Sheldon and Amy Are the Superior Couple | The Big Bang Theory 

Even though Kaley and Johnny actually dated? Penny was just an extension of Missy, and the show was written to show the dynamic of Penny and Sheldon in a brotherly-sisterly friendship. I don't think they were the best relationship. I just think it was written in that manner to coincide with Sheldon's personality and need to learn on a sisterly or motherly figure. I think the relationship of the entire case is what made TBBT so impactful. Therefore, the best relationship on the show is that involving every main character and their entire ensemble. Thus, there's no one relationship that is better than the other.

What does it mean when a hetero friendship is better than all the hetero or homo romances in a series?

No, it's Stuart & Denise.

It takes Penny years to start to understand Sheldon. If not for her relationship with Leonard, she'd avoid him as much as possible.

no

How are they better-suited than Stuart & Denise?

That's different - more like siblings.

​@@DavidZ4-gg3dmStill a relationship. Romantic love isn't superior to familial or platonic love.

that is what happens when you talk to slow people... they say a lot of nonsense.

Exactly, cant a male and female just be friends? What is up with these people.

Tell me about it; it’s a bullshit thing to do. Chuck Lorre is an idiot who can’t write decent relationships; PERIOD. He added TAAHM humor to the last four seasons, which is why all the relationships were RUINED.

The reason is that people love them. Although they weren't a couple and later the screenwriters wrote this declaration of Sheldon that he thinks of Penny as a sister, it was towards the end of the show. Still, in very early seasons they actually subtly flirted with each other (even in the pilot Penny appears to be more interested in Sheldon than Leonard). They are an example of purely platonic love, so the physical part could have been easily added if only the writers changed the route a little, in the last episode of season 3 or in season 4 when Amy just appeared. Because at that time, Sheldon treated Amy only as a friend, and Leonard and Penny were broken up. Penny definitely could have awakened physical desire in Sheldon as she was very experienced when it came to sex. And Sheldon with his innocence but also dominant but solid personality could have taught/given Penny actual self-respect in a romantic relationship. They could have been an absolutely great and very entertaining odd couple. Also, it is in fact, common in real life that popular/experienced people form stable, life-long relationships with more innocent, quiet people, because when these popular types finally feel ready to settle after wild partying and hooking up, what they need is a solid, faithful and often calming partner, while a more innocent person with a more wild, popular partner gets relaxing fun and new rich experiences. So these types actually complete each other, and Sheldon & Penny could have been this type of romance.

@@CatoNumbla Yuck. If that had happened, it would’ve sucked. Sheldon was UNBEARABLE in the last four seasons.

no

you have issues

How would that work? They're never attracted to each other.

no

What? They're like brother and sister. Penny is basically Missy. Feels Alabama 🤮

you forgot Raj and Cinnamon. and Raj and Howard, probably

@@panda4247 I was referring to couples who were dating

@@Joseph-gm3qm I know, that's the joke. (if I though you were talking about any friendship, I would have mentioned Sheldon and Penny on the top... But check out the scenes when Raj and Howard go skating, or when Raj greets the astronaut Howard at his presentation... they have the couple's vibe sometimes...) If you want a joke just about dating couples, where would you rate Penny and Zack?

@@panda4247 I'd rate Penny and Zack above Leonard and Penny

did you even read the comments? most hate Leonard and Penny, and think the best couple, altho they were not really the couple but they platonically loved each other, was Sheldon and Penny. I also disagree that Leonard and Penny were the best, they were the worst!

In the early seasons, Penny and Leonard had some good moments but as it went on, especially after their marriage, they quickly fell apart with her being overly demanding & belittling with Leonard being spineless

@@xoler2167 Leonard was always spineless

Stephanie's not right for him either. She rushes him into a committed, monogamous relationship when he just wants a fling with her.

@@DavidZ4-gg3dm still better than penny

@@stormshadowproductions1660 Alice & Alex are better-suited to Leonard.

no

well, if you only watched this show and watched how Penny always bashed Leonard, and Leonard was a total wimp, and also later treated Penny as merely a trophy wife, then you would know Sheldon is spot on.

I do watch this show it’s just I feel that Leonard and penny are a more normal couple then shamy

@@user-lv5zz7wv6lCan I recommend something to you that I believe you’ll LOVE?

nah, the best relationship was Sheldon and Penny.

Sheldon and Penny was the only relationship that was properly developed and grew, and the best one. I also think Howard and Bernadette weren't bad at all. People really don't get that exaggerations are part of the comedy in sitcoms, this is why you don't take it that seriously. Bernie and Howard loved each other, had 2 beautiful kids, and absolutely fit together. Stop being so hateful, my god.

he is also right here. Penny was awful to Leonard for the majority of the show, except the first 3 seasons maybe, and Leonard later on saw Penny only as a sex option and beauty, too superficial so many times. They were an awful couple, period. And Sheldon & Amy def grew way more and had a way better relationship than Penny&Lenny, especially if you consider how they started. But the best couple that wasn't really a couple was always Sheldon and Penny, I agree with other commenters.

@@NatDelfin Bernadette didn't want any kids. She insults & belittles Howard frequently.

@@russelconor8704Can I recommend something to you that FIXES the problems the show had regarding their relationship. The problem was the creator, Chuck Lorre, is an IDIOT.
