The first 3 seasons of TBBT were pure gold, season 4 was an amalgum of gold and silver, but right from episode 1 of season 5 there has been something not quite "right". The pacing seems to be off and and I just don't laugh as much.
However, regardless of how much anyone may criticise season 5 it is several orders of magnitude funnier than any other sitcom currently on air. The show might be coasting along on autopilot at the moment but in comparison to anything else it still sparkles.
Also, on repeated viewings it is funnier. TBBT has always had great repeat viewing strength (like all great comedy) but I didn't "get" a lot of season 5 until I'd watched it twice - my wife thought so as well. Does that mean the scripts are not as well written? It certainly isn't the acting, which is as good as ever.
So overall, not as good as past series, but still funny and worth viewing. 8/10

What happened to TBBT? It's turned into Friends with far too much emphasis on relationships and become a usual stereotypical US comedy. Series 4 hints to this commercialisation but it's now full blown in series 5. Jim Parsons is excellent as ever and now he has won awards so unfortunately the trajectory of the show won't change. I miss creepy Howard and the wonderful science stuff as well as Sheldon's eccentricity and rigid schedule i.e. halo night, PJs for each night, eating in specific places etc as well as his odd couple friendship with Penny they seemed to have forgotten about all of these and don't use Penny enough. She spends time with the girls, when she is at her best and sharper with the boys. I know sound like a geek but too many girls not enough science!! 3 stars is mainly for Jim Parsons he's too good!

After finishing the fifth season yesterday, i was left pleased due to the new witting humour added to the show. True, it is not as brilliant as season 2 however, the jokes are very original in this season without it being too crude or just vulgar. New plots are put in the show which make it more interesting and the relationship between *spoiler* sheldon and amy is really cute. Such a delight watching the show and not seeing repetitive humour again and again in each episode. Once again, Jim Parrson does a wondering job acting as Sheldon the beloved character. really, i'd give this show 4.5/5 due to maybe 3/24 episodes being slightly boring or silly.

Big BAng Theory
If you like the Big Bang Theory then you will love this. Personally I got into the program due to Kaley Cuoco. I have since very much enjoyed all the series.

Fantastic!
The best comedy to come out of America. Great likeable characters. Very little swearing. A lot of effort goes into making this acurate. All the family love it! Go Penny!

Its lost its way.... Series 4 foreshadowed some of the problems - Rajesh's sister was a horrible mistake - and series 5
compounds the problems. Read more
