10 seasons and still no girlfriend for Raj.


Why haven't the writers given Raj a girlfriend or a wife yet? His character seems so out of place now and all he has are funny one liners.

I think there are two possibilities:

1. The writers don't know how to write a girlfriend character for Raj, or how to come up with an interesting eighth main character, to fit in with the "Friends" type direction the show has gone in. Or:

2. They want to keep Raj single, as a representative of what the show used to be. This way they can use him for situations that require an unattached character.

Or maybe a female-Raj-type (kind of the way Amy was to Sheldon, early on)

They kinda sorta tried doing this with Lucy, she had some deep emotional social issues to overcome. But her character didn't gel and there was no chemistry there. Mainly, she was just annoying.

So glad they got rid of Emily. She was an awful character. Raj is the weakest character of the group anyway. No reason to waste more time than necessary with his character.

still no gf

It's not a show about creating girlfriend characters; it's a show about making people laugh.

Then why did 3 of the 4 characters all have a girlfriend?

He's had several. Just not a permanent one. Not everyone on earth winds up matches like animals on Noah's Ark anyway.

12 seasons and still no gf.

A trend is not a proof.

Case rested.

Say what ?

They have 10 seasons and still no permanent girlfriend for Raj ... they had a lot of girlfriends for Raj and at one point they even had two for him !

I'd say this is proof positive BBT writers need to stop listening to the fans. We hear whine after whine about the guys getting girlfriends, and now someone is whining that Raj hasn't gotten one.

Then why doesn't Raj have a long term gf? Even the most neurotic character ever has one.

As I said to someone else on the thead, he's had several. Not a longe term one, yes, but not everyone on earth winds up matches like animals on Noah's Ark anyway. Why does Raj have to?

reply

It's been covered a number of times and there's an episode coming up dealing with the issue.

Hasn't he had 3 girlfriends already?, the blonde girl who worked at some bar, a girl with brown hair and Emily, played by the girl who was on Bones. Don't think Stewart had a girlfriend yet.
