It's taken four years, but I FINALLY feel like this show is finding its feet and working out what exactly it wants to be and what stories it is wanting to tell. It's starting to use its ever growing and developing characters a bit more fully, and it's all very pleasing to see.
This plotline though is one that Chuck Lorre and co have adapted from a 'Two and a Half Men' episode. Take out Alan, add in Leonard and replace Charlie with Sheldon and you've pretty much got the same thing. Obviously that show was a bit darker and sexual with its humour, so the outcome was different, but by and large this is the same plot copy and pasted.
So progress, but not complete.
