Hello everybody!
The leaving of cast-members of long-lived and successful series is such a thing.
There were many examples where the happening of it led to typical effects.
As at "That seventies show" Eric (Topher Grace) and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) left the show they left a large hole , which the producers tried to fill with the figure "Randy" (Josh Meyers). Without success.
They tried to run on "The X-files" with "Reyes" (Annabeth Gish) and "Dogget" (Robert Patrick) Also without success.
The end of "Bonanza" came with the death of actor Dan Blocker who played the character of "Hoss". The last followed season had no resonance.
All this actors/actresses and their characters were simply to much "synonymous" with the shows at all. Their faces and interpretations/ performances are "melted" alone with the titles. And so the shows had no possibilities to survive.
Okay, there are also exceptions.
The sitcom "Night Court" became new castmembers after other ones leaved and the show moved on very successful.
The same was at "M.A.S.H."
But the reasons where that at "NC" Paula Kelly, Karen Austin and Ellen Foley leaved relative early and at "M.A.S.H." no one really liked Larry Linvilles "Major Burns" and Wayne Rogers "Trapper" was a good character but not really a favourite of the viewers so that the missing of characters was not so heavy and the introducions of the successors had good chances.
This possibilities I can not see at our "The Big Bang Theory". The characters of-especially Miss Cuocos "Penny" and Mister Parsons "Sheldon Cooper" are trademarks and the reasons and the warranties of the success (and glory) of the series.
I think if one-or eventually both- of them would really leave it would be the "Dolchstoß" for the whole show. There would be- from my POV- no possibilities to make good story-lines or to create new good topics.
At "That seventies show"-beside the denial of the fans regarding the last season- there where possibillities. At the earlier seasons "Jackie" (Mila Kunis) and "Fez" (Wilmer Valderrama) were only funny sidekicks and stereotyped figures. By the eliminated of "Eric" and "Kelso" the authors transfered the focus on the "next- characters" and they became more profile and personalities. But that was only possible because "Jacky" and "Fez" were more or less free.
That is not given by "TBBT". "Bernadette" and "Howard" are a married couple. What for topics could there be created? Nothing interesting, right? Raj? He once had the potential but I doubt that the authors would make great efforts regarding him.
If Sheldon would go, for what Amy would be further there? It would be clear than that her character was only introduced to be "nailed" at Sheldons side and to deconstruct his personallity. Without the figure of "Sheldon" on the show she would be an "emty cup" with no legitimation.
If Penny would go what would that mean for Leonard? If the writers would hold on his character he would find fast another girl.
And if Leonard would go,.....well Penny could rediscover her former dreams and goals and could realize how empty and hollow her life as wify really is. (I speculate, but I think that Penny have more fans than Leonard...........if Amy and/or Leonard would disappear , I personally would have no problems with it).
But no matter how it will come.......if Sheldon will go, or the "Lenny" would completely disappear.....in both cases the show would lost the two most appealing characters. And to introduce new characters would make no sence.
I am convinced that Miss Cuoco and Mister Parsons know this and behave accordingly.
Because their leaving would be for "TBBT"
