The 10 Worst The Big Bang Theory Episodes
9. The Athenaeum Allocation (Season 11 Episode 17)
Bernadette and Howard are struggling with deciding who should return back to work and who should stay at home with the kids. Although Bernadette is looking forward to working again, she is envious of Howard being able to stay home. Meanwhile, Amy and Sheldon have finally agreed on a wedding date and Leonard tries his hardest to pin down the perfect wedding venue.
Why it sucks: I don't know who was in charge of Bernadette's character development but she had been getting more and more unbearable since season 9 and this episode was the lowest point for her character. She is annoying, argumentative, and comes across as a real pain in the backside. Sure the idea is they are showing how she is struggling with a lack of sleep but they never made Howard be that irrational and moody. Just another example of an unfunny attempt at a played out stereotype.
What didn't suck: Leonard and Amy's wedding invitation's of their two brains kissing will live long in the memory. Also Kripke's guest appearance was a welcome surprise but even his return couldn't salvage this train wreck.
