Jim Parsons made the right call. American shows often don’t know when to quit while they’re ahead. They keep going until fans are begging for it to be put out of its misery.
The Walking Dead is a prime example. They should have ended it like 5 years ago. People have been bored of it for years. Now there’s only 2 characters who were at the beginning and they keep making spin-offs to add insult to injury. Disgusting greed
@@udontgotJack The Walking Dead was kinda screwed anyways. If they ended it earlier comic book fans would’ve not been happy, and since they continued to go along with the source material then it got bad and the show watchers weren’t happy, so it was kind of a lose lose situation either way
I remember in an interview, Jim had mentioned that his father had died kinda young. Given the fact that Jim is almost at his fathers age when he died, he wanted to do more than just work.
The reason he ended the series was because his father died around the age Jim was when the last season was being filmed. There were things in his life he still wanted to do and he felt that being on Big Bang wasn’t going to give him that chance to do those things. He ended the show so he could accomplish and experience things his father would never had the chance to. I hope this clears this.
@@darklordganondoofus He isn't obliged to do the show if he doesn't wish to simply because the other actors might lose their jobs. Besides, I think it's better to end a show at its prime instead of dragging it out, like many people already said. Anyway that's my opinion.
@@rabbitman8535 i never said he was written well, its just that the actor embodies the character in a way where he couldn't be replaced by any other actor.
@@yderga8707 ah I interpretated that if it was to continue to season 13 that no one would be able to replace Sheldon the character. But yes I do agree with that.
Stopping a show while it's still popular is the best decision they could have made. Something is not good just because it lasts too long. A lot of people in this industry need to understand this and know when to stop. TWD and GOT are good examples of this. They didn't stop at the right time and they paid the price for it. Edit: Honestly if TWD had ended after the Whisperers and only continued through the spin-offs, the show would be so much better.
GOT had Brixit going on in the last seasons and was running out of money. But it was good and so is House of the dragon and i’m sure the other spin offs coming out. TWD they tried to monetize and creat a big franchise. Just wanted to point out the differences. TBBT is a sit-com. Not story driven like the others. It can go on and on and on.
It was like they switched main characters at the beginning of the series. Because the first couple of episodes make it seem like the main story is Leonard trying to impress Penny but after the episode where Sheldon’s mom comes to visit it seems the series shifts it’s focus to Sheldon as the Main character. Even in the scrapped pilot episode you get the same impression that Leonard is the main character and Sheldon plays more of a supporting role.
It sounds similar to Family Matters where Steve Urkle was supposed to cameo once in a while but he "stole the show" and therefore became a mainstay where he became the main character
Honestly probably is true. Since main characters usually get love interests from episode 1. I think Sheldon was probably just supposed to be the weird/genius roommate. The comic relief but he soon became the center of the show and so they gave him Amy and made a whole story around them. He was so popular he got a Spin Off.
@@surayaranjber4740 just like Kramer with Seinfeld. If he wasn’t in that series it would’ve crashed and burned. I hate Seinfeld’s dry lane humor. Elaine and George were okay. Then merry last lol
He's worth 160 million and he's nearly 50 years old. If you have enough money to do whatever you want, at that point the most valuable thing you have is your time.
This was great of this show to end it when it was in its prime. I wish other shows would follow this. I still wish that the office never got those last two seasons and that it ended when Michael left.
No when to walk away, no when to run. you never count your money while you're sitting at the table, they'll be time enough for counting when the dealings done. 😅@@TrainsCatsOtherStories
The show is a unique hallmark as a sitcom that introduced & displayed "nerd culture" into the mainstream with great success. It ended majestically. Sometimes, an actor/actress doesn't want to be remembered as merely one character for their entire career. They perhaps want to explore different opportunities to expand their role playing & method acting capabilities onto different characters.
