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.
