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.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.

      Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version. Source: w3C (GitHub repo) As an online publication, Neowin too relies on ads for operating costs and, if you use an ad blocker, we'd appreciate being whitelisted. In addition, we have an ad-free subscription for $28 a year, which is another way to show support!
