I watched it a couple of times and I think I even got through an entire episode. The only reason I even tried to watch it is because my brother kept telling me how funny it was.

He was wrong.

It looks like I'm in the minority on this but I've enjoyed this season a lot more than last season. Not surprised that they killed off Howard's mom the other night (since the voice actress died), though I thought that they could have kept the character going somehow since Melissa Rauch did a great job impersonating it. And I do agree that Penny's short hair looks awful.

Kind of the original premise of the show, which it has gotten away from, the struggle for the nerd, Leonard, to attract Penny gave the show it's edge, that is pretty much gone now, but I think the Lorre machine moves on, the guy has an ability to feel the pulse of a certain majority of viewers, he finds these winners (like 2 and an half men) and get maximum mileage. Some of us seem to be slaves to these shows, they go on long after their original appeal is gone.

I still like it, never been a "nerd" and didn't watch the show at its inception, but me Madre told me how much she liked it so I started watching some years back.

Still like Penny, she can do whatever she wants with her hair I think she still looks great.

Aww spoiler alert, I haven't seen that one yet!

Sorry about that. I wasn't sure if I should've posted that spoiler or not.

Comedy is a tough vehicle to write, and even more difficult to keep consistently funny at time goes on. Shows like "All in the Family" and "Two and a Half Men" come to mind. It's the natural ebb and flow. Gets stale after awhile and folks need to know when to walk away and not let the flag get dragged through the mud.
I agree that it went off the deep end. On another note, the series finale of two and a half men was a complete failure. It was just shot after shot after shot at charlie sheen 3 years after it was all relevant. It was kind of annoying because I really wanted to see charlie harper come back and have a few lines. Instead they make it a stupid show that made no sense.

I've seen him full frontal from the very front row off-Broadway in "The Little Dog Laughed". I'm amazed I'm able to avoid thinking of that when I see him in something.

First two seasons were great, since then the only episode I liked was when they dressed up as Picard, Data, Worf, Borg.

Penny cutting her hair and suddenly looking like a butch older woman didn't help. Bernadette has to be one of the most annoying, unwatchable sitcom characters around, and that's saying a lot.

I tried once or twice. The only thing remotely entertaining about it were some of the lines the main character (Sheldon ?) gets off. Unwatchable.

It was good when they brought Billy Bob Thornton on for an episode earlier this year but after that it's been falling off.

Watch the reruns, and have the current season on DVR but haven't seen any of them yet.
It does take a few episodes of watching, for the characters to develop.
My wife hated the show for about four episodes, but became a fan.

I have yet to be able to stand watching it for more than 30 seconds.
