Watched a few - no wonder adult Sheldon was such a mean, nasty and detestable creature - all his mother and Meemaw’s fault. Pandered to his every whim and never attempted to teach him to be understanding and accepting of others’ faults.

J P overrated!

Wow -expertly sums up my thoughts about TBBT👍 I’ve watched this programme from the beginning and love it, except for the Sheldon character. I had hoped, as the years went by, that the wretched man would understand life and social niceties from associating with his friends, alas to no avail😡 Hey ho - glad it is ending.

I hate the scriptwriters mission to continue - ad nauseum - to put that bloody Sheldon Cooper in the centre of most of the action. I wish the other five friends had more airtime. Admittedly some of Cooper’s awkward corners have been softened, but he is still a patronising, inconsiderate and downright nasty piece of work who on occasion really needs a slap. Hope this series will end soon. I know, I know - why do I watch it - well, I need to see SC get his comeuppance 😏

I wholeheartedly agree that the scriptwriters are obsessed with that nasty piece of work that is Sheldon Cooper. Ok , so he's quirky and clearly too clever for his own good, but a lot of the time he knows exactly the impact his words have on those around him. It must be very frustrating for the other actors ( though I accept they are well paid for what they do) not to be given the words and the chance to bring down the "nerk". Having said that, Amy sometimes has a damn good try!

Years of watching the Big Bang Theory has not blunted my hatred of Sheldon Cooper. I hang in there in the hope that one day he'll get his comeuppance, alas to no avail. To quote a previous comment, "Sheldon is judgemental, sanctimonious and frankly just obnoxious" - to which I add he is condescending, cunning and downright nasty. Surely after the years he has spent with his friends, the scriptwriters could temper this nastiness, without taking away his quirkiness.

Oh , you are so right! Series 10 is on the horizon and still, Sheldon Cooper ( what a nasty piece of work) has barely improved his social skills and rarely gets his comeuppance! I agree with the poster, it is about time the scriptwriters remember this is an ensemble show! Grrrr

Big Bang Theory is broadcast most days on UK television and I admit I watch it from time to time (despite being quite an "oldie"). It is funny and clever, especially the interaction between Howard and Raj, Penny and Leonard and the three girls. I find Sheldon irritating beyond belief, though I recognize he is the lynch-pin of the show. Indeed, sometimes, his one- liners are very witty. Unfortunately his humour is outweighed by the extremely selfish, condescending and occasionally downright nasty nature. It is said his friends are nasty and cruel to him - well sometimes deserves it - and he knows. Must also say, I love the way Sheldon's mother is written and played; in addition Amy is so good for him - though how she puts up with him, I don't know. Good heavens - it is only a sitcom.

Sheldon Cooper is so awful - annoying, thick - in terms of relationships and dominating. I blame scriptwriters - they insist on never letting him learn any social skills, despite the many years his friends have tried to"re-educate " him. Amy tries so hard to improve his interaction with others. I watch the programme for the other characters and not necessarily because of their contacts with that twerp. Long live Leonard, Howard, Raj , the 3 girls and of course Sheldon's mum.
