CBS renews Big Bang Theory for 3 seasons at once

[NewJeffCT]

Never heard of a 3 season mega-renewal before, but they just did it for Big Bang Theory.

Sheldon and Leonard will be geeking out on CBS for years to come thanks to a mega three-season renewal pact that CBS has struck with Warner Bros. TV for “The Big Bang Theory.”

Deal for primetime’s No. 1 comedy runs through the 2016-17 season, shoring up a cornerstone of CBS’ schedule. “Big Bang” has logged its highest ratings to date this season, its seventh, averaging 19.79 million viewers and a 6.1 rating/19 share in adults 18-49.

Warner Bros. TV is also in the midst of contract renewal negotiations with key cast members Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting and others.

4. Could be risky, but...

They should be OK as long as they don't add A-Rod to the cast.

5. It would be a lot better if they did it in blackface.

I always enjoy my superficial offensive stereotypes more when they are thorough.
