Why I loved Penny on "The Big Bang Theory"

5. Many vital elements of sitcoms are underrated - including Cuoco's contributions to the BBT

My daughter and I love to talk about how sitcoms work. I would love to take at least a few classes. It's weird how often any changes in cast, writing room, etc can send a sitcom to the top or crash burning into oblivion. Strange how characters you love are just as important to those you think you can never miss. My favorite Seinfeld season - season 4, is my favorite because they spoof their own experience with first timing it.

Cuoco's character and her work connect the other characters and their world with the rest of the world really well. She did a great job at executing whatever what asked of her in regard to the character.

I also grew up falling asleep to hearing the intro to Taxi reruns down the hall as my parents watched it habitually. So glad Hirsch was finally fit into the BBT.
