You are what is called an exception. I am, too. I don't hate it, especially the earlier seasons because I don't think it's that bad, but the characters and writing are barely passable for a multi-camera sitcom so it's not that good either. Sheldon tends to be hit or miss with me, and the rest of them are annoying. Penny used to be a likable character but they couldn't decided whether they wanted her to be the foil to the group, or be a dumb blonde; then in the later seasons they just made her a dumb blonde.
The only character I actually really like on the show is Amy. She's actually pretty entertaining. Oh, and Bernadette in small doses. She does tend to make Howard more likable.
I wonder how the show would be if A) it wasn't a multi-camera sitcom, B) Chuck Loore wasn't the showrunner, and C) It was on a network like FX.
