My computer appears to be having a fight with this forum's software at the moment, so I can't usefully join you fellows in the grumblebox, but I presume yet another chunk of artificially Awwww-flavoured pablum has emerged from the maw of CBS?
I saw a screencap of Sheldumb perched like a berk on Santa's knee. Really? The man who doesn't celebrate the ancient pagan festival of Saturnalia? If TPTB have decided to just ignore the early seasons they could at least keep track of their own episodes...Didn't Sheldon loathe Santa in Season 6?
I never liked Sheldon's "pure Disney magic" line in Spaghetti Catalyst. It was a little too obvious as jokes go, and very OOC. But it was one short scene in one episode out of three seasons, and thus the joke stood out as a joke. Now he's in a permanent state of either needing his diaper changed or breathing out lines from frustrated housewives' fanfiction...
It's certainly not funny.
Who IS this gormless clown and what have they done with Homo Novus?
He's gone from being one of the great minds of his generation to someone who should have 24 hour care and a swinging tire in their quarters.
Ruprecht essentially.

I feel like a great Kumbaya filter descended on this show after Season 5, and I don't know why. Previously they managed to have genuinely touching, unforced moments - when Howard and Raj make their peace over Howard's "distraction", when Sheldon tries (and fails) to comfort Leonard, when Sheldon caves and sings Soft Kitty to Penny, the Spock napkin (and numerous other S/P moments), when he gives Howard his spot on the couch etc.
This is FALSE sirs! FALSE! And they should know better.
Dreadfully disappointed.
