We've said this before elsewhere, but that just indicates they need more strong female writers. I'm sure Sara Gilbert could have taken on that role. I've always loved her cynical, acerbic wit. No wonder she walked! There is something about the writing of TBBT that indicates a pre-feminist mentality. I also find it disconcerting how they keep the men, adolescent. Maybe that indicates a pre-adult writing mentality! I read that Mayim said, she knew women like Amy! Has anyone in the real world met someone like Amy? Because I find her creepy, clingy, and she smells of her dead grandma's clothes!(not a look, or personality anyone would choose, I'd have thought!).
That's just standard sitcom 101. Easy to write and lots of previous scripts to recycle. That's what makes the show's direction so depressing. It was fresh & unique for about three seasons then they just got lazy. It's now just about silly men and the women who love them anyway. Pablum for the dumbed down viewers. Yawn.
