    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Better than seasons 4 & 7 so far, but still worse than seasons 1-3, 5-6. There were several funny portions of the first two episodes, but the amount of characters (8-9 leads is too many) trying to squeeze in a few jokes each is just obnoxious. Penny and Leonard's relationship has been based on her always being stupid, so it just seems like a waste to try and have her succeed at her new job. Lots of the recurring jokes are still there, but they aren't funny anymore. They squeezed in the "knock, knock" but in the wrong way, and they referenced the roommate agreement while driving back from Arizona but not in the right way. I also wish they'd get rid of Stuart and Raj because they just weigh it down even more. And Howard's mother? They don't need her either. If they had Howard move out and get married, why is her character still alive? They should just kill her off or have her move away.

    It's getting a bit frustrating to like this show with all these issues (and more). I don't know. I might stop watching at the end of this season. But still, it doesn't really matter what people think. "The Big Bang Theory" will be on until at least the end of the 10th season, with multiple seasons after that being likely (maybe up to 12-15). Ugh don't even get me started on the laugh track.    … Expand

    You can begin to feel a decline in quality during this season. Some episodes lack the comedy we are used to whilst precious few reach the heights we know this show is capable of. Just like season 7 plot progression is saved for the finale and is rushed which is disappointing. Some of the episodic specific stories provide rich entertainment and comedy, this just doesn't happen as often asYou can begin to feel a decline in quality during this season.

    This used to be an awesome show. Now the jokes are quite predictable. But even worse are the much to aggressive and frequent laugh tracks. Mostly out of place, too. What a pity...
