NEWS - Clamoroso al Cibali! "The Big Bang Theory" verso la chiusura? Lo showrunner Steve Molaro rivela che "la 10° stagione sarà l'ultima"

News tratta da "Uproxx"
Speculation began last May, after the ninth season finale of CBS’s venerable hit Big Bang Theory, that this 10th season could be the final year for the comedy. Ratings for the show continue to be stellar relative to every other comedy on television — it was seen by more than 20 million people a week last season — but it has also shown signs of aging. Last season, ratings slipped 11 percent in the 18-49 demo, although it still remained TV’s top comedy by a large margin. This 10th season, however, is a contract year, so CBS will have to decide if they’re willing to shell out a huge amount of money to keep the cast on for another season. The network pays Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg around $5.25 million an episode as it stands, and the cast may be looking for more to stick around for an 11th season. CBS would need the sitcom to continue putting up huge numbers to justify the cost. Ratings for this week’s season premiere of Big Bang Theory weren’t exactly confidence boosting. Overnight ratings show that the CBS sitcom pulled a 3.6 rating among adults 18-49 and 15.4 million viewers overall. That’s a drop of 15 percent in overall viewers, but a whopping 23 percent in the 18-49 demographic compared to last year’s season premiere. Granted, last year’s season premiere paid off a few cliffhangers, but even still, a drop that big is probably turning some heads at the network. Rumors began in earnest that this could be last season after the spring finale. Series star Kunal Nayyar suggested that possibility, while showrunner Steve Molaro was even more definitive, telling The Hollywood Reporter that he “thinks” season 10 will be the final year for the comedy. “The reality is that maybe season 10 is the ending point. The real answer is, I don’t know and all I can do right now is go episode to episode and try to make each one the best that we can”. The network, of course, will want to keep the sitcom around as long as it can continue to make money on it, and CBS head Glenn Geller suggested over the summer that he was confident the network could resign the stars, but with ratings that continue to dwindle, the network will have to decide if the numbers justify the expense. Dwindling ratings or not, there is still something to be said for Big Bang Theory’s ability to launch new shows. Kevin James’ Kevin Can Wait premiered on Monday after Big Bang Theory to a very respectable 2.6 rating among adults 18-49 and 11.2 million viewers, which is in line with the debut of Life in Pieces in the same slot last season.
Big Bang Theory might have also taken a small hit from The Voice, which returned to NBC on Monday night with new mentors Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys. It dropped only two-tenths of a point from its 2015 debut. It also helped boost the premiere of Kristen Bell’s The Good Place to a solid 2.3 rating among adults 18-49.

NEWS - Jim Parsons di "TBBT" di nuovo attore più pagato della tv Usa. A ruota i suoi compagni di sit-com. Mark Harmon di "NCIS" spartiacque tra la banda di "TBBT" e quella di "Modern Family". New entry in classifica il redivivo Duchovny grazie a "X-Files" e il sempre più lanciato Michael Weatherly ("NCIS")

News tratta da "Forbes"
CBS finished the 2015-2016 television season as the most-watched broadcast network, so it may not come as a surprise that the stars that propelled it to the top of the TV heap have taken the top five spots on FORBES’ 2016 list of television’s highest-paid actors.

The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons once again tops this list, this year with a $25.5 million take earned between June 1, 2015 and June 1, 2016. As was the case with last year’s list, a lucrative Big Bang contract counted for the lion’s share of Parsons’ earnings, as it did for his fellow castmates Johnny Galecki (#2 on the list, with $24 million in earnings during the period analyzed by FORBES), Simon Helberg (whose $22.5 million in earnings gave him the #3 spot) and Kunal Nayyar (#4, with $22 million).
Though Helberg and Nayyar have a slightly lower per-episode salary than do Parsons and Galecki (who both command a Friends-like $1 million per episode), side projects – like Helberg’s role in Florence Foster Jenkins and Nayyar’s bestselling book, “Yes, My Accent Is Real” – helped secure their spots in the top five.
Rounding out the CBS-dominated top-five is NCIS’ Mark Harmon, who once again made $20 million thanks to his role as series lead and executive producer. NCIS was the third-most watched television program in the 2015-2016 season, behind only the Super Bowl and, of course, The Big Bang Theory.

