Please get rid of Raj


Seriously his character has become so annoying and a jerk.

Either change him or have him come out of the closet, meet a nice rich man from India and NEVER COME BACK. He is the FEZ of TBBT.

DB, THANK YOU!!!! I can't STAND Raj now. Immature, a jerk, arrogant....he needs his ass kicked. He should be written out because he is no longer funny. He's a childish brat who thinks everyone is supposed to put up with his God awful behavior. IA with everyone who says he needs to go.

That sounds like Sheldon.

Raj was funny until he became a douchebag who may or may not be deeply in denial about his sexuality.

But no, unfortunately Raj isn't going anywhere. CBS is paying him too much money. They're paying all of them too much money. Millions of dollars more than what these actors are really worth.

He has always been the Fez of TBBT.

But seriously, if they're not going to follow up on his love life and are going to separate him from the other guys, he's useless, unless he comes out as gay or something. They have nowhere to take him on his own and he can't hang out with the girls forever and be funny. That's worn thin already.

 Agreed.

He needs to be paired up at some point, either with some nerdy Indian lady (I still think Parminder Nagra would be perfect for this) or have him come out and hook up with some guy because his odd-man-out shtick is old.

He was a saint with Bernadette in this latest ep. 

Maybe so but I think the character is still supposed to have the hots for her.

OR maybe they took heed of all that mail saying get rid of him.

More so for Howard. Even in his fantasies about Bernadette he gets explicit permission or command from Howard.

I was just thinking that watching the Cohabitation Experimentation.

He really is self-important, meddling jerk these days.

After watching this show 'enough', I can't stand most of it anymore, and I only watch the Sheldon bits.

In the early seasons, those are the only things almost guaranteed to be 'different' than the predictable 'horndog' gags with the boring 'Howard' character, or the 'I can't speak without alcohol'-Raj-stuff.

Leondar and penny is just another 'will they hook up'-crap for females, so it's neither entertaining nor funny.

When there is a quirky, weird, out-of-this-world character that then somehow interacts with the 'regular' people of this world, that's the only time this show can really elevate to a really fun-to-watch and funny level.

It becomes more unpredictable, and thus more interesting, than the 'seen 1000 times already' 'unrealistic nerd romance' between a nasal-voice bulgy-eyed fish-face and some unrealistic, scrawny nerd that somehow can attract young women (although couldn't ever even dream of doing it in the first two seasons).

So when I want something unexpected and out-of-the-box, I watch the Sheldon parts.

The good thing about Sheldon is that he doesn't care too much about social conventions or norms, so he's able to tell women practical advice (which people don't dare do in real life), and he's able to ignore whatever 'shame' or 'guilt' he's supposed to be feeling after saying something 'not usually allowed'.

So in a way, he's a nerdy Tyler Durden; able to say things other people can't. Or sometimes maybe bit less in-your-face Larry David, perhaps.
