I disagree strongly. The writers have done a fabulous job of nailing how "smart" people think and behave and respond. Again, I think you saw that more in season one than in the show now. Of the seven main characters, I think they still struggle with what to do with Raj, mostly because they boxed him in with the "can't speak to women unless drunk" angle. His interactions with Stewart (the comic store owner) make me feel like they're desperate for some sort of comic angle for him, because otherwise he really does become a bad stereotype (Howard's relationship with Bernadette works for me, probably because the writers have done a good job of making her just enough like his mom, and also because Melissa Rauch can do a good Carol Ann Susi impersonation.