New to the list this year — due in part to the highly-anticipated reprisal of his role as Fox Mulder – is The X-Files’ David Duchovny. His $10 million take during the period analyzed by FORBES was enough to tie him for the 13^th spot with CBS’ Michael Weatherly, another newcomer. This cycle, Weatherly’s salary came from his role as fan-favorite Tony DiNozzo on NCIS; whether his new Bull) strikes just as much resonance with fans remains to be seen.

venture as Dr. Jason Bull (on CBS’
Helping to clear space for Duchovny and Weatherly were Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer, Patrick Dempsey and Simon Baker – all of whom appeared on last year’s list but did not make repeat appearances due to either their shows being cancelled (Kutcher and Cryer’s money-maker was Two and a Half Men, while Baker’s earnings driver was The Mentalist – both of which ended in February 2015) or their character getting killed off (RIP, McDreamy).
While stars of the Tiffany Network dominated the top of the 2016 list, the leading actors from the Alphabet Network dominated the rest of it. The men of Modern Family – Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O’Neill and Eric Stonestreet – once again benefited from per-episode salaries in the mid-six figures, a cut of the back end profit and varying side projects. Burrell, for instance, starred in an ad campaign for the National Association of Realtors (in-character, no less!); while Ferguson got a boost from an ad campaign with Voya and Fully Committed, the one-man Broadway show he anchored this past spring and summer.

Other actors repping ABC on the list: Nathan Fillion and Justin Chambers. Fillion’s last season as Castle’s titular character (the show was cancelled this spring) helped him earn a $12 million haul, a figure good enough to tie him with Ray Romano and Ferguson at the #7 spot. Chambers, who has played Alex Karev on Grey’s Anatomy since its inception in 2005, came in at #15 with $9.5 million.
All told, the 15 men on this list earned $225 million – a figure that outpaces the $208.5 million brought in by television’s top-earning actresses. The gender wage gap still persists — though it’s not as large in TV-land as that which women face outside of Hollywood. As FORBES’ Maddie Berg explains here, this is due in part to the beauty of cast-wide salary negotiations, which is common for large ensemble shows. Big Bang’s Parsons and Galecki earn the same per-episode salary as Kaley Cuoco, while Burrell, Ferguson et al. earn the same Modern Family paycheck as co-star Sofia Vergara — though Vergara, of course, outpaced her male co-stars in annual earnings thanks to a bevy of endorsement and licensing deals.
FORBES’ earnings estimates are based on data from Nielsen, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, as well as interviews with agents, managers, lawyers and industry insiders. Our list of the world’s highest-paid TV actresses was published last week, while the lists of the highest-paid film actors and actresses were published in August. All earnings figures are before management fees and taxes.

GOSSIP - Buon 8 marzo con Kaley Cuoco che dopo il divorzio urla: "sono una f*ucking feminist!" 

Kaley Cuoco shows off her short shorts on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine’s April 2016 issue, on newsstands March 8.

Here’s what the 30-year-old Big Bang Theory star had to share with the mag:

On her marriage with Ryan Sweeting ending: “[What happened] changes the way I look at marriage, and that makes me sad. It does not change the way that I look at love. I cannot wait to be in love again. I don’t feel like I am ready yet… which is so different for me. I dive into everything.”

On her words being misconstrued when an interviewer asked if she was a feminist: “Of course I’m a f*cking feminist. Look at me. I bleed feminism. I get equal pay to my male costars on a big show, I have my own home, I’m as independent as you could possibly be.”

On rumors that she and her co-star Johnny Galecki are back together: “Johnny and I are very close now, but the worst part about that is I don’t want stories like that, especially during this divorce, to hurt my ex. We have nods with each other. Johnny and I do this thing like a nod that says, ‘I got you. I get it.’”

On kids: “I thought I’d have a baby by now! You see your life going one way, and then it’s the direct opposite way. I’m waking up going, Oh my god, my life just flipped upside down.”

