Big Bang Theory: Main actors agree to $1 million per episode...
Not bad work if you can get it...
It's $1 million each for the actors per episode. The advertisers must pay ridiculous amounts to sell their products. http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/08/04/bi...y-cast-raises/ |

1. The jokes being understood is why it sucks 8 inches of pure Swedish beef. 2. Not even kinda true. You can be funny without profanity. 3. Pot smoking isn't funny. 4. What? |

Dumb blonde was Jessica Simpson when her and Nick Lachey filmed their Newlyweds reality TV show. "It says Chicken of the Sea. Does that mean it's chicken or tuna?"

Britney Spears sold record setting albums. George W. Bush was re-elected. Appealing to authority isn't a good measure of quality. Especially when we're discussing sitcom television that usually dominates because of the channel it airs on.

Well, yeah, even that guy she dated who thought the sun glasses were for 3D when they guys were doing that laser experiment on the moon. Boy, he was he dumb! Hilarious when the three scientists were making quips inside the apartment to him, and they went completely over his head as well.

That's not an appeal to authority. That's an appeal to ratings = popularity = cash cow= success. It's the market speaking. It has the last say. It doesn't mean it applies to everyone. It is a successful program by all typical standards.

You want to know a show that was consistently hilarious and seldom used any profanity at all? MASH.

Appeal to ratings is an appeal to authority. The appeal to authority is a form of argument attempting to establish a statistical syllogism, ie television ratings.

I don't think it is a horrible sitcom, but the Big Mac comment is about spot on. I really enjoyed Silicon Valley from HBO which I think does everything BBT does, but much better because it is on cable without network restrictions, and the characters are allowed to have more sophisticated humor.
