great news for BBT!!!! More years with Kaley. Me lucky
What about HIMYM???
Is “Yay!” too 2008? Because…YAY!!!!!!
“What about HIMYM???” Both BIG BANG THEORY and TWO AND A HALF MEN are Chuck Lorre productions; the announced deal probably included both series. HIMYM ratings went UP this year, so I wouldn’t worry too much….
They like to leave HIMYM fans waving in the breeze until like after the season finale.
what what?!? What about HIMYM? CBS needs to stop jerking us fans around and waiting until the 11th hour to renew the show. I know that it ordered 4 scripts for next season, but that’s such bull. At least we know that it is guaranteed a fith season because of the syndication contract with Lifetime…
More Sheldon!
CBS has bought 4 scripts for How I Met Your Mother already, so it’s likely to be renewed. (or at the very least, they’ll have a 4-episode season next year.
BBT is the funniest show on TV since Seinfeld!!!
As was stated on TV Guide, HIMYM is produced by Fox rather than WB, so theirs will be announced separately. There’s no reason for it not to be renewed. Can’t wait to get the news regardless!!
I’m sure that BBT and 2 1/2 were grouped in to one press release because they are both Chuck Lorre’s shows. I am fully confident that CBS will pick up HIMYM and keep the comdey threesome together on Monday nights because that line-up is awe – wait for it – some!
Best news it could have happend. The Big Bang Theory is the funniest show on TV.
