I have tried a few times to get into this show and i just can't get into it.To me it wasn't variety. I just didn't find it funny. Am I alone in this?

I think the show is just fine. Doing great. Funny and entertaining, which is what a show should be.

This new day and time slot prevents me from catching the show.
Monday at 9:30 I watched it all the time.

I need a DVR stat.

The best sitcom on network television....and it's not even close.

I think the show has been off since the beginning of the season, but its starting to improve. The latest episode is my favorite of the season.

The show tanked when Amy came on. They also shifted toward Sheldon too much.

In my opinion, I think the show is one of the better sitcom's on TV today though I agree they need to focus on other characers and create more development with them. I would like to see them do something with Raj finally, where he is able to finally overcome his fear of women or at least make it to where he can talk to Penny without having being intoxicated.

...a lack of things for critics to complain about.

the show is still great, the writing is still fresh and funny, they have introduced new characters and put old characters into new situations that work, so I don't see the problem.

the show isn't for everyone - but what show is?
