Other Comedy Shows

[Wisp]

Just in general the characters of Community are vastly superior to the ones in TBBT due to the emotional and comedic intelligence of the cast. They can change from hilarious to heartbreaking so easily. I feel like Sheldon had the potential for this in early TBBT, but I think the writers are scared to end a scene or episode with a poignant, character-grounding moment without resorting to an insensitive, dumb joke. Sheldon had a strange vulnerability behind his eyes, which was never used for any other time than when he was proved "wrong". See Raj's "Later Losers!" in season 6 after his little rousing speech to the comic book store customers. I was just thinking "aw, Raj, that was nice." when he ended it with a twatty "I've got a girl now" sledgehammer line. Ruined a sweet moment completely. Fuck off TBBT writers.
