[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've started watching through the The Big Bang Theory for the first time and both my husband and I have been enjoying it for the most part. However, I'm getting a little annoyed at how sexist some of the episodes are. Does this get better in later seasons? Does Howard become a little more likable? Right now I hate him! I just finished the episode "The Killer Robot Instability". In it Penny losing it with Howard for his continued sexual harassment towards her. After it happened I was like "Finally! She called him out on it!" However, instead of apologizing and admitting that his past behavior was inappropriate, he plays the victim and guilt trips her. On top of that, Leonard also guilt trips her into apologizing to Howard. I know that Leonard and Penny end up together, and I know Penny can stand up for herself, but does the message this show is clearly sending right now get any better as the seasons go on? [/quote] Penny does lose it with Howard. All of them evolve. They added Bernadette and Amy, who both have PhDs and help. I like how Penny’s EQ helps them evolve. Her character changes to be more intellectual too. I have loved it because there is quite a bit of ASD in the characters and it shows. It shows how friendships can help people with ASD form friendships and how it changes them- this is mainly evident in Sheldon and Amy’s characters. I agree with a pp’s comments that some of the middle years were not very good and relied on old tropes and sex. Some episodes are better than others. [/quote]