Professionally speaking, golden handcuffs are a real thing in the entertainment industry. Actors and comics and who become popular or “make it” on a particular tv show can easily get boxed into that one character they play or limited to one genre the longer they work on a particular show. The fact they are highly paid doing the one thing they’re known for can work against them in the long run; the longer they milk their financial success doing that one thing, the more likely they’ll be to get locked into that one thing forever
Smart move. He made A LOT of money. Pretty sure he wasn’t foolish with it. Has become iconic due to his character and now just has fun doing cameos or preferred projects. Good for him. 👏
A little selfish not checking in with the rest of the cast - they could’ve continued with him doing guest appearances as he did with young Sheldon - sad the rest of the cast had to suddenly end only because of Jim.
my only gripe is one more season would’ve given the series a even 300 episode count & it would’ve been around covid time so we could’ve gotten a whole season of sheldon dealin with the pandemic 😂😭
I just finished season one of Young Sheldon. There’s an episode where everyone in sheldon’s class starts sneezing. He goes home and builds himself a sterile room with plastic in his car garage. I thought this was during the pandemic but after looking at the year it was around 2017. How far ahead were they its amazing.
I think he was kind of doing the same thing Bea Arthur (1922-2009) did, after doing it for enough seasons, they both got kind of tired of their roles. Same as actress Jean Stapleton, (1923-2013) she too got tired of playing the role of Edith Bunker. I believe that all 3 thought it was a great gig for them but decided it was time for something else and to quit while they were ahead. Change is good sometimes.
It was more issues in his private life than being tired of the role, his health wasn't great at that time, his dog had just died and he was struggling. I'm sure there was the aspect of him wanting to try new things after 12 years but it wasn't the driving force or the sole reason he wanted to leave.
I agree. just Amy Burny and Penny interactions make me laugh ..especially when they're mad at each other. the only person that I dnt think is funny is leanord but he adds emotion so I'm cool with it.
So many people called him ungrateful because he wanted to leave. But I don't get why. He played the role for 12 damn seasons!!! Most actors don't want to play the same role forever. And most actors want to play more challenging roles than just comedy. He always had to act the same way as Sheldon. It's not hard to understand that he wanted to so something different.
exactly, it shows it more since he was getting paid the most out of everyone by far, and still chose to leave. While the rest of the cast for sure wanted to keep rolling with it and making money, Parsons felt he made enough and wanted to do more as an actor, and in his life. the only ungrateful people, were the ones yelling at him for choosing his life, over being the same character for his whole career just because people wanted him on the show. To the viewers the show takes up an hour of their time, where as for Parson it takes up his life to film all of that. Its the fans who are selfish and ungrateful for talking shit about him for wanting to do more with his life.
Tbh the show started to go downhill from S9 . It's a good thing that he wanted it to end on a good note . It could've become like Friends where , in the last seasons everyone became stupid , annoying .
@@subratanandy2142 Naa friends was still good in the latter seasons, but the joey-rachel storyline killed it. They shoudlve made rachel and ross reunite faster and the show coudlve gone on for a couple more years. They couldve ended it when Joey found purpose/love.
Just because he stayed single he's not happy? Wtf kind of screwed-up logic is that, the point of Raj is to show that one does not need to be in a relationship to be content with their life.
@@joshz2491 yeah that was the point that's why they had other seasons planned before Parson wanted it to end say what you want but he got the short end of the stick he should have got more he wanted the girl or else why would he even nearly get on the plane on the first place the only reason he didn't is because Howard made him realise it was the wrong girl for him. Raj deserves better then how the series left him.
@@joshz2491 but that is his character his need to validated by a relationship even in the finale he was ready to leave his pals behind so he might not miss a chance at love he literally had to be talked out of it by his best friend who did get married and have kids.
Honestly, having Leonard be portrayed by a better actor was a good god call. You can forgive an actor for being stiff, if it’s in the character. However Leonard is emotional and he shows that through a lot of body language.
Good for him. Having a show peter out over time is always hard to watch, and I felt like the writers were kinda struggling by season 12. He probably did his co-stars a favor.
