I'm new to The Big Bang Theory (I know! Where have I been??). I'll admit I'm not a big fan of sitcoms in general (or tv really) but I've fallen in love with the show! It's exceeded my other surprising favorite The New Girl somehow.
I've watched seasons 1-4 and it makes me laugh my ass off. I adore Sheldon. Howard's girlfriend/wife is adorable. Raj and Howard are good supporting characters. Leonard and Penny are great. The only thing that really bothers me is the chemistry between Leonard and Penny. I'm sure part of it is written in but I think the rest comes from the actors. In The New Girl there is almost tangible chemistry between Zooey and Jake's characters. In fact they were told to tone it down.
In Big Bang Theory I really want Leonard and Penny to end up together. I think they're cute together. But Penny's character is always lamenting she doesn't really have any passion for Leonard.. unless they aren't together. Which is either her characters inability to commit or the actors just really have no chemistry. Which is a shame. Because, in theory (har har), they both seem so awesome together in a long term married type of way.
I'm hoping I'm not spoiling it for anyone but I weathered their first breakup and somehow got through it *sniffle*. I got through his thing with Priya (who was totally not for Leonard). And Penny and Leonard are back together but another breakup seems to be looming. NOOOOO!!! Stop toying with my heart! Let them work it out and throw the actors in a room together with some silly string and crisco with fingers crossed hoping it brings out some chemistry. But don't break them up again!
