My biggest pet peeve about this show is the really ridiculous canned laughter in the background every 30 seconds or so. I don't why it bothers me so much but it makes me want to bash my head against the wall whenever I hear it. I get it.

[ohhhmydarling]

For what it's worth... the laughter isn't canned. I went to a taping. It's real.

What?!

lmao shit

I bet he would have been Johnny's role.

But still, good choice. He's way too weird to have ever been happy on that show.

I can see him in Simon's role more so tbh but yeah he would've spiraled I think. :[ Good thing he didn't do it.

[stoppelhopser]

Since Simon is by far the most able actor on the show, that would have been a pitty. I see him as Leonard, but not as Howard.

I thought of Wil Wheaton's role playing himself, though I think he only had a few appearances.

[sick_of_me03]

Smart choice. I watched a couple of episodes with some (white) friends once and I thought it was awful. I don't get the appeal.

IKR? ONTD likes to shit on it and I don’t even like the show but I think this cast has the least amount of strife for any show on air, considering how long it’s been on. All that has happened is Kaley’s random marriages.

[dreamdate]

Well, mostly everyone in that cast was not a recognizable face when it started. Having Mac on there would have put the spotlight entirely on him. Secondly, not everyone cares about banking millions. I think he knew it would not be a good fit, no matter how successful the show is and how little attention the cast gets. I don't think it would have went down the same for him if he had come on to the show.

[onyxrose81]

He wouldn’t have been happy and I can’t seem him on there. Good choice.

"Its stars are among the highest-paid actors on television, earning as much as $1 million an episode."

There is nothing that warrants this kind of money, NOTHING, per episode, not even if they were actually great actors (they aren't bad but they aren't great either) , come on, i can admit i liked the first 2 seasons but then it became a mess.

Nothing but the insane ratings it gets

[ch33rylips]

It's probably just a mindless show they enjoy, 2 and half men had huge ratings too and that was dumb af.
