The telegenic nerds of The Big Bang Theory are renewed for their fourth season, but months ahead of their new time-slot debut, the show’s three main stairs want hefty raises : a 285-percent increase from $65,000 to $250,000 an episode. Big Bang Theory ‘s ratings jumped in season three to about 14.2 million viewers each week, nearly double its first season draw. Still, a six-figure raise is the kind of maneuver usually associated with a bona-fide frontliner like Charlie Sheen, not ensembles (unless you count Friends ). Is this trio in the wrong?
