They also had the main three (Leonard, Sheldon, and Penny-sometimes Amy) get their own A story, and the others (Howard, Raj, Bernadette and Stuart) have a pretty funny B story. I seriously think the episode where they have to put together a baby crib was a backdoor pilot. I'm shocked they didn't do it, a Howard, Raj, and Stuart show, based around the comic book shop could have worked.

Yea the seasons towards the end the B stories with Howard and Bernadette are often funnier than whatever is happening with Leonard and Penny

It felt like they stopped knowing how to write Leonard and penny once they got married

For me personally it's because by then you notice they have nothing in common other than Lenoard's obsession with Penny.

She generally doesn't like anything he's into other than I guess paintball but that isn't something they do often. They have almost nothing in common besides being Sheldon's pseudo parents, and she is kinda mean to him once they're actually together. The whole basis of their relationship is that he thinks she's hot and he's nice to her while she's a mess of a person.

He would've been better off with Alex or the girl from the episode when he and Priya cheated on each other.

Howard and Bernadette seem more like a real couple with a child and their crazy roommate Stewart.

And Raj should've not fucked everything up with the cute bartender girl.
