Seeing how the cast negotiated a massive raise and it still kills in the ratings, it will probably be driven into the ground for 2 to 3 more seasons. They're clearly planing to make Stuart a regular and use him to create a Raj story arc.

 

I'll just quote myself here. It will drag itself along until the 9th season, much like HIMYM, before it mercifully decides to finish "on its own terms". Or more money gets throw at it for another season. Seinfeld turned down 110 million dollars in 1998(!) to make a 10th season of Seinfeld. I don't think TBBT cast will have that problem.

I miss the old big bang theory.  It no longer feels like the nerdy show it used to.  Now it is your standard.. One couple Married, One couple on and Off, One couple awkward, and One guy single formula.

This.

 

My sister says these last few episodes have been quite good... Just shows the audience they're aiming for :(.

 

Please give us back what used to make TBBT fun and quirky; not your dumbed down, cheap comedic cheap shot one liner show.

 

On the other hand, I've really been enjoying CBS's other ginormous comedy, Two and a Half Men. Because it's not trying to be something it isn't. It's a decent sitcom with not bad writing (as of late) and it knows it.

The best episode ever was on U.K. T.V. couple of weeks back, the one where they have thanks giving at Mrs Wolowitz's home.

 

I watched it 8 times and laughed my arse off even on the floor.

 

However, they are having a break again before channel 4 show the rest of series 7.

 

It just gets better.

 

Though I wish Howard had never got married, he and Raj are so husband and wife material.

 

Amy is nice looking, penny, not that nice looking and as for that goblin Bernadette, ew.

 

Zack is far too good for Penny and as for Sheldon and Amy, ''Sheldon tap dat arse d00d''.

 

Leonard gets (other than Penny) some fine looking gash, especially Alice, how and why, he is like a squinting Elf.

 

Rajesh, well I said it before, go propose to Howard.

They should rename it to The Sheldon Show because that's what it is now.

Show lost it's charm after the second season.

 

Yeah I have grown tired of the show, if it wasn't for Penny I wouldn't care

I only like there being Bernadette because her father is a laugh.

 

Otherwise, it got spoilt a bit when Howard got married.

 

The best episode so far was when Penny found out she was married to Zack, Zack is hilarious and smarter than he appears, thanks giving at Mrs Wolowitzs.

 

The episode was the cut off episode on CH4, last night they restarted the season, I recorded last nights episode and will be watching later.

 

I am glad they are running 3 more seasons.

Work on the eighth series of US sitcom The Big Bang Theory has failed to start on time, as the principal cast members fight for higher salaries.

....

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco currently earn $325,000 (?190,000) per episode and are seeking up to $1m (?584,000) per show.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules.
