The show has taken a serious nose dive!

After the writers strike, this show has just not shown any real consistence of quality. The worst episode to date was The Loobenfeld Decay.

The show now lasts about 20 minutes or less, and gives the feeling of being badly produced. The sets are the same as ever, the apartment, the landing... This is just not good enough for an 8 pm slot. I doubt it will make it to a third season.

The character of Penny has changed, and oddly enough looks less interesting. Wolowitz and Koothrapalli in episode 11 play virtually no part at all in the show. A quite miss-able episode.
