I am absolutely certain that if the situation ever arose, I would rather people think I am a man-whore than someone who gets hot for old ladies.

While I imagine people still may have a quarrel with the casting process, I think Mayim Bialik's Amy Farrah Fowler has proven to be a solid addition the past several episodes. She gives the Sheldon character somebody different to bounce off of, which was absolutely necessary given the obvious choice by the network/producer/writers to focus so much on Sheldon.

^^ I think the fault is with the writers. I like the Fowler character, but she is nowhere near as quirky as Sheldon. She comes off a bit like a robot.

That doesn't bug me. She's not a very interesting character, but I don't think she's supposed to be. The interest is supposed to come in what Sheldon does. I don't think it's the best choice to make the show so focused on one character, but that is the road they clearly want to go down. In that context, it works.
