Bangin' into syndication



The Big Bang Theory has become one of my favorite shows, and is a rightful owner of a spot on my DVR series record list. Deservedly so, the chemistry of the cast and the great writing makes this show stand out among the other drab sitcoms. (I still don't know how in the hell Charlie Sheen can pocket $2 million per episode for the very suck-ass Two and a Half Men).

I know I'm a few days late with this news but Big Bang just won big time in the world of syndication with TBS paying over $1.5M for the rights and Fox also ponying up another $500K. The deal is said to be a record breaking haul.

TBS looks to be the go to cable network for hit shows that reach syndication. Shows such as The Office, Family Guy, Seinfeld, and Everybody Loves Raymond all have deals with the network. Now with Conan O'Brien bringing his late night talk show to the 11pm lineup in November, TBS will be clogging up more of my DVR space.

It also doesn't hurt to have the terrific Kaley Cuoco gracing us with her presence.

Even though Sheldon gets most of the character accolades, Wolowitz is the true game changer.
