The only interesting character on BBT is
Sheldon, and there is already a show
about him. Every episode revolves around
Sheldon, even it it appears not too. The
other characters orbit him, and in doing
so none of them are interesting. They're
bland and stereotypical. All three of the
men have the same one line zingers in
every episode, directed at Sheldon.

The laugh track of the show drives me
crazy. It's just so overwhelming. Look
at Modern Family, no laugh track at all
and it did just fine.

You're right, the show is running out of steam
because the writers have run out of ways
to make Sheldon look even more quirkier
season after season. Frasier had it much
better. They had a strong and diverse cast
and other story lines they could pursue.
They got 2 seasons just out of Niles and
Daphney getting married.

2015 TV Actress list dated September 2015
Sofia Vergara: $28.5 million (comedy) {mostly from advertisements; Modern Family} TOP 10 BY DEMO
Kaley Cuoco: $28.5 million (comedy) {mostly from sitcom TBBT} TOP 10 BY DEMO
Julie Bowen: $12 million (comedy; Modern Family) TOP 10 BY DEMO
Ellen Pompeo: $11.5 million (drama; Grey's Anatomy )
Mariska Hargitay: $11 million (drama; Law & Order: SVU )
Julianna Margulies: $10.5 million (drama;The Good Wife)
Amy Poehler: $10.5 million (comedy;Parks and Recreation|finished)
Mindy Kaling: $9 million (comedy;The Mindy Project)
Kerry Washington: $7 million (drama;Scandal ) TOP 10 BY DEMO
Patricia Heaton:$7 million (comedy; The Middle)
Tina Fey:$6.5 million (comedy; Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt|Netflix)
Emily Deschanel: $6.5 million (drama; Bones)
Pauley Perrette: $6 million (drama;NCIS) TOP 10 BY TOTAL VIEWERS
Robin Wright:$5.5 million (drama;House of Cards|Netflix)
Zooey Deschanel: $5 million (comedy; New Girl)

Many of these shows have surprisingly low ratings, and Mindy Kaling's show was cancelled although Hulu picked it up as a streaming show.


Only one show produced a second actress on the list this year (Modern Family} . Mindy Kaling makes an obscene amount of money considering her TV show had very low ratings on Fox (never cracking 3 million in her 3rd season). Somehow she stayed on Fox for three years and then moved to Hulu.

Sofia Vergara is still ranked #1 for the 5th year in a row.


2016 TV Actress list dated September 2016
Sofia Vergara: $43.0 million (comedy) {mostly from advertisements; Modern Family}
Kaley Cuoco: $24.5 million (comedy) {mostly from sitcom TBBT}
Mindy Kaling: $15 million (comedy;The Mindy Project)
Ellen Pompeo: $14.5 million (drama; Grey's Anatomy )
Mariska Hargitay: $14.5 million (drama; Law & Order: SVU )
Kerry Washington: $13.5 million (drama;Scandal )
Julianna Margulies: $10.5 million (drama;The Good Wife)
Julie Bowen: $10 million (comedy; Modern Family)
Pauley Perrette: $9.5 million (drama;NCIS)
Patricia Heaton:$8.5 million (comedy; The Middle)
Emily Deschanel: $7.5 million (drama; Bones)
Zooey Deschanel: $7 million (comedy; New Girl)

Three new women this year (replacing Amy Poehler; Tina Fey; and Robin Wright)
Stana Katic $12.0 million (light drama; Castle)
Priyaka Chopra $11.0 million (drama; Quantico)
Julia Louis Dreyfuss $7.5 million (comedy; VEEP)

Stana has been on a modestly rated show for many years, and negotiated a great contract to do her 8th year despite only the series finale breaking 7 million viewers.

Priyaka Chopra is following in Sofia Vergara's footsteps where she gets the facial recognition of being on a hit US television show, but earns all her money in endorsements. She has lucrative deals in India.

JLD has been a hit now for decades, but she is only now starting to make some real money. Of course, her father is a billionaire.



Taraji P. Henson will probably show up on the list by next year.

Jennifer Lawrence felt she was overexposed so she took a little break, but she’s filming some movie with Leo DiCaprio now. Emma Stone is busy having a baby. Sandy is raising a family.

It’s weird that Angelina Jolie is number 2, she hasn’t acted in a movie for a while (she does have one coming soon though).

Sandra Bullock went past her expiration date
for the amount of talent she has. In three years
she'll be 60

And where is Kaley Cuoco with all her residuals from Big Bang Theory?

Her new show, "The Flight Attendant" had production delayed because of Covid. Since TBBT ended on May 16, 2019 and The flight Attendant premiered on November 26, 2020. She may have missed a paycheck for a year.

I doubt she gets $15 million in residuals, so wouldn't make the list.

Modern Family ended on April 8, 2020, and Sofia Vergara has a lot of income from outside of her TV show, so she remained on top.

Kaley Cuoco and Elizabeth Moss started professional work around the same time as child actors, but Kaley Cuoco became famous at a much younger age. So her net worth is over 3X as much.
