used to not like this show, but i've warmed up to it. BBT has its moments. however, leonard is the most pathetic, annoying tv character in the history of the world. i hate him so, so much. his constant upward-tilted face, the caterpillar eyebrows, the goofy expression, the whining and pining over penny (which, their relationship, come on), humoring the other characters to the point of him just being a set up for others' jokes. i'm not saying they should take his character out of the show, but i find him completely insufferable and want to drop kick his face through the tv everytime he talks.
O man you are 100% right about Leonard. He is sooooooooooooooo whiny. I'm hoping him and Penny break up for good and he goes for that other girl (sheldon's assistant). I'm tired of Leonard and Penny; they aren't exactly Ross and Rachel. "You know Dr. Ross and Rachel from book keeping" --> imaginary rep for anyone who can tell me that reference (imaginary because I can't rep yet)
I watched BBT a couple of times and thought it was pretty good except for that one off the wall guy that seems to be the main character, but doesn't really fit with the others. I guess that must be Leonard. That one character is the reason I decided not to watch it regularly.
While all the other characters have some kind of personality, Leonard is just the plainest, easiest, extreme stereotype of a nerd that anyone would come up with in a pinch. The constant sniveling voice is absolutely horrible. I found the Penny/Leonard thing mind numbing, just like other typical sitcom will they/won't they BS. Adding the other 2 women and focusing on the relationship stuff sent the show over the cliff.
this. same character since day 1. adds nothing to the show. he does that thing with his hands too when he talks..ugh.
I have extensive experience working in scientific labs, and I can attest that these guys nail the prototypical scientist archetypes. Just because the Leonard character is annoying doesn't mean it's not authentic.
This. The other problem I have is you can see them setting up the Penny/Leonard/Sheldon's assistant love triangle, which doesn't seem all that interesting. As long as they keep Bernadette around, it's all good.
I've kinda learned to like him because I feel sorry for him. Strange, I know. Ross on Friends was a whiner too..but he was funny far more often than Leonard is.
I tried to get into this show multiple times . . . i just don't get it . . .. It is slightly humorous but . . . . nothing 'special' *frown* Rocket River . . . and I like to laugh.
Gonna disagree with you... Ted from How I Met Your Mother is the most pathetic annoying TV character. He makes the show hard to watch at times.
No, that's Sheldon and he makes the show. (I'm guessing you're referring to the really really geeky, OCD guy.) I love the show but it's been backed up on my DVR in a while.

I thought this would interest some BBT fans and H-Town fans of Parsons. I saw this on Dan Patrick's feed this morning:
