The Big Bang Theory...

The Sheldon Cooper of more recent episodes is a lot more annoying and completely different to the Sheldon of earlier seasons. And also those two extra women they added only made it a lot worse.

ok im going to be a hypocrite in saying that I love the show but follow with a list of flaws

I hate Bernadette, she adds nothing , Howard was a better character before her and a lot funnier ,
she grates on me , there is nothing good about her. everything she does is selfish and horrible, her voice is unnecessary.

Sheldon has lost all his oddities and became an ass. he is rude and self-centred

raj is good but they are doing nothing for his character. his girlfriend isn't suited to him at all

Howard has lost his character . his weirdness and pevertedness is what made him. now he is just going through the motions

penny. I think she can do better than Lennerd .

I am totally gone of leenerd .
he was the typical nerd that we all could relate to .he is a cheater and doesn't respect or appreciate penny
he cheated on penny , cheated on pria,

Amy I like. her character is good, I would like to see her get a bit more sexy and out of her comfort zone

I think penny should go out with raj, they would be great together, both very girly
shamy toghether
howard leave Bernadette for being a cow , then she changes and stops being a bossy manipulating cow, then rekindle their love
leave leenard alone for a while. maybe date alex for a while just to bring her into it

If we assume for argument's sake that TBBT will end after the 10 greenlit seasons, then the latest sequence of events makes a bit more sense. I don't get the moaning about changes to characters, though. I always thought a primary idea behind TBBT was to follow the progression of the characters from total nerds to at least something a bit less nerdy.

Another series that lasted ten seasons was Friends, and I think they made good use of the idea that some characters changed a lot (Rachel, Chandler), some a bit (Ross, Monica), and some hardly at all (Phoebe, Joey). In TBBT, though, all the main characters were lacking in some way i.e. there were no "normal" characters, so they're all migrating to the "centre" or "normality. (Penny now has a real future, and Leonard now has a life.)

Some upcoming changes have already been signposted e.g. I fully expect Bernadette - who's loudly proclaimed she doesn't want children - to be pregnant by the end of this season. Just as with Friends, the arrival of children is the beginning of the end for a "singles" sitcom.

Prediction: Howard will get a PhD ... a honourary one. :P

I find I'm more browsing on my phone than watching these days. It's not entertaining me much

christ you'd swear guns were being held to peoples head around here and their being forced to watch it, if only people had something like freedom of choice to watch what they want, and live happy lives and not find it necessary to constantly bitch and moan about some american series there not remotely being forced to watch, especially when that show is proactively seeked out and obtained every single week,

Imagine people being critical of something on a discussion board.

I havnt been enjoying this season much but I LOVED the Star Wars episode.

Used to love it but don't follow it so much recently and I was shocked at how poor it had become watching a recent episode.

Somehow the Penny/Leonard thing plus all/most of the men hooking up so early took most of the drama out of it from an early stage and I couldn't see where the series would go.

I'd actually have said that Joey was the most changed character in Friends. At he beginning of the show, he was written to fairly smart. Sure not educated, but smart. By the end, they wrote his character to be completely thick.

I think all sitcoms that came after Friends should be automatically axed after season 6... the recurring jokes get too old. Oh look, Penny is stupid and Leonard is smart, Sheldon is annoying, Howard is Jewish and Raj has a funny accent. They got away with it for the first few seasons but three seasons more is going to end up with flogging a dead horse.

The Big Bang has improved somewhat as it got older. The characters have all evolved and stopped being parodies in a way. Season 7, 8 and the first part of season 9 have been really strong actually, so to say it should be cancelled because Friends' later seasons weren't as good as the earlier ones, is a bit silly.

Sure if you don't like it yourself, fair enough, stop watching it, but its obvious there's enough people out there still enjoying it for it to be the second most popular show on TV (after The Walking Dead)...

Probably seen about 10 episodes in total. Didn't crack a smile once. Utter rubbish.

10 episodes, not a smile, wow, just wow. I am not saying wow, in that you should have smiled, though I do find it odd. I know people who hate it and that's perfectly fine, but why on earth would someone suffer through 9 episodes of something they hate so much and then watch yet another!?! mind boggling if true, but I suspect its not.

I don't like mrs browns boys, I have no problem admitting I have laughed at some bits I did happen to see flicking over or in other peoples houses. I have never watched a full episode, let alone 10, TEN!!!!.

I saw similar OTT stated hatred for breaking bad, where people were allegedly watching several seasons of "complete and utter crap". Dunno if these trolls cop onto the impression they give of themselves.

TBBT has got too samey for my liking, there was a good one the other night where they were all discussing where they would be if sheldon had not been in their lives, I see now it is "Series 7 Episode 11 – The Cooper Extraction". Friends did a similar thing where monica was still fat etc. I do not bother trying to follow it in order much, can flick on any episode and find it reasonably enjoyable.

I like stephen merchant in it,

I enjoy the show as a whole but the writers treatment of Stuart over this season is leaving a bad taste with me I really don't find the bullying of him funny in anyway at all.

That's one thing that always bugged me.

Jokes about him always wanting to commit suicide and how miserable his life is, it wasn't funny the first time and it's ridiculous 3/4 seasons on.

His character could work if he was a happy go lucky guy, but things just never work out for him. Would be far better than another joke about him being on anti-depressants
