  And apparently stupid.
  
  Myself and my body double Juice are willing to take his place for a mere $5 Million for 2 years.

  Guy is probably worth double that, I don't think he gives a fuck about the money.

  He's reportedly worth 70 million.
  
  I really thought the show would go to 15 seasons. But I guess when you're done, and 12 seasons can be enough for anyone. I feel bad for the rest of the cast, as it fucks up their money and I don't think any of them wanted it to end. Kinda pulled a Seinfield with that.

  Maybe he'll take a "trip" to South Africa soon...

  There's more than enough talent on that show to carry on without him if they wanted. If Two and a Half Men can make it without Charlie Sheen then Big Bang can go on without Sheldon. Also, there's going to be Roseanne without Roseanne.

  I'm not so sure you can classify Two and Half Men as making it without Sheen....they limped along without him until mercifully the show ended.
  
  Big Bang is similar to Friends in that the original concept of the show has aged out..........the characters are no longer 20 something's working at a university and being too geeky to fit in --they are married couples with one exception.

  I find of get his decision in context. To relate: being unemployed and without money for a couple months now, even though things are tight (unlike for Parsons) I get why time > (is greater than) money or sometimes things run their course and it needs to change.If I had his money, I would right turn and do what I want to do from this point on, too.

  Dominic--the most valuable asset anyone has is their time and yet most people never realize it.
  
  If you do and apply it correctly to your life choices you'll be fine.

  The world will be a better place without another season of this time-waster!

  Big Bang was a great show when Penny would parade around in skimpy little tips and shorts. Now, the character is Leonard's wife. Just not the same appeal. Let it die.
