Leonard was, as I wrote previously just pleasant. They really didn't give him enough personality. The shower scene was probably his strongest but Sheldon was so outstanding throughout this first episode, that Leonard was almost forgettable. I agree that Howard also upstaged him.
What makes a person ship? Sheldon was mind blowing!! SIMPLE! and to top it off he was also boyishly good looking. His indifference towards Penny simply made for a more interesting starting point. The story arc could have been monumental because they had further to go! Leonard and Penny barely had a seasons in them. I do not know how the writers got away with keeping these two together, and revisiting it after they split them up, it still doesn't work.
