I think they could have developed the characters, and let's face it that's what makes this show! Sheldon; in so many different ways, he's a writer's dream. I'd like to see more of the slightly crazy Sheldon, the obsessional, the battling with Penny, all of it. OCD(which Jim says he has), gets worse and can overtake peoples lives, after being robbed/burgled/attacked by dog/getting ill, or cured through CBT. I think they use A like you say 'to smooth off the edges', boring! Louise has suggested how Howard could develop, maybe he uses B to escape his mother, and becomes a gigolo! Raj, anything but the quagmire of his life. One of my Indian friends adopted an exotic Raj/Bollywood star persona. Like I think we know the cliched relationships are sucking the life out of the characters. Leonard, shoot him!
