Getting a good paying, steady gig like a long running show is so random, it's like striking gold if it happens to an actor. Good on her for being conservative with her money.

Who the hell would have thought one of the highest paid TV stars would end up being Darlenes boyfriend David from Roseanne??

I know, out of all the pilots to be fail each year, it's crazy to land one that will basically set you up financially for life

she should be making millions over the years just from reruns

The Big Bang cast is thing of legends. I think the Friends cast did a similar thing!

I loved David when I was young and I absolutely only started watching TBBT because it was him. I thought it was too niche, but I guess the rise of the Marvel cinematic universe made it easy for them to transition from 'nerds' to 'geeks'.

I enjoy TBBT, especially since I don't have to think too hard about it.

But what surprised me is how much my grandparents enjoyed the show and they are definitely NOT nerds/geeks/whatever.

I watched it until the end, which is an uncool thing to admit, but it is definitely that sort of mindlessly enjoyable show you can run in the background.

I started watching because it reminded me of uni (I literally had a conversation similar to the Superman/arms of steel convo with a guy who was really into comics at uni) but I kept on just because it was enjoyable enough, like you said.
