It all started with a big bang and ended with a sizable paycheck.
The stars of "Big Bang Theory," a top-rated comedy with one season left, are the four best-paid actors on the small screen, according to Forbes.
Yes, they still are the best on the list despite the fact that their paychecks dropped a bit last year to boost their female co-stars' pay. They also negotiated a cut of the show's profits. 
The Forbes ranking has changed slightly since last year. New to the list: Andrew Lincoln, the existing lead of "The Walking Dead." Off the list this year: Fired "House of Cards" actor Kevin Spacey, who is under investigation for sexual assault.
Here's a look at the annual pay of top TV actors, with earnings estimated from June 1, 2017, through June 1, 2018:
1. Jim Parsons
"Big Bang Theory" star, 45, $26.5 million
2. Johnny Galecki
"Big Bang Theory" star, 43, $25 million
3. Simon Helberg (tie)
