TBBT is not the "Sheldon Show". It is the "Lets trash Sheldon Show". I would rather Sheldon was a supporting background character as long as he retained his dignity and pride and sense of self. The alternative is horrendous.
So it is actually the "Leonard and Amy show" . They are two characters who get a pass for everything and anything under the sun, because they choose to wallow in misery and self pity and play victim.
Meanwhile Howard, Sheldon and Penny, despite not having an easy life, choose to be funny, confident and proud of themselves. So they are always dumped upon. Sheldon gets trashed the most, because he was the most self assured and independent character out of those three.
Nothing much to say about this show, except for the faint hope that it will finally end next year. On the other hand, it is quite possible they may continue to be a ratings success. But then again, how hard is it to appeal to the lowest common denominator ?
