Yeah I stopped watching a long time ago. I tuned in tonight cuz I mean why the f not?

and yep they nailed it. well done Big Bang Theory.

I heard on TV that they're each going to make $10 million a year in residuals.

That's like binking the main event EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Agreed. Everyone pretty much knew a while ago how the show would end on the two big storylines (Leonard/Penny and Sheldon) but the way they did it was really good.

I didn’t follow the show religiously over the last couple seasons but watched if I was in front of the TV at that time and think they managed to always keep it enjoyable. That’s an extremely hard thing to do with a show that ran for 279 episodes. Without that cast and writers, I am pretty sure they would have fizzled out after max 3-4 seasons.

Agree. Enjoyed it. Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are excellent.

OTOH, I was really disappointed with season 3 of Sneaky Pete.

I was going to say Norman Lear is rolling over in his grave...but apparently he is still alive.

Yes. I liked it from the beginning tho, but most had to warm up to it.

Yes. First few episodes are really weak but it gets pretty entertaining after that

The Jefferson's episode was much better. Jamie Foxx as George isn't too bad.

Is it necessary to watch Cheers before watching Frasier? I want to watch both but I missed it, have to wait another few weeks before S1 E1 of Cheers is on again, and S1 E1 of Frasier is on tomorrow (channel 4 in UK)

Nah, there are a small amount of call backs to Cheers, not a big deal.

not at all. there are some personality nuances that may make a difference but feel free to start on Frasier w/out Cheers. Frasier doesn't even debut on Cheers until the third season.

Frasier is probably funnier, but a Brit looking for an American comedy would probably like Cheers more.

The production shows the way acting for tv has changed over the years. Sitcoms then really sold their jokes and went with the audience. You could see Marla Gibbs really hold where others didn't.

Yeah, I liked it too. I got pretty teary eyed during the open remembering watching All in the Family every night with my grandparents when I stayed with them as a child. I also thought Tomei was a great Edith. A little disappointed with how Foxx handled his screw up, but whatever. Wanda Sykes: meh. I thought she was the maid when she first showed up. She would have been a great Florence, but she's no Weezy.
