I still watch it, though it's been many years since it was required viewing. My sense is that the guys are pushing 40 now. Sheldon ' s saving grace is that he's not supposed to be aware that a lot of his behavior is rude or hurtful. I think both Amy and Sheldon have been changed quite a bit, and aren't consistent with their original characters.

I think the show is a little bit interesting now. I thought it was dead in the water a couple years ago, but they've done a 90 degree turn into one or maybe two generic domestic sitcoms. I don't expect anything like the first four seasons to happen again, but it could chug along indefinitely by adapting old Lucy and Honeymooners plot lines.
