SRAM Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I see the changing of the show from a story about the group and their dynamics to the Sheldon Show that is what is really killing the show. Some of the best episodes involve the group interacting and each persons quirks contributing to the comedy. The writers have repeated some themes but they now seem centered around Sheldon instead of the group and haven’t been funny. As an example, most people liked the scavenger hunt, so why wouldn’t a group paintball be funny, it could end up with couples against couples or boys verses girls, Bernadette being so competitive and Penny’s shooting experience giving the girls the edge. They could also do another road trip or even for once all go out to dinner together, Penny actually eating with them instead of serving them, I think it would be funny to hear Penny commenting on their service for a change. Anyway the bottom is go back to group dynamics and drop this Sheldon Show path they have now taken up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really agree Lenny getting engaged was really the end of their long story arch. TO me the biggest loss was the group dynamics. And the loss of the original comedy. I used to be in stitches with this show from 2007-2011. Now its just giggles. I totally agree! Now those giggles are getting rare and far between. The last time I truly laughed was the episode where Sheldon kept hurting himself. You know, the one where he dropped a rock on his foot, kicked the rock with his other foot. Then slipped and hit his head on the water cooler. After all that, he hurt his hand attempting to give Burt a Captain Kirk karate chop. That episode was down right funny, not just because Sheldon hurt himself. It would have been funny had any of the cast did that, but Jim pulled it off great.

Sheldon is the only one not taking vacations and it's only mentioned because President Siebert really wants him to take his vacation. For all we know, Sheldon could now be taking those vacation days and are also not mentioned..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, Sheldon has to be forced to take vacations. It takes an act of Siebert for him to take vacation days. In fact, I think he took a sabatical when he left on the train ride.

I get some giggles in each episode, but not the hardy chuckle from the earlier years, I'll continue to watch til the end and be sad when it happens. The laughs now days are few and far between compared to the early seasons when there was LOL moments in almost every episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very dominated by Bernies Birth, Shamy's wedding. That is fine. But i guess it is the natural course. The show is dealing with more real world issues now. Like Relationships, Marrage, Babies e.t.c. Some have outgrown or simply tuned out. Say this though if this TBBT premiered in 2007. I would of never watched. I thought the best episode of the season was The Bitcoin Entanglement. So they are capable of delivering good episodes every now and then. But the ratio of gems to fillers of this series maybe filling out fast. With next season probably the last. Wouldn't it be a meaningful way to end this season if Penny and Leonard go on a short vacation and when they return Penny thinks she may be pregnant? Can't think of a better way for LENNY fans to close out this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah “killing the show” was too strong a remark, it should have been more like “killing how funny and enjoyable the show was previously”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of a better way for LENNY fans to close out this season Penny actually being pregnant? Maybe disappearing a lot on the wedding day (to vomit...), making Amy angry at her matron of honor and Bernadette gloating saying she should have chosen her. Then she is restraining from vomiting throughout the whole ceremony and running to the bathroom afterwards, Leonard follows and asks if she's okay and we find out she is pregnant (not telling the gang yet because it's too early). Not that I have anything against your offer, just making another one Edited February 20, 2018 by bfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole time only Penny and Leonard know she's pregnant. At the same time, we can see Sheldon freak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
