Its the #1 show (or close). Unless the stars demand some insane amount per episode when they renegotiate, it will go on. It just brings in too much $$ for CBS to just cancel it.

Didn't they just renegotiate before this season for $1 million per? How many seasons was that good for?

By the way, the cast will be on Conan tonight, (6/1). It's a repeat from February. Here are some clips.

The content for the main two couples has been solid. It's the garbage that they give Howard/Bernie and Raj that rarely ever works anymore. There are times I even think they could make Howard watchable again if they just wrote off Raj somehow.

I agree. Howard-as-child/annoyance and Raj-on-the-make have grown annoying IMHO.

Honestly it's time for it to be done. The show is well past its prime and has been running on fumes for the last couple of seasons.

Can anyone here defend and honestly say, sincerely, that this show was EVER funny? I've seen a dozen or so episodes of this and the writing was never not positively dreadful in the ones I've seen. The laugh track is obviously altered. A lot of shows do that, Google the practice, but this one clearly does it to an almost preposterous degree.

Tell me one joke, one scene, from this show that honestly, genuinely made you laugh. One.

Humour is subjective though isn't it? Just because you don't think it's funny, doesn't mean everyone else reacts the same. Given the ratings plenty of people must've found it funny at some point else they wouldn't be watching.

Leonard: I'm really nervous.
Howard: I know. We've been waiting so long for this.
Raj: We've built it up in our heads so much.
Wil Wheaton: Guys, it's just a movie.
Leonard: That's true.
Howard: He's right.
Raj: It is.
Wil Wheaton: Although, we all remember Jar-Jar.
Raj: Leonard, I'm scared again.

It was some time ago, but the episode with the Spock figure had me laughing out loud pretty much the whole episode. There have been many other times, including the episodes with Bob Newhart, but that Spock one was a stand out episode.

I thought the time machine episode had some funny moments. (first thing that popped into my head)

I've laughed at a lot of stuff throughout the show, even these last few weaker seasons have had a few good episodes here and there. Whether it be Wheaton's early appearences, some of the halloween episodes, or perhaps my favorite moment being the Spock DNA napkin.
I still never understood the extreme hate that this show gets from people. Don't like it, don't watch it and move on.

I think it was pretty solid the first five seasons or so. It's the last few that it's really gone downhill in my opinion.

They do film before a live studio audience but they absolutely enhance it. It just isn't that funny. If you watch the youtube videos of scenes without a laugh track you'll see what I mean.

The episode when Penny slipped in the shower and Sheldon had to drive her to the ER. The guys were out camping to star gaze and ended up getting stoned after eating some brownies made by some school teachers Howard came across for potential sex partners for he and Raj. The entire thirty minute show was non stop laughs.

As anyone whose been to a taping could explain to you, the scenes you're referring to are not shot before a live audience. There's only 5 or 6 scenes on the set. The rest are shot at other studio locations and then SHOWN live to the audience of that episode.
