I am a huge Big Bang Theory diehard. It's the one show I watch close to live every week on our TiVo.
That being said, I will tell you that I am becoming more and more irritated at the way the writing staff treats any female character not named Penny. From Sara Gilbert to Melissa Rauch (and simply dumping her character as a side bar in the middle of another episode), I'm just reaching the point where every time I see a female character, I instinctively cringe. The Plimpton Stimulation was a great example: turning Judy Greer's character into a slut in the final act was farce turned absurd. I'm not going to give up on the show, but it becomes just a little harder to buy into it.
