Also, Sheldon should have a pet turtle named Shelldon XD

A combination of Dick Solomon and Emmett L Brown, with a hefty splash of Tesla. His efforts to understand/take over the world and humanity (depending on mood) could be the focus of every episode, like Gilligan trying to get off the bloody island. He's already semi-cartoon, so the practical everyday feasibility of his existence shouldn't matter.

Make him a man who lives in his imagination, and have the other characters act it out. Have him learn about humanity slowly, but LET IT NOT ALTER HIS ESSENTIAL CHARACTER. He should always be the still, calm eye of the hurricane, observing all the pointless fluster, not drawn in and sucked under, spat out into a field of trash and humiliation.

The Sheldon we've been watching these past few years is a pitiable fool. He's almost unrecognisable. The taping reports from 8.1 & 8.2 have been illuminating. We were hoping they'd changed him back to his purposeful self, but we have to let him go. He's not our chap anymore. He's just a mockery and a cheap buffoon. It's bloody heartbreaking.
