I don't want it to stop
singhrobin-3988621 January 2017
The reviews of the other episodes say that they want this show to stop but why? You have these established characters that everyone recognizes and there are so many possibilities... Do something with them,I can't see this show heading in any direction, Leonard, Sheldon and Howard's project has become a side plot now and the only thing that has happened in this season is that they moved or rather exchanged apartments... Seriously? And the baby is irritating too to be honest. I honestly don't want this TV show to get canceled, I'm sure there are many people like me out there attached to this show and it's characters, but it's just boring now, I giggled thrice during the duration of this episode, that's it, there must be a lot of writers involved in the writing of this show and it's kind of disappointing what they come up with, so that's all I and a lot of people need, make it funnier.

Penny Penny Penny

Warning: Spoilers
Where to start with this one? Penny thinks Leonard isn't trying hard enough. She's convinced that she's a catch, a princess, and that she needs to be wined and dined forever, because let's face it, she deserves it. Not! The reality is that Leonard is probably the best boyfriend ever, and he's always apologizing, willing to discuss their issues, willing to change, always picks Penny first, accepts her white trash family, and even allows her to secretly get rid of all his nerd toys although he's not happy about it. Yet, in her delusional mind, he's the problem and he's not trying hard enough. How did the writers end up with this piece of nonsense?! In which reality does a tramp become a demanding princess and the real hero has to bend the knee? This just makes us hate the characters and nobody wins.

The show no longer cares
DrFreeman8614 February 2017
somewhere in season 4 i started to think that the show never took their own characters serious and therefore, under the pretense of "character growth" they drifted so far away from what was once the core of them that they all are now just some random sitcom stereotypes (the lazy husband, regular emotions and American style relationships, even Sheldon is now just some regular guy in a 20min conflict/argument in a boring sitcom relationship. This episode in particular was again terrible with these issues: it's all babies and relationships and frankly, no reason to watch except that "one is used to it". The show is now more like a soap opera with bad jokes and a laugh track, nothing of the wit and the freshness of the first seasons. If you had to summarize the entire show it would be something like this: being nerdy and scientists is just a terrible phase of your youth which you will grow out of and settle in some boring average life with some blonde waitress. if the creators don't care about it, why should i?

Getting boring...
tanvir-2559617 March 2019
I get it, Penny is out of league for leonard...but seriously, after passing 9 seasons and getting married, leonard is still so petty that penny even doesn't need to do her part in relationship and casually went away keeping Leonard sad? And still Leonard is the one to go for her? I mean, come on, this nerd left almost his life and his all action figures, bedroom everything for her and now she accuse him not doing anything? This is so monotonous and boring and predictable that it goes beyond boring and becomes annoying for fans...And the creators seem notto care the fans anymore. It always seems that fans get frustrated when penny plays same out of league cliché and Leonard also plays too helpless... As per the series, Sheldon also doesn't seem to have his nerdy touch in this episode rather repetitive but almost emotionless old cliché...

Made Me Sad
Hitchcoc15 November 2021
While there is a little bit of domestic humor here, I didn't laugh at one thing. Sheldon creating contracts is old stuff. Howard's utter laziness and lack of real creativity doesn't do much for me. If anything he proves Sheldon's blanket judgment of engineers. A very weak offering..
