TBBT started off as a decent, fairly humorous show, the type that you watch at the end of a long day to relax and unwind. However, the later seasons have been hit hard with a major case of Seasonal Rot.
One of my biggest complaints about this series is the increasingly stale humour as the show continued - they were abusing the laugh track over barely funny jokes. Since this is a sitcom, one of the aspects that I feel must never be compromised is humour.
I personally feel that for character development, Sheldon and Howard received the most. This was surprisingly well done. However, I don't really buy the Leonard-Penny relationship. They are simply not compatible - they don't have similar interests, they never seem to have real passion in their relationship anymore, and overall I find this one of the least entertaining aspects of the series. Emily was a character with lots of potential but they overhyped her "dark" side.
Anyway, the reason I feel that this series is milked dry is because one of the fundamental aspects about it - its humour - has been neglected over later seasons. It used to be a good show, now it's a boring but OK show. I just wish they would wrap things up already.
Milked to death
