The other relationships make more sense to me and not because Penny is pretty just because they way they were developed made me believe them more.
To me the show is a combination of Frazier and Perfect Strangers. In the Frazier dynamic, Sheldon is is Niles and Leonard is Frazier. On that show you needed the extreme of Niles to make Frazier be somebody to whom the audience could relate.
Perfect Strangers had that weird pairing of guys living in an apartment near the sexier girls. The show suffered as soon as those relationships started too.

i liked frazier too, another one that many epsiodes stand up to repeat viewing, not sure if i've seen every epsiode though. the show was vrey clever.
you hit the nail on the head, back to bbt, the episodes where they got laid/scored were fantastic, when leonard snagged peeny, sara gilbert banging around, penny being a slut, <-loved that.
but as a prop for comedy, a single wolowitz was fucking spot on for some funny & unique television.
