Telly’s Take
While it has dropped in the ratings over the past decade, The Big Bang Theory is The Tiffany Network’s strongest performer in the important 18-49 year old viewer demographic. In addition, the sitcom remains one of the most watched CBS TV shows and continues to be a big money-maker in syndication. At the beginning of season 10, Kaley Cuoco laughed and agreed with Jimmy Kimmel, when he suggested 10 seasons were enough. Still, in October, we reported CBS was negotiating with the cast for an 11th season.
I feel confident saying The Big Bang Theory will be renewed for season 11, as long as the network and stars can reach an agreement. There’s still plenty of money to be made and this could end up being the longest running live-action sitcom in US television history. 3/20 update: The Big Bang Theory was renewed for season 11 and season 12 on CBS.

I love this show !!! always funny
last two seasons went down hill, I no longer watch it and wish they made space in schedule for something fresh and new… but if ratings still support to have it on the air then noone is forcing me to sit through it.
GREAT SHOW. SHOULD BE RENEWED
STILL A GREAT SHOW !! HOPE IT GETS RENEWED
