    TV's: "The Big Bang Theory" what happened?

    When and why did they turn this charming funny show into a whiny, melodramatic, boring soap opera?

    Every time I see the show it's full of sad moody characters crying about relationships.

    They jumped the shark about a year ago and nobody told 'em.

          It started when Penny cut her hair and stopped working at the Cheesecake Factory.

              The show has always been about relationships.... Leonard and Penney, Sheldon and Amy, Howard and Bernadette, and then Rajesh and what ever piece of ass he can get.

              I still think it's funny.

              I also like Modern Family.

                      I think you mean "Now the show is about relationships...." not 'always.'

                      In the first couple seasons the guys were trying to get laid and having comedic adventures, but now they are all saddled and turned into whiny boring bitches. Such is life. I guess nothing good lasts forever.

                          Yeah as soon as I saw the short hair I knew they were done. LOL Some chicks can pull that look off but this Cuoco chick has a dyke-y dogface.

                          But they know they fucked up. Now they have Penny saying she hates her job making 200k and wants to quit and go back to working as a waitress at the Cheesecake Factory. Totally believeable.

                              fact is most shows can't go beyond 2-3 seasons. after that, god knows what kind of lame shit they will attempt to keep it going. even then, the biggest thing the show had going for it in the early seasons was just penny being hot. sure, it was funny sometimes too but how many geek jokes can you make? personally i prefer silicon valley to big bang theory but in the early seasons penny was some nice eye candy.

                                  They lost an average of a million viewers in season 8. They had been going up and up and took a small dive. I don't see season 9 stats out yet

                                          I read somewhere that the actress who plays Penny negotiated her way into becoming the highest paid actor on the show, and in the deal her character was to become smarter and more mature hence her entrance into the pharma industry. I guess she didn't want to be typcast as the typical Tv-show dumb blonde.

                                                      When they started raising her public profile and the public found out what a controlling loopy mother the horse face actress is things went downhill.

                                                          it always sucked, i really didnt understand what all the hype was about. Cookie cutter boring sitcom. And in general, you cannot add drama to comedies, it's a mix that does not work.

                                                          Proof: Seinfeld, funniest sitcom ever made. Everything was being made fun of, no drama whatsoever. Loved that show.

                                                          More recent brilliant comedy shows (also again without soap opera drama) are Workaholics and Its always sunny. These are hilarious.

                                                          Every comedy with drama sucks because that means it is taking itself serious. Which is killing for comedy.

                                                              Maybe they should have paid the show's writers more. That's a thought.

I've just mostly lost interest in it, since (ugh, this is so strange), Penny cut her hair. She went from cute / funny / sexy to just one of the guys on the show. Not that her sex appeal was the only reason to watch, but my interest in the show dropped at the very same time she did the chop.

Sitcoms are a fake, made-up fantasy realm, not 'reality'. So when Penny starts saying "I've worked at the Cheesecake factory for seven years now..." or the Indian dude says "I've not had a girlfriend for seven years..." I wonder wtf is wrong with the show? Penny hasn't been working as a waitress for an actual seven years. It's ridiculous. Keep her as a waitress forever duh.

                                                                                  The show also went downhill when the Indian guy started talking to women.

                                                                                                  Then out of nowhere, they finally connect and she is a highly paid sales rep, where every prior season she can barely handle waiting tables. Not relatable, or remotely realistic.

                                                                                                          Proof: Seinfeld, funniest sitcom ever made. Everything was being made fun of, no drama whatsoever. Loved that show.

                                                                                                          More recent brilliant comedy shows (also again without soap opera drama) are Workaholics and Its always sunny. These are hilarious.

                                                                                                          Every comedy with drama sucks because that means it is taking itself serious. Which is killing for comedy.

That's where, usually at the end of the episode, someone goes, "I've learned something today..." and it gets all sappy for about a minute. That 'awww' moment. It's an old FCC and Morals Doctrine from the 1950's! And still you see it in every single show, including cartoons like Family Guy and South Park. Everyone in the Industry calls it the Moment Of Shit (MOS) and you can always, always spot it. LOL

Sitcoms are a fake, made-up fantasy realm, not 'reality'. So when Penny starts saying "I've worked at the Cheesecake factory for seven years now..." or the Indian dude says "I've not had a girlfriend for seven years..." I wonder wtf is wrong with the show? Penny hasn't been working as a waitress for an actual seven years. It's ridiculous. Keep her as a waitress forever duh.

                                                                                                                  The show also went downhill when the Indian guy started talking to women.
                                                                                                                  The thing is, I bet if they stayed the same and Raj couldn't talk to women, Howard was still horny and single, Leonard Chasing Penny who still worked at the Cheesecake Factory and Sheldon just went on being annoying Sheldon just as many people would bitch about the show saying, "They just keep rehashing the same thing over and over."