That’s what irritates me the most. JP ended TBBT but Sheldon lives on in Young Sheldon with his help. I think there were many storylines that could have been explored. Raj, Stuart, offspring. The Sheldon character peaked but others had a ways to go.
@@kauihou exactly. It really seems like that's a slap in the face to the other actors. There was so much more to their characters. Just because the person they made the main character wanted to leave, doesn't mean Howard and Bernadette, Raj, Leonard couldn't have had their stories continued.
@@kauihou Raj especially. He was treated the worst. Also Leonard & Penny’s pregnancy seamed rushed. It would have been nice to see Penny slowly become more open to the idea
@@YahavehsSoldier u can't blame him. Like u say his character peaked. He chose to leave the show, it the show runner decision to keep it going without him and they just chose not to. It the same case w show like castle, happy days, and criminal minds. At the end of the day, it still a job and coworker shouldn't be the deciding factor if u want to keep working or not
Suraya Ranjber eh I think penny accidentally getting pregnant and being happy with it is the only way they COULDVE done it. She wasn't AGAINST the idea, just unsure. But if fate decided she should, she would.
I’m so glad they didn’t decide to continue the show without jim, he had such a prominent role and if he left the whole group dynamic would change. The show now has a pretty good and satisfying ending, I’m happy they left it at that
@@mangafq8 Nah I don't count Seinfeld stayed it welcome. Even though it stayed on the air for 9 years, it didn't get popular until after the 4 or 5th season. Remember, when Seinfeld first aired it did horribly in the ratings and almost got canceled. What saved the show was the syndication on other channels, then it got popular after the 5th season. That's when I started to watch it. So to me, Seinfeld could have stayed for another 4 years to me.
The interesting thing is that the character was completely different during the test pilot And the show would not have caught on the way did if the character had remained the same
I dunno the whole plot around Bernadette being a pregnant and having kids was insufferable so I don’t think I’d want to watch a bunch more seasons of that:/
He made the right call. Months before the announcement I was saying they show had little left to go direction and plot wise. Which is what happens with a show thats survived for so long. It turns from an offshoot comedy to a plot with funny jokes. I said I think it might get cancelled soon and then BAM!
Honestly Jhonny Galecki took one of the best decisions ever by saying he was going to play Leonard. Sheldon was iconic because of Jim Parsons Galecki could barely play Leonard
they could have done one last season where Sheldon is not actually in the show but hinted CONSTANTLY. each episode would follow a different person. one episode could be where Lenard and Penny move into a house just like Sheldon and Amy got their own house. Penny video calls Amy and Bernadette in that episode too check in. then we get an episode where Bernadette and Howard finally find Stewart a gf and apartment and have to deal with his absence. then show an episode where rajesh's father passes away and he inherits his fathers company and money and he's crossed between leaving America to run the business in India or giving the business up to his mother or sister. then have an episode about Amy getting pregnant with Sheldon and always have Sheldon in the other room talking from a distance "helping her with chores" and have it look like he's always just walking out of the room so we "think" we see him, and then at the end have him appear for like the last scene being a wholesome husband to Amy showing his character development. if you did it in an order like this, Sheldon would only have to appear once every 5 or 6 episodes, besides the occasional voiceover and it wouldn't take away from the weight of the show but instead illustrate that this is the last season for how much they are truly growing into their own people while still inviting their friendship into their lives without it being the mainframe of their life.
thats just the thing though i dont think it would have gone well, not a lot of sheldon = show ,most likely flopping, although id love to see what you wrote i just dont think itd go well,, besides jims dad had died around 56 or something like that during the last season and hes in his late 40s by the time it ended i think and it made him realize he wants to do more things in life then be stuck to one character bcs if his life goes the same as his dads then theres not much time left and we never know how life goes, time is short we dont have forever and the role of sheldon played a role in his mental health
Jim Parsons really pulled a Sheldon on them all. He started at the lowest & by the end had the power to end the show himself & executive produce the prequel sidelining every other character. Played everyone for a fiddle. Man took an unlikeable Nerdy character & has created a legacy his family will live off for the next 50 years.
