While I am a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory, now that it seems to be running endlessly I have come to be bothered by much of its content. First of all I always thought it was too scatalogical. Either Chuck Lorre or Bill Prady, or both, must not have been toilet trained as children since they seem to be obsessed with bodily functions in an infantile way which I don't think their characters would be. Also most of the males, while hilarious, are very damaged. Howard is sex-fixated and I would think would make a lousy husband for Bernadette. Sheldon is selfish and obnoxious to a degree that OCD doesn't excuse his behavior, and certainly makes him a poor marital choice for someone as in need of love as Amy. Leonard is beyond needy and Penny would be a fool to marry such an insecure neurotic. Raj, while also insecure, seems agreeable enough, but does seem conflicted about his sexuality. At any rate I still watch it every night and find the writing brilliant (except for the potty humor) and am not surprised it is so popular. Speaking of which I find their commercial in which viewers thank the cast for making their lives so much better way over the top in self-congratulations. If anything the cast should thank the viewers for making The Big Bang Theory popular enough to provide each of them with a million dollars an episode.
