The Big Bang Theory: 10 Reasons Amy & Sheldon Should Break Up

Should TV's oddest couple end their romance?

By Samuel Clements /

There are always those odd couples on TV; Howard Wolowitz and Bernadette Rostenkowski were odd enough to begin with, but the chemistry between the two actors has allowed this romance to thrive. ShAmy are an even weirder couple. In terms of social awkwardness they are virtually identical, but the strange romance needs to end soon. The Big Bang Theory began with Sheldon as a peculiar man concentrating on his work and geeky paraphernalia. By series three the producers decided to mix this up by introducing a love interest for Sheldon; Amy Farrah Fowler. This certainly succeeded in mixing up the status quo, but is it time that this romance came to its end? Jim Parsons has done an amazing job in portraying Sheldon Cooper, and Mayim Bialik has done an equally astounding job in her portrayal of Amy. This is not an assault on their acting abilities, but the characters have simply outgrown each other. The Big Bang Theory is one of the most popular programs on TV at the moment, and with this success it has been renewed until its tenth series now. The show certainly risks stagnating, but such a huge breakup would breathe new life into the show.
