I pretty much agree with everything Joe (Hass) says. I think the main reason I like the show so much is because the producers/writers do a pretty perfect job of capturing scientists as they really are. I should know. I worked among them for about 30 years. For example, I giggle whenever Sheldon makes note of the fact that Howard doesn't have a PhD.
Secondly, the addition of the women really put the show at the top of all sitcoms currently on the air. They're just as much fun to watch as the men, adding a "completeness" to the series. No surprise at all that it's such a hit in syndication. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Hass Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2012 8:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] And the latest celebrity to divorce after authoring a book on family and relationships is... While I understand Mr Coughlin's attitude, I strongly disagree with it. I've related to Sheldon from episode one. I think the show has managed to find the right point between laughing with them and laughing at them. As for Mr Marousek's comment: someone put together a mix of Kaley Cuoco's lines in the first season, and it was obvious the writers had no clue how to write a female character. It was more obvious with Sara Gilbert, and by season three I was ready to bail on the show after the writers made Bernadette disappear, only to have Howard mention as an aside that he broke up with her. When the season ended with Sheldon meeting Amy, I was extremely nervous that this was not going to end well. But over the last two-plus seasons, the writers have found the ability to really flesh out Penny, as well as create two solid characters in Amy and Bernadette that have flavor and personality. Mayim Bialik didn't win that Emmy for nothing. If I can make a recommendation: find an episode with a strong Penny/Sheldon arc. The show is starting to go back to Penny/Leonard, which is so much like Ross and Rachel that I keep waiting for Matt LeBlanc to make a guest spot.
