Sheldon was relatively normal in S1-3 compared to how he is now, even with his phobias and asexuality back then. There are plenty of other TV characters who have OCD /germ phobias or both. I was watching Monk the other day and it struck me just how Sheldonesque he was. Except every time that show threatened to 'cure' Monk, they found a way to return him to his core personality.
Sheldon wandering around clutching teddy bears over the last two seasons is beyond a joke and it drives home just how much the showrunner hates him. Leonard was SUPPOSED to be the star and Sheldon will keep paying for that. Too bad Leonard has only a fraction of the charisma. And the creepy girlfriend who is turned on by baby powder is just another kick in the proverbial.
