The chemical equation in the off-network marketplace is just about perfect for Warner Bros. Domestic TV Distribution as it preps for what is sure to be a megabucks sale of rerun rights to CBS laffer "The Big Bang Theory."

The timing of the sale -- expected to happen within the next two months -- and the competitive dynamic among the likely TV station and cabler bidders adds up to a deal that could yield as much, if not more, than the estimated $4 million per episode in off-net coin that Warner Bros. is raking in from "Big Bang's" Eye skedmate "Two and a Half Men," which bowed in syndication in the fall of 2007.

I'm hoping for a TBS pick-up. They are easily the most loyal to their shows, and I'd love to see this show have one of those one-night a week marathons like they give to Family Guy.

I could see WNYW paying big bucks and pairing it with the recent pick-up of How I Met Your Mother. If its picked up by WPIX, it'll be paired with the obvious choice, Two and a Half Men.