Im pretty sure Jim Parsons said somewhere that his age was starting to show, where he felt it was much more difficult to act like a 20something year old in his late 30s.
The Big Bang Theory wouldn't have been the same without Sheldon. I honestly wanted to eventually see Sheldon have a kid like he/Jim Parsons narrates in Young Sheldon.
He made the right call. Honestly, it should have ended with 10 or 11 at the latest. I absolutely loved BBT but it was turning into a relationship family sitcom rather than the nerdy sitcom that made it unique. I'm glad they finished it properly instead of just cancelling without closure.
When his dad passed away it made him really think of the important things in his life. He ultimately decided there was so much more fore him to experience outside of acting and TBBT
He knew he couldn’t expand on the character any further and knew it would be all downhill from there. Perfect example of not selling out just to maximise profit and shows that he actually cares about what the fans think and how Sheldon is portrayed
but he's the executive producer AND the voice actor in the show.... he's doing pretty great for himself.... minimum work at the age of 50 while living a comfortable life???? you'd have to be crazy to not want that lol
I feel 12 years was quite a long time and was enough to carry on the lives of the characters and let us explore their lives and personalities we saw it all in that much time ❤
Playing a single character (especially such an iconic one) for so long surely is exhausting. Another disadvantage is that whatever you do in the future, people will only see you as that iconic character. Examples: Dr House, Harry Potter, Commander Steve McGareth, Dr Shawn Murphy, any superhero, etc.
Ngl, it was for the best, it felt like it was time, had a great ending and didn't feel forced like continuing could have (to create content they would have probably made mistakes and created problems for no reason). And without knowing they ended before Covid
Good on him, I felt like the show was starting to run out of ideas but was still very much a good show. It left us with good memories of it instead of us wanting to just end it already.

@@kauihou exactly. It really seems like that's a slap in the face to the other actors. There was so much more to their characters. Just because the person they made the main character wanted to leave, doesn't mean Howard and Bernadette, Raj, Leonard couldn't have had their stories continued.
@@kauihou Raj especially. He was treated the worst. Also Leonard & Penny’s pregnancy seamed rushed. It would have been nice to see Penny slowly become more open to the idea
@@YahavehsSoldier u can't blame him. Like u say his character peaked. He chose to leave the show, it the show runner decision to keep it going without him and they just chose not to. It the same case w show like castle, happy days, and criminal minds. At the end of the day, it still a job and coworker shouldn't be the deciding factor if u want to keep working or not
Suraya Ranjber eh I think penny accidentally getting pregnant and being happy with it is the only way they COULDVE done it. She wasn't AGAINST the idea, just unsure. But if fate decided she should, she would.
I’m so glad they didn’t decide to continue the show without jim, he had such a prominent role and if he left the whole group dynamic would change. The show now has a pretty good and satisfying ending, I’m happy they left it at that
1 mil a episode is insane
Sheldon became the main character in just the second episode for me. I became a fan. There's no way the show would work without sheldon lol.
At least it did not end up like certain others shows that overstayed their welcome *cough* simpsons, *cough* family guy
Yes that's correct!
Cough Seinfeld
cough cough Grey’s Anatomy
@@mangafq8 Nah I don't count Seinfeld stayed it welcome. Even though it stayed on the air for 9 years, it didn't get popular until after the 4 or 5th season. Remember, when Seinfeld first aired it did horribly in the ratings and almost got canceled. What saved the show was the syndication on other channels, then it got popular after the 5th season. That's when I started to watch it. So to me, Seinfeld could have stayed for another 4 years to me.
I think simpsons is still doing quite well, it's just one good episode followed by one mid one, then a bad one and repeat forever.
