Am I right in thinking that prequels, sequels and spin offs are often never as successful as the original. Thinking the sequel to 2001(Kubrick), Joey from Friends, The Connors? Are CBS just trying to milk it, the Golden TBBT Cow?
I also wonder about typecasting. Not only for actors, but in one of his vanity cards(YS), CL talks about desperately wanting to work on a drama, but CBS being against it. He already produces dramas that are lightened by humour. With YS I think there was some interest in how he became the way he is. I'm not sure that would work with Penny. So If they got adventurous, and created a parallel universe to TBBT(Sliding Doors scenario), that might work.
