Nooooo! I disagree! True that much of the show features Sheldon, but the interaction between the others, the girls, and generally the outside world would more than keep it alive. It wouldn't be at all hard to shift the focus that tiny bit.

Nah, its Sheldons show; the sex obsessed one gets a few good bits, but if you lost Sheldon itd be a much poorer show. The indian one and the main guy dont seem to have that much funny stuff to do.

True, but if you lost Leonard it wouldn't work either.

True, but Leonard aint funny; or at least not a tenth as funny as Sheldon.

No. But it's like Frasier and Niles. Niles/Sheldon are funnier, but they need the other one.
 

Ooh, I dont know; I always found Frasier himself funny. Though Niles was, of course, the funnier.

I really think that yes, the show is geared in such a way right now that if anyone, Sheldon is the pivotal character, but like I said, it wouldn't be any trouble to switch that, should he leave, and still having the show work just as well.

Like zooo said, they all rely on each other, IMO in a way which isn't existant (identically) in many other programmes.

Hmmm, I'm not sure Leonard is essential for Sheldon, I think all he needs is another human being of whatever description and he'd make a show work.

What happend in the Peanut Reaction btw Aaron? I can't think which one it is - am up to date so will've seen it.

You'll only have seen it if you've been 'acquiring' direct from the US as they're broadcast.

I'm too impatient to wait for C4. I watch it on IanTV, which is roughly a day behind the US. Heard that AaronTV manages to keep up well too?

Well it was last week's ep then, so if you don't remember it then you may be further behind than you thought.
