Now see to me the character of Amy is a lead weight dragging down most scenes she appears in. I don't see the freshness that you see, I find the character to be unsubtle. I have occasionally found her amusing, but that was more in her earlier incarnation. As for Sheldon's humanity it was on display before Amy ever…

Amy's mother was on Skype in a season 4 episode. The Desperation Emination.

I can not only imagine a show without Amy, I wish for it every time I see her on the screen. I find her off-putting and entirely Mary-sueish, and I cannot stand the way her presence had turned the character of Sheldon into a cartoonish buffoon.
