Many close to the negotiations noted that the three stars could have gotten a bigger pay raise if they had all negotiated together like the ‘Friends’ cast did in 1996. Ironic, that ‘Big Bang’ is taking up ‘Friends’ old time slot, Thursdays at 8 p.m

很多理解他们薪金协商底细的人都认为，如果这三人能像1996年《老友记》剧组那样全组人一起跟东家谈价钱的话，断定能拿到更高的薪金。而讽刺的是，《生活大爆炸》剧组正将于周四下战书8点接替下《老友记》当年的播出时间档。
