I prefer vintage hat fights, more absurd. I suppose I think that if I ask a few difficult questions myself(and get feedback on here), about the way we see changes(growth is a difficult one, like you say, because, who is to judge) in characters. So I think the characters were all changing, dependant on who they were interacting with, and events in their lives(just Sheldon has been through many events that would change his perspective; failures at work, robbery, sister gave birth,trip to Arctic,etc) . Peers have a great effect on each other, essentially socialising and normalising. Enter a relationship, and it's like two personalities overlapping each other. Get married, have children, change is inevitable, and monumental. But behind the show, what is going on in the writing room. Is Sheldon being dumbed down to make him acceptable to wider audience, or is it part of the plot, to diminish him, in order to make Leonard the hero they originally wanted. I find it interesting that no one person writes for Sheldon, it may be shared between several writers, several of whom may also be writing for Amy. ie: no one is wholly responsible for the integrity of a character. Truth is they're all ludicrously rich, and couldn't give a ****. Also wealth separates people from real life, which is where they'd find their 'edge'.

Just as Mike & Molly enters its final run, Chuck gets invloved in another network comedy idea.

A Stoner Sitcom

Nothing groundbreaking or new in this interview with Chuck.

http://www.marketplace.org/2016/02/24/li...tv-sitcoms

On his fear of running out of good story ideas:

"That actually happens on every series. You hit the wall periodically, and it seems to be in increments of six, I don’t know why. But there’s that moment when you feel like there’s no more stories to tell or none that are worth telling. It’s a kind of a quiet crisis moment, and then it passes. More stories happen."

Increments of six...? Interesting. Does he mean every six epsiodes? He has admitted to being a nervous wreak over the show at some points.

I think he means when a show hits 6 seasons, and considering his body of work TaaHM, BBT, MaM.. I think he's correct in the show is done. He should embrace that. Lord knows that 3-4 good to great episodes a year (like it is now) is nothing to be proud of. Although he does have all that money to cry into at night, so why not beat a horse that died years ago.

Chuck is in new territory. He's never had a show actually become a cottage industry. TBBT is probably the first sitcom to make as much from merchandise and licensing as they have. Not to mention record-setting syndication fees. Cutting that off will be difficult even if they're bereft of good ideas.
