Well unfortunately for all those who hate it, they just signed on for 3, count 'em 3, more seasons. I certainly don't hate the show and find some of the characters likable, i agree with those who hate Penny. She is just too fucking stupid and annoying. In the past, I've actually found that whether or not people liked the show hinged on whether or not they hated Sheldon. He seemed to be the catalyst for all the hate, especially at the beginning. The crazy thing is that the show is actually getting more popular ratings-wise. I'll watch it if I see its on, but its not one of my go-to shows.
