Big Bang Theory

Nerdy chicks don't have the same appeal that dudes somehow manage to strangely create. I see the need for her role, but she's very hard to like. I think the second female role should be the not-as-hot as Penny, air-headed, geek-admiring, eventually shyly-lusting fan of Sheldon. Leslie's current relationship with Leonard is strange and awkward. Having a chick who mirrors the Leonard to Penny relationship would be funny because Sheldon will never see it. Sara Gilbert can do any role but that role has to roll. Ya know!

I agree with this post. Sara's character has alot of potential, but the foul language does not seem natural or necessary and is uncomfortable.

I like the Sara Gilbert character. She is a terrific actress who has raised annoying Sheldon to the level of an art form. Like so many villains/villainesses, I think she is doing a good job if you hate her. I'd love to see her meet Sheldon's mother see how those personalities would play off of each other. Maybe they could both vie for the affections of Dr. Gablehauser. Whatever choice Dr. G would make, it would definitely put "Sheldor the Conqueror" in a pickle.

I absolutely LOVED Sara Gilbert as an actress, as well as her character, when she was in Roseanne, and I love her and Leslie Winkle just as much on TBBT. I actually wish she was on more often. She's the one person that can annoy Sheldon!!! And the show definately needs a character like that. I was a little surprised that some people thought her character was vulgar; it didn't occur to me at all. It just seems to fit. The character and the actress are prefect, don't change a thing.

I love her , she does this role well I would not change anything. I love this show I LOL . Don't do that much over t.v. anymore. I hope it stays on. Love the one about the driving lessons. She is playing the role they gave her and very well.

No any changes!!! All chapters are good as they are

I wonder why so many people put so much emphasis on the Leslie Winkle character. I don't find her that funny, and I think the show would've still been great without that character. In fact, you could say the attention/airtime given to Leslie Winkle detracts from time that could be given to characters like Raj, who sometimes seems like he's being treated as an afterthought. Sometimes I wonder if the writers are saying, "Whoops, got to put Raj in this scene or risk missing him from an episode or two." The character of Leslie Winkle is funny, but she doesn't seem essential, and probably some of my least favorite episodes involve that character. AND my favorite episodes don't have an appearance of that character. Instead my favorite episodes focus on the primary characters: Leonard, Sheldon, and Penny.My only complaint is about morality here. If her character is vulgar, which it is, then I wish the vulgarity could be decreased a bit. On a side note, as I have mentioned before, OTHER characters are a little too vulgar too, so I'm not just putting all this negative criticism on just the Leslie Winkle character. That character just has a tendency to be vulgar.It's a shame that she's the only representation the show has of a smart, nerdy girl (not really counting Stephanie, since she's new and the audience doesn't really know how integral she'll be to the plot in the long run), because frankly, I don't identify with her at all, and I doubt my friends would identify with her either.

I haven't had a chance to read through three pages of answers but I believe very much so that a child wouldn't understand this show (depending on how old of course) a lot of people don't understand some of the things that comes out of Sheldon's mouth and half the things he doesn't understand either - therefore having to research his lines before acting them out...But that's besides the point... I don't care for Leslie as much as the other main characters... I kind of cheer for Sheldon when he harps on her, and when she's mean to him it just makes me not like her character.. but I don't think anything should be changed.. it's just the way things are...I'm damn sick of hearing parents not parenting their children and asking people to edit the show - I and everyone seems to like it how it is... and people like you are the ones that make TV unwatchable because you don't want to just tell your kids not to watch that - it's not a children's TV show in the least bit... good god...

I don't have kids. I wouldn't let my kids watch this show if I had any. That's simple. In fact, in my original post, I said this show is geared for adults.When I'm talking about morality in regard to art...audience...writing...and so on, it's about the adults who are exposing themselves to this stuff. Why shouldn't an adult care about what is on TV, what they watch, or what his/her friends are watching, or family is watching? TV is something everyone in our society shares as a community experience, so caring about what's on it is worthwhile. There's a lot of junk on TV, and I think this show could rise above that. But if "everyone" just wants another sex-plot-driven sitcom, then that is sad. There is a general notion in our society right now that sex is what drives the world or something, which is an idiotic notion. I like this show, and I don't want to see it going down that path, so there's nothing wrong with me saying so, in a discussion community such as this; that's why discussion boards exist.I'm defending the original poster who started this discussion. That person took issue with some of the subject matter on this show, and I agree, basically, with what they said. I find NOTHING wrong with someone pointing out something that bothers them morally. People are so quick to defend immoral subject matter (because they like it), but less likely to stand up for the other guy."Everyone seems to like it how it is," is an invalid statement. Obviously some people DON'T like it how it is...That's the point. That's why there is a discussion, otherwise, it would just be one point of view with little-to-no variance. I guess you're trying to rule out some of us viewers, like we don't count or something, when clearly we DO count, since we've bothered to reply to these posts!

As a huge fan of the Roseanne , I am absolutely thrilled to see Sara in another sitcom with Johnny! The way her character taunts Sheldon is absolutely hilarios (especially in Barbarian Sublimation). I would be hugely dissappointed if the writers changed her character to appease the nay-sayers who obvioulsy don't know that the world does not cater to their every whim, and aren't very competent if the solution to "This show isn't 'Kid Friendly'." is to change a part of the essence that makes it vibe. It's called censoship. If you think it's inappropriate for your kid, then don't let them watch it. End of story. Keep Leslie Winkle the same. btw: how bout those full length episodes??

I have found that everything always has room for improvement. However, I don't think that improvement lies with Leslie.She has only showed up in a couple of shows, and in my opinion, didn't subract any of the amazing essence which is big bang.

Leslie Winkle is the perfect nemesis for Sheldon. Raj & Wolowitz respect her as an equal & enjoy the repartee. She's great! Leslie Winkle is spice for the stew & she is on just enough to keep the pot churning. I don't know that I'd enjoy her as much if she had double the air time.Who ever got the idea that the shows from 8p-11p on Monday were meant to be directed at teens & under??Someone needs a clue. Except for Leonard, all the characters speak in a randy manner. That's why we like the show.Furthermore, leave Two & a Half Men alone as well -- it's great show as is. As Jake once said, they should put Charlie's picture on money!

OK...that's enough! I am a 49 year old man, happily married with four wonderful children and five adorable grand kids. I have over the years found some things to be what "I" felt were inappropriate for my children to watch. However, I have not found anything on this show to be rude or distasteful. The sexual banter exchanged on the show was in context with the subject matter. Having known this perhaps those who would find this offensive should ( change the channel ). The big bang theory is a gem of a sitcom with a cast that blend like a warm southern whiskey over ice. Having said this may I just add that C.B.S. has a one , two , three, KO with Two and a half men , The Big Bang Theory , and Fringe. Hats off to the powers that be.

I love sheldon!!! He is my favorite texan! I watch just to see him!
