It is never easy to say goodbye to our favorite sitcoms, and it must be difficult enough for people who also make them. After working for long hours together for years, everything ends, and the creative families of distribution and the team are dispersed to the winds. On a series as long as “The Big Bang Theory”,

who lasted 12 seasons
And as many years, saying goodbye had to hurt, but it was made all the more painful because it was so sudden. The show was still very popular when it ended in 2019, which left many fans to scratch their heads and wonder why it was finished, but the star Jim Parsons, who played the nervotic genius Sheldon Cooper,
was simply enough.
When the time came to renegotiate new contracts for the show in the future, Parsons has decided not to renew, shocking his co-stars because the creator Chuck Lorre did not want to continue the series without Sheldon in his center. This has led to hard feelings between Parsons and Co-Stars Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki, and in the oral history book of Jessica Radloff “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series,” Galecki explained what it was to be “blinded” by the decision of Parsons.

Galecki was shocked that Parsons did not discuss first to leave with his co-stars
Instead of continuing with more seasons, like the cast origin, things ended with season 12 because of parsons moving away, and Galecki was devastated that it was not more a conversation:

“I was shocked. We were simply blind that day. And not necessarily shocked by Jim’s decision, but that he had not had this conversation with his casting comrades to prepare us. So yes, it could have been better managed. We are a family; I have a conversation. And I am not even unpleasant with the management of Jim.”
Naturally, everyone felt a little burned on “The Big Bang Theory”, especially since Galecki and Cuoco were released in real life and separated alongside their characters. It is also understandable that they feel excluded from the decision to end the series. In the end, everything worked and the casting went to other projects, but things were very tense among the group formerly tight for a while.

Would a conversation have changed something?
Although it seems that “The Big Bang Theory” could have continued to run for years if Parsons had decided to stay, it is unlikely that the show had ever seen a season 13. Not only was Parsons was ready to be finished with Sheldon Cooper, but Simon Helberg, who played Howard, was also ready to spend and start the next part of his career. Everyone felt exhausted and had started working on other projects that made the shooting of a difficult sitcom, so “The Big Bang Theory” would probably have finished with season 12, whatever happens.

It would have been good for Parsons to discuss his feelings and her plans with his co-stars before deciding to leave and thus finish the show, but honestly, it looks exactly like Sheldon could do. In fact, the whole test sounds like the kind of problem that the gang could face “The Big Bang Theory” in a little life imitating art. Faursons would eventually return to the franchise to make some stories and finally appear on the prequel series “Young Sheldon”, but he found it uncomfortable and bizarre and will probably not resume the role. Well, at least we have 12 whole years of geek gags and “bazingas” to appreciate.
