Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists, the kind of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works. But none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow CalTech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali. However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities... including love.

I disagree on Howard having as much value as Sheldon. I feel they could write off everyone, but Sheldon, and the show would still be watchable.
With that said, I am in no way knocking Howard. I just think you are giving him too much value. He is not Sheldon, in my opinion.
My comparison of Barney and Sheldon is that neither is the main character, but both should be. Ted from HIMYM and Leonard from TBBT are both boring, compared to both those characters and the other ones. Basically both stuck characters that are boring, in the lead spots.
Basically, I'm not devaluing the rest of the casts, like Howard or anyone else (Other than Amy, she is awful), I'm just saying they picked the wrong leads and are suffering. Family Guy does the same thing with Peter as the lead and Stewie as a supporting character. When Stewie, Barney, or Sheldon get the most screen time in an episode, they are usually the best episodes.
Before I run out of room, I agree on the story arcs.
@ColeFrost It's not quite like How I met Your Mother where Barney alone can carry the show. Howard has at least as much comedy value as Sheldon, but it's true there's too much Amy in the show and in general they try too hard to tell a story. People aren't looking for massive story arches in this kind of series but just for 20 minutes of pure uncut comedy, I don't understand how producer cannot see that.
The show was already renewed in the past, but I will post that it was renewed anyway:

Note:
I'm just filling in the blanks for other shows. I noticed that some shows had people looking at what the status for next year was and I wasn't here when some of the status changes happened. I'm just quickly filling in the remaining shows that I see.
It seems to be running into the same problem that How I Met Your Mother is, under-usage of best character. Sheldon commands every scene, but rarely gets used to full anymore. Amy is an awful character that they keep giving classic Sheldon scenes to. If you have a character that is so good, they can power the show alone, then why push them to the back. HIMYM does the same thing to Barney.
Turning into utter and complete shit. Ridiculous this is the most followed series here.
Ignoring this show after the last episode. Fucking shameful.
I'm really starting to fucking hate this show in it's entirety. Wasn't this supposed to be pretty clever 4 years back?
Changed my rating from 4 to 3 only because of this season ... It's just gotten sooo bad, I laugh like once in an entire episode
I have to agree, season 4 became boring. But the latest episodes (18+) were really good.
