American TV is almost exclusively beautiful people, it's not like that in the UK, we have normal looking actors as well. I find TV full of beautiful people extremely bland, there's little real chemistry regardless of their looks.
But I just bristled with excitement when I discovered Sheldon and Penny. They had real spark, something natural that you can't write into a script. The problem is, it wasn't in Chuck Lorre's and Bill Prady's plans. They knew the 'appeal' of those two attractive actors was enough to bring in the punters. So they stick them with some 'relatable' and supposedly 'plain' characters and they have a recipe for success. The perfect wish-fulfilment fantasy. In the meantime, something rare is just wasted because it got in the way.
It wasn't JUST the actors either. The way Penny is written... the sweetness that she shows others is a lot deeper and warmer than the other females and this is what Sheldon craves. Penny could also learn from Sheldon about using her looks to get what she wants from life. There's so much that works. People always talk about the sex as too much of an obstascle, but that's the same with any woman Sheldon gets involved with.
Personally I think its way too late for Shenny, some may disagree but I think they have spoiled it now. They could put him with someone inbetween Amy and Penny and that might work but not Amy.
