I think Gilecki works in that he is the foil for Parsons. Think the famous straight men like Abbot to Costello. I do agree Sheldon makes the show. And I could not see it with Gilecki as the “Sheldon” character.

He and Penny are the foils, but they are the two weakest actors IMO - but since Sheldon is so strong, they “work” by default I guess.

Raj has great expressions, and Wolowicz has impeccable timing and is a talented mimick and pretty good physical comedian. And Amy FF is awesome too. It works, but there are those that make it work and those that tag along. They’re all getting rich off it, that’s for sure….
