Beejoli Shah · 10/14/13 01:51PM

It costs $326,260 to air a 30-second commercial on The Big Bang Theory. Breaking it down further, that is $10,875.33 a second.

The Big Bang Theory makes almost 2 million times more than you at any given moment.

Dan Harmon Just Compared Community Season 4 To A Serial Killer

Beejoli Shah · 10/08/13 05:11PM

Dan Harmon is a colossal dick. Any modicum of talent he maybe possesses is besmirched by his colossal dickishness in every other gross pig way. He was such a colossal dick to work with, NBC fired him off of his own show (when your show is airing on a network that was run into the ground by hard-partying douchebag Ben Silverman, and even they won't look the other way on your cocaine-snorting workdays, you know you're a dick). Then, when they hired him back, instead of projecting a deservedly smug image, Harmon compared the season not run by him to watching his family "get raped on a beach." Pleasant.
