Okay so my fave nerd show is really wearing thin this season. Have they run out of material? Its not as funny and the characters are just starting to wear on me. Leonard (Johnny Galecki) has finally got a relationship happening with Penny (Kaley Cuoco) thus ending the funny storylines about their unresolved sexual tension which was a major force for drama.
According to wiki ‘the third season centers around their struggle to maintain a relationship’. I think the third season struggles to do anything. Its not clever, its not funny any more, i’m not sure what the american live audience is laughing at most of the time. I sat through 15 episodes and some of them were ok. Not brilliant not great just… ok.
Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) continues to get more and more annoying though now it seems he doesn’t make me laugh so much as want to hit him with something. Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) are still nurturing their pseudo gay relationship and thats funny. I think I’ve heard one too many of Sheldons hilarous (NOT) bazinga jokes. The situations are getting more and more desperate as they try to wring a laugh out of you. The episode where Sheldon goes mad – more mad then usual and ends up in a kiddies ball pool whining something nerdy about atoms. SIGH.
My friends maintain its funny so maybe the sheen has just worn off for me quicker and they’ll catch up or maybe i’ve just tired of the characters. So far there hasn’t been any character growth or real development and I’m bored with the same old nerd games. Something has to change up in the plot and Wolowitz getting a girlfriend thats as exciting as chalk isn’t it.
