The ever expanding BANG.

[Tuesday Pajamas]

And they didn't get added to the credits until season 5, right?

Yeah, they didn't become show regulars until Season 5.

They seem to be so loved and such great pals with cast and crew thats there's a tendency to exaggerate a tad. To be fair, I think they should paid more now as they pretty much own the writers, or at least Shamy do. And Shamy is all about Amy, not Sheldon. Regardless of how they market it. The whole 'Sheldon has grown' mantra is a load of old bollocks.

Although I'm suspecting that MR and MB want a big raise anyway and they have sway now, the others have to take a cut if they want another 48 pay checks of £900,000. So if I had to loss 10% or get nothing, I'd take a 10% cut as well. Warner obviously don't want to fork out for 7 cast members at those numbers. They have also had to give them a new show, in the prequel of Sheldon's early years as an extra bribe.
