    it was based on a book that was called K-Pax. I don't know what they were thinking either but i doubt it would've been any more successful had they named it after Spacey's characer's name which was PROT. (we'd still be talking about how horrible a title it had it was released as PROT)
    I don't know you try thinking of

    I liked K-Pax. I saw it in theaters the weekend it came out. I never got why people shat all over it even at the time. All right so maybe its a little chintzy—you never do get a definitive answer as to whether or not he's actually an alien inhabiting Spacey's body and the ending is suitably ambiguous in that it

    CLASSIC POE!

    as someone who watched it every week when it was on i can honestly say its exactly how you decribe BBT. Not nearly as good Seinfeld, and not nearly as well put together as Frasier but the first four or five seasons were solidly written and performed and conveyed a real sense of fun being had by both the actors and the

    what about Barkhad Abdi??? I'm sure he'd be greatful for the work.

    i was actually out like a light not twenty minutes into land of the lost. to be fair it was a long day. I was picked up by my dad's then current fiance and because she was gonna be late to work she drove straight to work where i spent a good couple of hours conked out in the back seat of her car and when i came to i

    it was a really cute show—and it regularly held onto a very large majority of its already low rated lead-in which was season four episodes of Scrubs. When NBC axed it i was surprised if only because it completely held its own and it was exactly the kind of cute promising young show that the network would have at least

    it was distinctly not fun—but i like being able to look back on that now because of how much i'm not working currently. (i can look back and be like see? i worked hard at one time—i had a job i busted my ass at once…ONCE)

    On the one hand its single handedly powering their Thursday Night Lineup—as much as i heart Elementary, its not the reason why CBS consistently owns Thursday nights now. They could run a test pattern next to it and they would still score a sizable audience number for said test pattern. (and they've run some real

    i honestly do think all the characters are likable. Its probably THE reason why i watch it. I genuinely like the characters and that includes Sheldon.

    um no if something is firmly on top of the ratings heap—the network will do ANYTHING to keep it there. Its really up to the actors and producers themselves to turn down the offer from the network and end the show themselves if something is THIS successful.

    i'm not even kidding when i say that i can't even think of what the plotlines are gonna be like for your average episode in the next three seasons—-beyond the basic Sheldon does something and everyone reacts plotline. I SAY THIS AS A FAN OF THE SHOW TOO which kills me!

    i don't think anyone in the cast is yet in the mil per ep range but that could very easily change with the new three year renewal deal.
    I do think Parsons is the highest paid actor of the lot but its possible i'm wrong. (i would guess his salary to be in the 750,000 range at this point but i'd just be guessing—then

    Suddenly "Marge Becomes A Robot and maybe Moe Gets A Cell Phone" seem more like plausible plot ideas!

    I liked Friends very very much during its run—and i've seen the episodes in syndication many many times in the decade since its left the air but its quite clear to me that Big Bang is aping Friends' game plan for a while now. From the Thursday at 8 timeslot to the way it completely holds up the rest of the night's

    it would have to be supporting characters akin to Father Mulcahy and Sherman Potter so it'd be like Stuart (the comic book store owner) and i don't know Barry Kripke.

    So Friends then?

    i honestly love that explanation so much that i almost feel like Lorre and company should steal it whenever they get asked the Aspberger's question that seems to come up every other year during press tours.

    Thats kind of dissapointing to hear because i like to think that James Roday would be a great guest star to have around for an episode or two. (I'm serious if Leonard and Penny ever break up again—having him be like her rebound guy would be awesome)

    i don't think i'm exaggerating at all when i say that this show has probably been far, far, faaar worse for guys named Sheldon than anyone hurting over the portrayl of "nerd culture"
