    This is some of the most predictable comedy I've ever seen. I can literally know the joke before they say it (most of the time, at least). The number of funny episodes is staggeringly low. Like 5 episodes out of 24.

    On the other hand, there's something i noticed and appreciated about this season, and it's that the writers gave it a central theme (beginning mid-season and continuing to
    This is some of the most predictable comedy I've ever seen. I can literally know the joke before they say it (most of the time, at least). The number of funny episodes is staggeringly low. Like 5 episodes out of 24.

    On the other hand, there's something i noticed and appreciated about this season, and it's that the writers gave it a central theme (beginning mid-season and continuing to the finale). Penny's career predicament, her and Leonard's decision to get married, and how their decision affected Sheldon in the finale. It somewhat renewed my interest in the show and the characters (some of them, anyway).

    I just hope they don't resolve the Sheldon "cliffhanger" in the next season premiere, and then spend the following 23 episodes on their lame jokes. But they will probably do just that.

    So repetitive and mawkish I could only bear to listen to what Sheldon says, and even his scenes were embarrassing to watch. Watching Kaley Cuoco was actually good, because she's hot. Though, in truth, Melissa Rauch is more interesting to look at and watch.

    I utterly adore this series. Granted it milks every archaic nerd stereotype there is and blows it way out of proportion, but I get that is the point and I enjoy it for what it is. With that said, I found season 7 to be the weakest of the lot.

    Aside from Bernadette, Sheldon, and to a lesser extent Stuart, none of the other character get any real growth. Raj looked like he was getting
    I utterly adore this series. Granted it milks every archaic nerd stereotype there is and blows it way out of proportion, but I get that is the point and I enjoy it for what it is. With that said, I found season 7 to be the weakest of the lot.

    Aside from Bernadette, Sheldon, and to a lesser extent Stuart, none of the other character get any real growth.

    Raj looked like he was getting growth with his relationship with Lucy in season 6, a shame that went nowhere and simply acted as means to get rid of his mutism (which really was his funniest feature.)

    While I will say that Amy's character does grow that much this season as she did in previous seasons, she does however give a stellar performance and by far the most energetic of the lot.

    I get that there is a bit of hush with Howard's character this season, as season 5 & 6 did put allot of focus on him. So he is forgiven.

    Leonard is by far my least favorite character of the show. While he has grown as a character from who he was in season 1, he's just as whiny and it almost feels like he is forcefully playing out way to many geeky stereotypes. His performance feels a little underwhelming and unnatural most of the time.

    As for Penny: She is more or less the same character she was in the first season. Almost no development there at all, aside from the fact she is not as young and perky as she once was (still hot though.) I do feel her character is being severely under utilized and should be more than just eye candy.

    While there are many episodes that were decent, they just don't have the same carefree and spontaneous feel that previous seasons had. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they’re bad, just not as good as they use to be.

    Overall:
    I really do hope that the extra cash the leading cast now get will mean better performances. I really do not want to see a Simpsons effect taking place. Regardless, this is still one of my favorite sitcoms and while this season was a bit underwhelming, I still have faith it can redeem itself.

    Side Note to the producers:
    If you really want to get some legendary geek cameos, why not Patrick Stewart, Elijah Wood, David Duchovny, Sigourney Weaver (come on, the queen of Sci-Fi! It’s a crime that she hasn’t been on yet!) There are many, many others.