My first inclination was to hate him but then I thought about it he’s right. 12 seasons was enough. rewatching it rn! Thanks to these UA-cam Shorts. 😅
I really love when he said "It's bazinga time" and bazingad all over the place
The interesting thing is that the character was completely different during the test pilot
And the show would not have caught on the way did if the character had remained the same
We were so close to see Sheldon and Amy having a kid, if we could just have one more season
In young sheldon with the voice over Amy and sheldon were telling their kids about his childhood
@@chanisebailey2790 thats just different, I want to see what would happen during amy's pregnant
Maybe they will show it at the end of young Sheldon. Like they did for how I meet your mother, they show some bits of the future.
its just different
I dunno the whole plot around Bernadette being a pregnant and having kids was insufferable so I don’t think I’d want to watch a bunch more seasons of that:/
I was told that Galecki was the one that didn’t want to continue it
Makes sense. The show was steadily going downhill. Sheldon was the best part of the show and I get not wanting to continue doing it
And even then Sheldon was getting more and more irritating
He made the right call. Months before the announcement I was saying they show had little left to go direction and plot wise. Which is what happens with a show thats survived for so long. It turns from an offshoot comedy to a plot with funny jokes. I said I think it might get cancelled soon and then BAM!
If i were him i would have done one more season just to hit 300 episodes. but thats just me
Yeah, I hate it when a show ends on 84 episodes when they could've gone up to 100
I didn't consider that. I kinda agree.
If watch the show if it didn't have that cringe laugh track every 10 seconds.
@@8BitGamer4life 🤣
Quality/integrity matters more than milestone numbers though
It was a good call to just end it while it was still a good show rather than stretch it until it gets boring and annoying. One of my fave shows
That episode where Charlie Sheen does a cameo 🤯
Because chuck lorre learns from his mistakes
I understood that reference.
I think the show could have gone on forever every episode was fantastic. The writers did an amazing job and the actors absolutely crushed it.
I just wished raj had found his one and only.
Maybe he did after the show ended
buffy the vampire slayer :3
It was Howard all the time
Johnny was so seasoned, and wise, he was the reason the final cast was truly magic. 💜
I loved big bang. They need a reunion show.
In a decade or more. It's only been of the air a few years.
Raj can have a partner then
Honestly Jhonny Galecki took one of the best decisions ever by saying he was going to play Leonard.
Sheldon was iconic because of Jim Parsons Galecki could barely play Leonard
they could have done one last season where Sheldon is not actually in the show but hinted CONSTANTLY. each episode would follow a different person. one episode could be where Lenard and Penny move into a house just like Sheldon and Amy got their own house. Penny video calls Amy and Bernadette in that episode too check in. then we get an episode where Bernadette and Howard finally find Stewart a gf and apartment and have to deal with his absence. then show an episode where rajesh's father passes away and he inherits his fathers company and money and he's crossed between leaving America to run the business in India or giving the business up to his mother or sister. then have an episode about Amy getting pregnant with Sheldon and always have Sheldon in the other room talking from a distance "helping her with chores" and have it look like he's always just walking out of the room so we "think" we see him, and then at the end have him appear for like the last scene being a wholesome husband to Amy showing his character development. if you did it in an order like this, Sheldon would only have to appear once every 5 or 6 episodes, besides the occasional voiceover and it wouldn't take away from the weight of the show but instead illustrate that this is the last season for how much they are truly growing into their own people while still inviting their friendship into their lives without it being the mainframe of their life.
This is just Brilliant!!😂
thats just the thing though i dont think it would have gone well, not a lot of sheldon = show ,most likely flopping, although id love to see what you wrote i just dont think itd go well,, besides jims dad had died around 56 or something like that during the last season and hes in his late 40s by the time it ended i think and it made him realize he wants to do more things in life then be stuck to one character bcs if his life goes the same as his dads then theres not much time left and we never know how life goes, time is short we dont have forever and the role of sheldon played a role in his mental health
This is one of the best sitcoms ever tbh, and it's fine if he wanted to end it, he'll always be my favourite character
Dang, what show wasn't created by Chuck Lorre
Friends
Honestly, they made the right call. It was starting to drag on and it ended perfectly....
