I will miss it. I think they did a pretty good job of tying it all up with a nice ribbon of closure. At least I don't feel too cheated like so many other "last shows" have made me feel. Although, seriously---even if Sheldon's mother wouldn't get on a plane to see him get the Nobel prize I still really did expect Leonard's mother to. She always liked Sheldon better than Leonard and could have really rubbed it in.
And yes, I knew EXACTLY what this thread was just by the title.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?

I thought it was great the first 3 years and remained good for another 2-3 years. Then it became a mostly boring soap opera.
At its core, this show was about four male nerds interacting with a foil - a hot, normal female. That formula worked well - at least if you were a male nerd who genuinely didn't understand what made normal females (or even high-IQ females) tick. While intellectually inferior, Penny represented what each of these guys (excluding Sheldon) desperately wanted but could realistically never have.
Eventually, it became a show highlighting the normal, boring relationships of real people. Ho-hum. The characters stopped being special. Boring.
At least, that's my take on it.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I watched it in the beginning, but then I stopped. Never made it past season four, I think.
The boyfriend catches it on television every once in a while.

Yes, years ago. Not frequently, but there was a "first time" episode for them. They got married too.
Lol...That must have been a sight to see.
I'll have to find that episode.
The kids and I used to watch The Big Bang Theory on syndication. We enjoyed.
That and Scrubs.
