Not too crazy about the last episodes


Not too crazy about these last episodes. We tune in to laugh, not watch something that's so serious and preachy.

It's life. With all its warts and problems. When a sitcom ventures into real life, it's not for everyone, but, as I have experienced in my life, things like this does happen.
I tend to think that this show, as others of the highest caliber, are not afraid to delve into "real life".
It's what makes good sitcoms so good.

They missed the rule laid down by Larry and Jerry: "No crying, no hugging".

I predict that when this show eventually comes to streaming that the final episode will be routinely skipped by most bingewatchers.

They really should have had the death occur as a stunning event at the end of season six (the penultimate one). Then this series could have ended on an upbeat note that was true to its origin and original premise.

What kind of preachiness did it delve into? I might not bother watching the final season if that is the case.

reply

Not much. After a death the mom wanted Sheldon and Missy to get baptized. It was part of the final two episodes.

reply

nothing if you are a fan of the show. Christianity and atheism was always part of it.

reply

I really liked the final episodes.

reply

you wanted jokes after the father died or something?

reply

I didn't see anything preachy about it, but I wasn't crazy about the last 3 either. They were pretty depressing.

And the adult Sheldon was just being an ass towards his wife (and kids). Not even remotely funny. (Yes, i've watched TBBT.)
