Kaley Cuoco Will Miss Multiple Episodes of The Big Bang Theory with Her Injury

Bad news for us geeks yearning to see our favorite girl in action again. Last weekend, Kaley Cuoco was hospitalized after breaking her leg in a horseback riding accident. The powers that be at The Big Bang Theory wrote her out of the about to go before the cameras next episode, but now it looks like she will miss multiple episodes of the series.

Bummer. The way her character, penny, plays off the guys, particularly Sheldon (Emmy winner Jim Parsons) is one o the brightest spots on the series. She is hot, too.

I find the timing of her accident interesting. The Big Bang Theory signed the most lucrative syndication deal in television history in late sprig. TBS has contracted to pay $ 2 million per episode for seven seasons worth of episodes ($ 2 million/ episode x 24/ episodes per season x 7 seasons=$ 360 million.) to begin airing during the 2011-12 season. The three main stars of the series have negotiated new contracts in the wake of the syndication deal which grants each $ 250,000 per episode this season (the fourth), $ 300,000 per episode the fifth, and $ 350,000 per episode in the sixth and seventh seasons, as well as .25% of the lucrative backend deal.

While I cannot quote you the terms of their new contracts, I am certain there are clauses within them regarding maintaining the actors’ physical appearances and well being. In other words, they are probably prohibited by contract from certain hazardous activities. There was a recent fear over the effect Charlie Sheen’s possible incarceration for holing a knife to his wife’s throat would have on fulfilling Two and a Half Men’s multi-million dollar two season episode order. Ad star behavior can be devasting within the economics of television production. Eve insurance covering contract breaches do not often prevent major lawsuits over the cash.

Bottom lie--betcha Cuoco will not ride another horse until The Big Bang Theory ends its original run.

All Time Favorites # 29--Kaley Cuoco

Kaley Cuoco is a relative newcomer to my attention or else she might have ranked higher. Her previous most high profile television roles were on 8 Simple rules and Charmed. Both are shows I missed the boat on. I know her best as penny from The Big Bang Theory.

I am a relative newcomer to that sow, as well. My first experience with it was the 2008 Christmas themed in which Sheldon has to buy a gift for her out of social obligations he could not care less about until she gives him a napkin Leonard Nimoy autographed. It was such a weird, geeky moment. She was giving him a gift with the same attitude she would give a young nephew rather than a grown man . Sheldon’s struggle to hug her in gratitude against his aversion to human contact was so childlike, as well.

Okay, I am a nerd and a science fiction geek, but I do hope I have graduated beyond such awkwardness. I would like to think so, but it does bitter sweetly hit close to home.

Cuoco enjoys horseback riding, plays the drums, and isa nationally ranked table tennis player. She has landed three movie roles for the next three years, so it looks like her star is rising. Have I mentioned she kinda hot, too?
