If you are thinking Shamy I don't think so. I think Jim is ready to move back to NY and focus on theatre. I kind of get the feeling that is where he is happiest. I could be wrong though. We will just have to get our Jim Parsons fix somewhere else. At least I will. 

His production pod at WB has multiple projects lined up for production.  He is still the EP and voice of "Young Sheldon".  He has a movie coming out this fall with Zach Efron about mass murder Ted Bundy.  I agree that theater is his first love, but he has carefully diversified himself so that he has many irons is the fire right now.

we might get another spinoff hopefully

I don't think there have been any serious ideas floated other than YS. I'd give anything that came up a look.

Yeah I'll pass on any possible spin off idea. Rarely come off. Do we want a Joey? Cheers was one of the rare anomoalys. But yeah its not my Jim Parsons fix that I well miss hahahahaha. I well miss KC in the tight tops and shorts LOL. Kidding. 

The main reason Frasier was successful was because they had a  solid supporting cast all around and changed his Character and made him a little more likable and also witty more sophisticated writing. Where as Joey had a weak supporting cast and they made him dumber also bad wiritng.  A Monica and Chandler Spinoff would have been better .   

Cheers did have a spinoff to though that failed miserably  To be honest I preferred Frasier on Cheers during it later seasons but the spinoff was okay. It is one of the better one but he was the strongest supporting character on Cheers who could carry a spinoff

A Howard/Bernadette spinoff might work but then they would have to show real kids, they could still have the Howard//Raj bromance...just a thought

Johnny has a production company, he could pitch it just like Jim pitched "Young Sheldon".

Howardette would be a cool spinoff. I am just going to sit back and enjoy this season as I have all the others.

Jim didn't pitch YS. Molaro (and Lorre) did.

Yeah I don't think we should have another pregnancy storyline till least penultimate and series final. OF course I want the show to homage the pilot. With Penny being pregnant. But who knows where they go. Actually exciting really. Now the final season is confirmed. Won't be writing for the majority now. Uncertainty gone. So they can now plan out the episodes. So might be interesting where they go. As said if they have a final great season. No one well remember the mediocrity of the past 4 seasons.

Either way seeing he does have a production company. IF he was interested in a Pilot Around a Young Leonard. He could pitch it. Their are some interesting connatations. We know alot about his mother good ol Bev. But could learn a bit more about Alfred, and what kinda infuence he had. Leonard also has 2 or so more succesfull siblings. And that hugging machine hahaha.

Jim and his production company came up with the idea based on his nephew in Texas. Jim thought it sounded a lot like a young version of Sheldon, So he called Chuck before moving forward with the idea to WB.  Chuck & Steve loved it and the show was born.  Jim has talked about this often.

I remember an earlier post some 15-20 pages complaining basically on how Lenny should of had a similar like wedding as to Shamy  and the response was how it would be boring if they did the same thing for both. Wouldn’t both couples being pregnant at the same time be boring. As my fellow shipper 3kull would say the show should pay homage to the first episode. The pregnancy moment at the end should be reserved only for Lenny

Agreed ! I've said more than once they could make a good one with Howard and Bernadette both doing secret work on a remote island. There could be a tight-knit scientific community there, with a school and a community centre. The rest of the TBBT cast could guest star at intervals. Raj would play a mysterious role.

We don't know anything, but if a cast member has killed off the show my money is not on Jim not with YS running and getting a ratings boost from this show.

Based on the news articles I have come across, looks like it ended because  Jim  doesn't want to continue .

This is the feeling i got, leonard actually makes the comment opposites attract to penny at one point too.

I found the Leonard and Penny plot funny i cant remember it as well as the sheldon and amy one just because they filmed some scenes quite a few times it was hard to follow whereas sheldon and amys was pretaped.

 

Thanks for the taping info.

Lorre owns all the characters.  There is no spinoff without him.  He is also listed as the creater of Young Sheldon,Jim is not.

[Burberry]

so I was going through Bill Pradys Twitter and I found this 

does this mean there is going to be another spinoff telling the stories and lose ends 😃 Yayayaytssyt

[MsGreentea]

It is hard for me to see a successful spinoff.  Watching Beverly torture eight year old Leonard?  You could do a Leonard and Penny only if you moved them on to a new situation like Penny getting a big movie.  I don’t see Howard Bernadette or Raj (as acharacterd) carrying a show.  Remember it would still be Lorre’s team and he isn’t suddenly going to show some great interest in these characters.   I could see him producing a Texas based Sheldon show, but I think it is pretty likely Jim wants to pursue other things.  It seems like Jim selling his house is a big tell.  Everyone else seems to be firmly based in LA

[kbp]

just wish  jim would put something up its not like him  i just hope someone tells us why when i saw mayim this morning i think she was in shock

They could do the show without Jim ;). Of course hes the biggest Star. But I have a feeling Johnny may not have wanted to continue too.

For much I love a show and be hard to let it go, I understand if it might be enough for an actor be the same character for twelve years.

There are others things to be explored  and a long life sitcom character might stay too much "glued" to an actor "skin" for future career projects. There are lots of actors in those shoes for years, some even ďedicated to other kind of job. I would not like that for tbbt cast though...

Anyway,  I think after twelve seasons we have seen lots of things from the lives of these characters. It could be any actor expressing that would not continue aboard. I dont blame Jim neither any of others that could decide the same. Imo it was a wise decision of ending the show as the cast would not be the usual. The show would not be the same without any of them imo.

So I am very thankfull for their work and dedication for tbbt be one of my favorite shows. I wont ever forget the fun because of it and because of fandom comunities like this forum. When I miss it, I have my dvds and surely the reruns will last for years. And friends for still talk about it as well

For now, I hope they can do an epic season finale for us always remember. I believe they will as it wont happen the stress of "s12 will be last season or not" . We know since first S12 taping. A great thing for our fan sanity and for season quality, if you ask me.
