Not only are they perfectly matched physically, their personalities work so well together onscreen. Sheldon can be all kinds of arrogant and crazy and Penny can make it funny, diffuse it or knock it right back with a look or a few magnificently timed words. This is something Shamy will never have. Amy is different, she's moodier and less fun when she's flippin out. There's always a feeling that Sheldon needs to dial it back with her which defeats the purpose of his character. Penny gives as good as she gets without losing the humour. Why they thought Lenny and Shamy was a better choice will be a mystery I'll never unravel. One day someone on the show will admit that Shenny would have been more interesting, you wait! It will happen. But they can spin on it!
