An Un-unravelable Web?

[Nutz]

I don't agree with every thing they say, but some is valid. I just like reading all the different viewpoints. I think the male characters are quite unique, if you look at the whole of TV output, and these characters could be only the first step away from stereotypes. I'm also interested to hear why different people think the ratings stay high. I start by being annoyed by a boring narrative trajectory, and start to understand the conservative nature of TV programming.

I think the characters were unique in the earlier seasons, and maybe I could understand the article a little more, but it's hard for me to "see" what the article was talking about in the last couple of seasons. Unless they consider infantilizing men until they "become normal" by giving into a women and their desires unique. (and maybe that's just my own disgust at what they've done to Sheldon)

I think the ratings are staying high thanks to kids and tweens. They definitely have lost almost half of the "golden demographic" of 18 - 45 year olds, and I really can't see a whole lot of the 55 and older crowd having this show as a must watch every week.