NEWS - Clamorosissimo al Cibalissimo! L'ottava stagione di "TBBT" a rischio: i 5 attori top vogliono più soldi (come "Friends", tanto per amicizia!). Un milione di dollari a testa a episodio o si slitta!

News tratta da Deadline.com
Flagship CBS comedy series The Big Bang Theory is slated to go into production on its upcoming eighth season on July 30. But with only two weeks to go, the entire original cast of the hit comedy is still without contracts. I hear the two sides are still far apart and there has been little dialogue.
The situation resembles the 2010 salary renegotiations when Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar too faced the start of production in the midst of talks with producing studio Warner Bros. TV. The difference is that back then, they had existing contracts and were obligated to show up for work, which they did while their teams were negotiating big pay bumps behind the scenes. This time around, none of the five have deals in place as their contracts on the show expired at the end of last season. Big Bang‘s newest cast members, Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik, who renegotiated their contracts last fall with substantial salary increases, are the only actors currently under contracts.
That means that, if new deals with the Original Five are not reached in the next two weeks, production on Season 8 may be pushed. I hear that even if Big Bang doesn’t start start production until after Labor Day, it still is expected to be able to deliver an hourlong season premiere for September 22 but insiders do not think things would go that far. (Big Bang‘s 2010 salary renegotiations didn’t wrap until September.) Warner Bros. TV is known for going down to the wire but being able to close big cast deals on time, including multiple negotiations on Two And A Half Men.
When CBS and Warner Bros. TV inked a three-year pickup for the hit comedy in March for a license fee north of $4 million per episode, the renewal was cast-contingent as it was done without securing the main cast. No meaningful conversations with the cast’s reps followed. There was a small push to get the deals done in the days leading to CBS’ upfront presentation. Some progress was made but not enough to reach agreements in time for the presentation. It’s been a slow going since then. But there are encouraging signs — I hear the two sides are finally engaging, with real back-and-forth likely to begin within the next week or so.
There are small changess in the actors’ negotiating teams from 2010. Parsons was with Innovative Artists then, now he is with CAA; Galecki was with CAA, now he is with WME. Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco no longer are represented by the same law firm, Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, which again reps Galecki and Cuoco, while Parsons is with Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown. Still, talks seem to be following a similar pattern — the trio negotiating separately with Parsons leading the way and the stars expected to get “favored nations”-type deals that call for parity in their pay. While in 2010 Parsons, Galecki and Cuoco finished their renegotiations before Helberg and Nayyar started theirs, this time all five are without contracts and therefore negotiating simultaneously, with Helberg and Nayyar again in a different group than the other three stars.
Under their previous contract, Galecki, Parsons and Cuoco earned around $350,000 an episode in Season 7, with each owning 0.25 point of the series’ lucrative backend. Given the enormous success on Big Bang, a blockbuster network and off-network hit which some estimate could generate up to $3 billion for Warner Bros TV, Galecki, Parsons and Cuoco could go into Friends territory with new salaries in the neighborhood of $1 million per episode, plus a bigger piece of the backend.

NEWS - The Big Boom Theory! TBBT è fenomeno anche in Cina (dove non per niente, a riprova del successo, viene censurata), mentre in Italia escono i dvd della 5° e 6° stagione

