"It was the first time in my life of doing this show that it occurred to me that I might want to not do another contract after 12 was up.

There were no negative external factors that drove his decision, he just genuinely thought it was time to move forward with his career. As it turns out, it wasn't planned - one day, he simply realized that he no longer wanted to return after season 12. Speaking with THR in light of The Big Bang Theory's sendoff, Parsons details how he came to the realization that it was time to move on from the show, despite the hefty paychecks he and his co-stars enjoy per episode (reportedly $1 million).

But the series could have continued had it not been for Parsons decision to leave, a choice he said just all of a sudden came to him. The Pasadena-based gang of seven remained tight until the very final episode of the show, which was arguably one of the most touching sitcom finales in recent memory. By season 4, recurring guest stars Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) and Mayim Bialik (Amy) were promoted to series regulars, fully filling out the cast. The sitcom's unaired pilot with a different female lead received primarily negative reviews, leading it to be reshot with Kaley Cuoco's Penny, Simon Helberg' Howard and Kunal Nayyar's Raj. But as it turns out, the reason boiled down to one of the show's main leads no longer wanting to return past its 12th year.ĭebuting in 2007, Parson's Sheldon Cooper was among the first characters cast for The Big Bang Theory, alongside Johnny Galecki's Leonard. This came as a shock to many, since the network had hinted at a season 13 not long before, and the show continued to perform well in terms of ratings. A month before the CBS sitcom premiered season 12, it was announced that it was ending, with its upcoming outing set to be its last. People connect on more than a physical level and no decent human would be like, “well I like you, but you’re less attractive in the eyes of strangers than my exes, sooo bye.” Maybe getting to know her he’ll see she’s best for him rather than some hot girl who he has nothing in common with but just clings to like a tick because they’re hot, like Leonard does with Penny.Jim Parsons explains why he walked away from The Big Bang Theory. He’s dated more white women in the show than Indian, so does that mean him dating an Indian now is somehow disappointing as well (that’s the logic here)? But the women he dated in the past have zero to do with anything.

You can date drop dead gorgeous people and then fall completely in love with someone you never expected. I’m white but I don’t have deciding authority on what qualifies as a hot white woman.Īlso, all of those “hot girls” that Raj dated.remind me how those worked out again? Oh yeah. Sure, I’ve seen plenty of more attractive women that are Indian, as well as other backgrounds, but I still don’t think she’s ugly. I’m not sure your opinion matters more because your Indian here? That’s irrelevant. Seems like she always has been and it's infinitely worse now. She reacted exactly the same way people unhappy with their decision to become parents have reacted to me.īernadette is just a mean, self-centered, unhappy person dissatisfied with her life. I'm childfree by choice and have experienced this same reaction firsthand on more than one occasion. Bernadatte is appalled and insulted, can't accept it and wants Penny to be just as unhappy as she is.

Penny is standing there saying exactly what Bernadette did, "I don't want kids" and unlike Bernadatte she's prepared to see it through. And here's the sad part, like people I've sen in real life, she won't be satisfied unless others are just as unhappy as she is. And from her own statements it's clear she's unhappy. She said more than once she didn't want kids. Sad thing is, I unfortunately have seen people like Bernadette act like this in real life.īernadette has always been a more or less mean person to Howard and everyone else.
