And they did it right. According to the Hollywood Reporter (although EW.com broke the story first), Johnny, Jim, and Kaley took paycuts down to $900,000 per episode, and Simon and Kunal got raises to the same level. Mayim and Melissa are still not under contract, but the other five re-did their contracts to give them a healthy bump in pay. And of course, the back-end profits on this should be astronomical (pun intended).

For not 1 but 2 more seasons. Season 11 and 12 here we come!

Sweet!!

Thanks for the Good News!

I had started to feel the way parents must feel when the realization hits that this-is-the-last-year before their kid goes off to college.

Glad to have the reprieve.
