I never said that you bought something BECAUSE it was advertised on the show, I said if anybody buys a product advertised on the show they contribute to it. Here is an article about how much it costs to buy an ad during TBBT, it's over $326, 000.00 for 30 seconds (this is from 2013, I'm sure it's probably doubled by now).

Do you buy:

Cars

Dog/cat food

Breakfast cereal

Frozen foods

Apple products (phones, tablets, etc.)

Soft drinks

Beer

Cleaning products

Etc.

Etc.

Etc.

30 minutes is 30 minutes.

21 minutes of show + 9 minutes of ads = 30 minutes

18 minutes of show + 12 minutes of ads = 30 minutes

From 8 to 8:30 this is where I be; I don't have to cut out a nanosecond more based on the actors's pay.

Don't assume I don't enjoy ads.

But if it got to where it's 29 minutes of ads and 1 minute of show, will you still say it's not "costing" you anything?

Otherwise it's just a matter of degree.

Please--Get back to me when you want to have an "adult" discussion.

Not for you--you are good As Is.

What a sad (and dull) place the Board would be if a poster couldn’t dole out a little criticism in one Thread while engaging in a little tongue in cheek in another.

Sorry, I thought you were just being a wise ass, if not I profusely apologize.

Not a problem. No doubt an Emoji would have helped--I was too lazy to look.

I like that one Z! I think I've got music in me, too. Like in my soul, not my left elbow. That's why I'd love a few more scenes set to music. It just adds to the experience for me.

@bratface said:

I blame the actor's, they aren't brain damaged, etc. They can say stop this is enough! NOBODY NEEDS TO EARN $1,000,000.00 per episode. There was the story where the 'bigger' stars would take a pay cut so Rauch & Bialik could get a raise from $200,000.00 to $450,000.00 an episode. NOBODY needs $200,000.00 an episode. There are people in the world that are trying to save lives (cancer researchers, etc.), people that are saving lives (doctors, nurses, etc.) who don't earn anything close to that. To me that is so wrong!

None of them are earning $1M anymore. And if you have a problem with the actors earning so much, why are you saying anything about the production company, Chuck Lorre, the producers, or anybody else making an obscene amount of money off of this?

Better yet, direct your anger at pharmaceutical and insurance CEOs, who make more in a year than any of these actors will throughout the span of the show. And YOU'RE actually paying for that. That $4 coffee you have at Starbuck's cost them about $1.10. If that.

Long story short, aim the jealousy and anger at more legitimate targets. The ones who are ACTUALLY harming you and taking your money.

BTW, I AM a teacher (and an unemployed one at that), so I have more right than most people to hate these actors, but I don't because it would make me look like a petty, insecure douchebag.

If so then the Geology Department might be interested in studying you. Or Bert might be interested in a date ? Anyways I posted the link so I must be older than gravel then.
