Not just that but I found the tone difference between the seriousness of Lenny and the silliness of Sheldon (won't even get into how jarring the Bernie scene was) just didn't do anything for me. For a dramady the Lenny scene is fine but I thought TPTB said it was supposed to be a show of one-shot humor. It's hard to know what's expected of me as a viewer given that TPTB keep changing the product. Moreover, the Lenny plot really emphasized the silliness of Sheldon's plot (which really gave me a flashback to Data on Next Generation learning about humor). I don't know, maybe I'm last on the train about this one but this episode really gave me the feeling that they had one plot and no other original ideas and so copied and pasted the sub-plots taken from other shows.
