The Big Bang Theory stars are at odds with producers over their contracts and it's delayed the start of Season 8. But this isn't the first time stars have battled their own shows.

Stars Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting are said to asking for "Friends money"—up to $1 million an episode—while costars Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are also said to be angling for raises. Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch already signed different deals. CBS and creator Chuck Lorre don't seemed worried about the holdup—especially given the fact that the network already renewed The Big Bang Theory through season 10—but there's still enough impasse to prevent a delay in production.

So where does this dispute fit with other famous TV feuds? Check out the gallery below.