Season 12 felt like they were rushing to close all the character arks, another 2 seasons would have paced it much better
I feel Big Bang theory was a show people either love or can’t stand. I hate it but know people that love it
Jim Parsons really pulled a Sheldon on them all. He started at the lowest & by the end had the power to end the show himself & executive produce the prequel sidelining every other character.
Played everyone for a fiddle. Man took an unlikeable Nerdy character & has created a legacy his family will live off for the next 50 years.
If this is true, *he did the right thing.* It ended at exactly the right time & didn’t get to the point of “jumping the shark.”
Im pretty sure Jim Parsons said somewhere that his age was starting to show, where he felt it was much more difficult to act like a 20something year old in his late 30s.
The Big Bang Theory wouldn't have been the same without Sheldon. I honestly wanted to eventually see Sheldon have a kid like he/Jim Parsons narrates in Young Sheldon.
It sounds more like he wanted out and the director/producer didn't want to keep it going without him
와 발음기호에 한글글자크기 다른이유가 강세 차이때문인거군요 …! 진짜 댑악 너무 도움돼요 😮❤
How that show managed to last 279 episodes was the biggest theory.
I still can’t figure that one out
Sheldon is really bossy in both real and real life ❤
Bro played it just like Sheldon
I mean they didn’t have to replace him, they could’ve just carried on with the other characters. Fuckin give Raj a redeeming arc.
Big Bang theory without Sheldon is like Two and half Men without Charlie Sheen
True, two and a half man sucked without Charlie
The guy who played Lenard was just tryna keep penny in his life
So Sheldon was stubborn until the end
At first I was upset. Now I'm happy thanks Jim.
One of the best endings for a series ever
He made the right call. Honestly, it should have ended with 10 or 11 at the latest. I absolutely loved BBT but it was turning into a relationship family sitcom rather than the nerdy sitcom that made it unique. I'm glad they finished it properly instead of just cancelling without closure.
Jim Parsons wanted to move on at Season 10 he thought he had done all he could with the character of Sheldon
When his dad passed away it made him really think of the important things in his life. He ultimately decided there was so much more fore him to experience outside of acting and TBBT
He was the star of this show....🤗🤗!!
I didn't even know he was a "backwards mechanic-likes-to-play-in-the-dirt" guy until I watched Big Bang Theory last year.
He knew he couldn’t expand on the character any further and knew it would be all downhill from there. Perfect example of not selling out just to maximise profit and shows that he actually cares about what the fans think and how Sheldon is portrayed
Interesting how two and a half men and tbbt are linked in this way. Two of my favourite shows.
Ends the most lucrative is his entire life... Only to receive zero offers after.
Brilliant!
And he walked away without having any financial worries except how to invest his money wisely.
but he's the executive producer AND the voice actor in the show.... he's doing pretty great for himself.... minimum work at the age of 50 while living a comfortable life???? you'd have to be crazy to not want that lol
I feel 12 years was quite a long time and was enough to carry on the lives of the characters and let us explore their lives and personalities we saw it all in that much time ❤
Playing a single character (especially such an iconic one) for so long surely is exhausting.
Another disadvantage is that whatever you do in the future, people will only see you as that iconic character.
Examples: Dr House, Harry Potter, Commander Steve McGareth, Dr Shawn Murphy, any superhero, etc.
The show wouldn’t be the same without Jim Parsons Sheldon character just like Two and a Half Men wasn’t the same without Charlie Sheen Harper.
Would have loved to see the show continue. It had an endless amount of story line possibilities
I would have loved to see Sheldon interact with Leonard and Penny’s baby and his transition into fatherhood himself!
Ngl, it was for the best, it felt like it was time, had a great ending and didn't feel forced like continuing could have (to create content they would have probably made mistakes and created problems for no reason). And without knowing they ended before Covid
Macaulay Culkin was actually offered the role as Sheldon and he turned it down . No one could have done it as good as Jim parsons 😊
Good on him, I felt like the show was starting to run out of ideas but was still very much a good show. It left us with good memories of it instead of us wanting to just end it already.
