until the time came for the first table read. I was imagining it would be for them like that first summer after leaving school. Intellectually you know your time with your classmates is over, but it doesn't fully register. Sometimes, what with the distractions of your new life, it might even be the second year when it hits home. I'd like to think they're all still friends and they keep in touch from time to time.

Interesting, but I still disagree with you!

Johnny did say on instagram that he was up for at least a couple of seasons on the Connors, so spinoffs aren't his problem, just this one apparently. But maybe it's just too soon.

I like Johnny and enjoy his acting, but I hope he doesn't waste his talents on that dramedy playing a sad loser surrounded by even sadder losers. The spirit of that ensemble was Roseanne. She shot her mouth off and got fired. That ship should have been allowed to sink with her.

Totally agreed.

[MsGreentea]

I don:t agree at all and don’t miss Roseanne at all.  But just to be accurate Johnny am very sure  said he would be in a couple of episodes/stories and never said or implied on Instagram that he would be around for a couple of seasons or be a regular.

I think what Kaley said in the interview is that it seems like a normal summer hiatus where they don't talk or see each other unless it is for something specific: press tour, endorsements, etc.  Although, I believe Johnny and Kaley were together with her sister just last week for a fundraising event that Johnny sponsored.

True. At least they have kept in touch!

I don't think he knows what he's doing with that yet. There have been conflicting statements. I don't think they've hashed out what kind of recurring we're talking about. He’s going to be more of a "regular" on The Conners, according to E! News Online.  He's going to be there on a recurring basis "as much as possible" according to what he said on tvline. (Link below) So who knows at this point. Maybe no one does yet.

To me it's moot, I don't watch The Connors as I didn't watch when Roseanne was on the show. I love watching Johnny act, but not enough to watch that show. 

[3ku11]

I loved Johnny as David. So I we’ll prob watch his appearance. But hey imagine if Tbbt returned 15 odd years later. And say Jim Parsons made a racist comment (I know Jim would never). And they fired him. And made a new show. Life After Sheldon. Second thought. I would watch the hell out of that lol. Point is it’s a crazy change. Some times they really should just leaves shows be.

Movies should be left alone as well. There are way too many redo's of movies.

I totally agree with this. And most of them are not as good as the original. I can think of a few exceptions, but not many.
