It's bright and obvious as a cartoon yet written with a clean, precise patter of jokes. It's also very well cast. [12 Dec 2011, p.45]

The funniest show on TV, I really would like to see Sheldon have a fling (as much as can be called a fling) with Penny they already have a odd connection (soft kitty) and others. Amy can go with Raj. Pria can go back to India

It still manages to give us laughs at the deadpan delivery of Jim Parsons, whose Sheldon Cooper we can't seem to get enough of.

Simon Helberg and Melissa Rauch have considerable chemistry as the scientist couple about to be wed, Raj is hilarious with his mutism, and Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki have the same amount of hilarity in their chemistry. Let's not forget Parsons and Balik, who are the weirdest yet funniest couple on television to date. A well acted cast and enough smart comedy in the writing to keep this comedy from atomic destruction. Yes, that was a corny pun. I'm not used to those.… Expand

I love "The Big Bang Theory" for seasons 1-4 but 5 really got me puzzled. The biggest change was that is Sheldon. The one I know and love is aloof, detached, and rarely gets emotional in any form.

This season genuinely sucks. Sheldon has gone from hilarious to annoying. Raj is one of the worst characters on television. Some of the storylines have become downright creepy. What happened to this show? Amy (Mayim Bialik) is quite possibly the only thing this show has left before itThis season genuinely sucks. Sheldon has gone from hilarious to annoying.
