That may have been the first episode of BBT that didn't make me laugh once. Not once.

I chuckled a couple times, but they really made Sheldon even more unlikeable than usual this week, and I didn't really care for that.

Just made me want someone to give Sheldon a beating.

Obviously they keep Leonard and Sheldon as roommates for the comedy/storylines, but did they ever explain the reason why Leonard doesn't just move out and live by himself?

Leonard would probably want to be close to Penny, but there's been at least one time in the show when an apartment in the building became available. Makes no sense whey Leonard would have to put up with Sheldon 24/7.

Probably money. Research scientists working with grants don't make huge salaries.
On the other hand, Penny is a waitress at a Cheescake Factory and SHE lives alone.

Hmm, my TiVo didn't record this week. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

I brought this up to my Wife the other night and we both found it very funny. Leonard and Sheldon both have very good jobs yet they live together while poor Penny is just a waitress and can afford to live on her own.

And that's all Leonard would need if he moved into an apartment by himself.

They really should write something into the story to give us a reason why Leonard doesn't just move out.

My guess is they'll save that for the series finale.

Everyone moves out and the camera stays onn the empty lobby. The elevator dings and the doors open. Fade to black.