(ANSA) - ROMA - E' ormai un fenomeno globale The Big Bang Theory, la sitcom con Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki e Kaley Cuoco, insieme, fra gli altri, a Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar,
Melissa Rauch e Mayim Bialik su due giovani e geniali scienziati nerd, contornati da amici, colleghi e ragazze, di cui il 22 maggio escono i cofanetti con la quinta e sesta stagione, editi da Warner Bros Entertainment Italia. Negli Usa la settima stagione (da noi ora in onda in prima visione sul canale pay Joi) ha avuto picchi di oltre 20 milioni di spettatori e la sitcom e' gia' stata rinnovata per altre tre stagioni. I fans, molto attivi anche su internet, sono sempre di piu' in tutto il mondo, Cina compresa, dove pero' la sitcom e' finita recentemente sotto la scure dei censori, che l'hanno inclusa, con The Good Wife, Ncis e The practice, fra i programmi di cui e' stata ordinata la rimozione dai canali in streaming, sui quali The Big Bang Theory aveva accumulato oltre un miliardo e 300mila visualizzazioni. I cinesi pero' non ci vogliono rinunciare: ne verra' mandata una versione 'ripulita' sulla China Central Television. Il successo della situation comedy ideata da Chuck Lorre e
Bill Prady e' anche di critica: fra i tanti premi vinti ci sono ben cinque Emmy, di cui tre conquistati da Jim Parsons, che con il suo humour caustico ha reso il suo personaggio, Sheldon Cooper, fisico teoretico pieno di manie, appassionato di fantascienza e un po' misantropo, una nuova icona televisiva. Un trionfo, per lui, Johnny Galecki e Kaley Cuoco, anche 'economico': infatti i tre attori sono passati dal guadagnare 60mila dollari a episodio nel 2007 ai 350 mila dollari per episodio di oggi.
''Per doppiare Parsons mi ha aiutato molto essere anche il doppiatore di tante serie animate come Naruto - spiega la voce italiana di Sheldon Leonardo Graziano nell'incontro con i giornalisti per il lancio dei dvd - Parsons ha ritmi velocissimi, proprio come quelli di un cartone animato''. Per Graziano, la bravura di Parsons sta nel ''recitare anche con gli occhi, e' allo stesso tempo molto facile e molto difficile intonarsi ai suoi tempi. Con poco sa restituire molto''. Per Gabriele Lopez, doppiatore di Leonard Hofstadter (interpretato da Johnny Galecki), il fisico sperimentale, migliore amico e coinquilino di Sheldon, ''The Big Bang Theory e' una serie trasversale. Racconta situazioni molto particolari con una comicita' che piace a tutti, dal 15enne al 60enne... e in fondo, siamo tutti un po' nerd''. Con il passare degli anni ''scrivere la sitcom non e' piu' solo un lavoro - spiega in un'intervista Chuck Lorre che in passato e' stato anche fra gli autori di altre sitcom di Roseanne, Dharma e Greg e Due uomini e mezzo -. Si da' uno sguardo sempre piu' intimo ai personaggi, che cosi' diventano piu' profondi e divertenti''.
Parsons (che ha fatto coming out nel 2012), dopo la chiusura giovedi' scorso della settima stagione di The Big Bang Theory, sta per tornare sul piccolo schermo come coprotagonista, nel ruolo gia' interpretato tre anni fa a Broadway, di The normal heart l'atteso film tv di Ryan Murphy, con Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts e Alfred Molina, al debutto sull'Hbo il 25 maggio, tratto da una piece autobiografica di Larry Kramer, che racconta l'impatto dell'epidemia dell'Aids negli anni '80 sulla comunita' gay newyorchese.

GOSSIP - Cuoco tu, Cosmo! Ormai "Cosmopolitan" è una succursale delle star telefilmiche (nel numero Usa di maggio Kaley di "TBBT")
Kaley Cuoco shows off her assets on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine’s May 2014 issue, on newsstands April 8. Here’s what the 28-year-old The Big Bang Theory actress had to share with the mag:
On her breakup with co-star Johnny Galecki: “It took a minute, a bit of awkwardness. By the grace of God, we became best buddies and moved on in such an elegant way. [He’s] one of my closest friends. He was in the front row at my wedding, with a huge smile on his face.”
On her short-lived fling with Henry Cavill: “I had no one following me until I met Superman. I’ve been in this business for 20 years, and my whole life, I could go anywhere, do anything. There had not been one paparazzi photo of me until like several months ago. The recognition was crazy.”
On her speedy engagement and wedding to Ryan Sweeting: “I admit it happened fast, but that’s who I am. When we met, I knew he was the one. [At my wedding], I felt like a rock star and a badass. What was amazing in that room, it was so full of love. It was like nothing I’d ever been to before, and it was exactly what we wanted it to be. It was the eighth wonder of the world, the greatest wedding of all time.”
