The Big Bang Theory just got a really fantastic 3 year pickup at CBS, keeping the show on the air through the 10th season. The cast themselves haven’t resigned, and they’ll likely all be looking for raises. Thankfully, this is one of the biggest shows on TV, so CBS can afford to pay them what they’re worth.
On a side note, rumor has it that CBS is looking at picking up all of Chuck Lorre’s sitcoms, including freshman series Mom, and Melissa McCarthy’s Mike and Molly, as well as Two and a Half Men. However, this might be Two and a Half Men’s final go around, as the network is reportedly looking at a half-order of 13 episodes billed as the “final season”.
Maybe with the strength of their new freshman series, The Crazy Ones and The Millers, CBS feels like it is time to let Men go? Ashton Kutcher does earn a boatload of money per episode, so it would free up some cash to throw at the Big Bang kids.
