First 5 seasons of big bang were solid sitcom comedy

I have a weird relationship with TBBT... I started watching it from at the start before any of the hype or backlash could influence my view on it.

The thing is... the first few seasons the core male cast members are great, but as the seasons go on they "Flanderize" (become one-note stereotypes) like Sheldon getting more OCD, Howard getting more mean spirited, Raj being totally defined by his shyness and effeminate tastes... which normally would have sunk the show for me.

However, the new female cast members and their relationship to Penny made the later seasons more interesting, especially Amy as the sympathetic female nerd - more or less with the temperament of early season Sheldon before he became completely insufferable.
