Considering that the series devoted years into developing the couple's relationship - from a one-sided love affair to a full-blown romance - it's understandably disappointing for fans to see them relegated to side characters who have an open-door apartment where everybody usually gathers.
And during the times that they are actually given the spotlight, moments are tainted because of small misses like this one. With the final season in full swing, Leonard and Penny's fans are hoping to get as much development for The Big Bang Theory 's inaugural couple as possible.
They still have yet to resolve their differences with regards to the possibility of having kids. Perhaps that can be a main focal point for the show in their next few outings. Accidental movie fan who is perpetually curious, Ana rekindled her love for writing several years back and married it with everything pop culture.
The result is a passionate young writer who could ramble and of course, pen about films and series multiple hours a day. She has a soft spot for The Lion King, old songs, and home design; is currently obsessed with old sitcoms The Golden Girls!
Leonard got the girl of his dreams in neighbor Penny, Sheldon eventually fell in love with fellow scientist Amy, and Howard and Bernadette have been married for over half of the series' run, with two children running around.
As much as the series is about the mad cap adventures of this quirky group, it's also come to be defined by the relationships within its core cast of characters, whether these be romantic or friendship. Arguably one of the best relationships to come out of the series has been the unlikely friendship between the ultra genius Sheldon and the decidedly non-academic Penny. While they began the series as adversaries, due to their totally different ways of life, Sheldon and Penny have come to have one of the strongest friendships in the entire series, producing countless heartwarming and hilarious moments over time.
While the show has tended to focus more on the romances in recent years, to the detriment of some of its original dynamics, Sheldon and Penny's friendship still remains one of the best decisions The Big Bang Theory has ever made. If there's one thing that can be said of Dr. Sheldon Cooper, it's this: he's an absolute creature of habit. One of the recurring behaviors that Sheldon has displayed over the series is his need to be serenaded with his childhood favorite song "Soft Kitty" whenever he's sick, and only a select few people are allowed to sing this song to him.
In addition to his family members, who have sung the song for him his entire life, Penny quickly becomes one of the unsuspecting few who are allowed the privilege or duty of singing to him. What's even more surprising is that Sheldon even sang Penny "Soft Kitty" once, too, when she had injured herself and he was taking care of her. Sheldon has never exactly been the warmest and fuzziest member of the group. He struggles with expressing his emotions and public displays of affection were, for a very long time, unthinkable for him.
Enter Penny, who is basically the human embodiment of sunshine and affection, and it was only a matter of time before she wore down his defenses. It's one of the first signs of real emotion from Sheldon in the entire series, and only the first of many mutual hugs that the duo share. Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy.
It doesn't take much more than that for the good people of the internet to become interested in the idea of pairing characters together in romantic situations, no matter how unlikely the reality of that outcome may be. Sheldon and Penny have been paired together romantically by eagle-eyed fans from the very beginning of the series. It's not hard to see why. In the pilot alone, Penny and Sheldon have some cute moments that could be read as flirting, including Penny calling Sheldon a " Beautiful Mind genius guy" and Sheldon shyly responding.
Beyond that, their banter has provided some of the most enjoyable moments in the entire show, so it's only natural that people would flock to their dynamic.
Thus, the fan relationship known as Shenny was born. Sheldon and Penny's early relationship was best characterized as one between adversaries or frenemies. They rarely ever saw eye to eye and it made for some great comedic moments. However, a few times during these fraught early years, the two were able to find common ground and become unlikely allies as coworkers and mentor-student. In the season two episode "The Barbarian Sublimation", Penny becomes addicted to an online game and Sheldon serves as her mentor.
Also, in "The Gorilla Experiment", the truly unthinkable happens, as Sheldon manages to teach Penny some basic physics. The characters' careers on The Big Bang Theory play a big role in the overarching plot of the series, seeing as the majority of them are scientists. However, few characters have had the sort of career path that Penny has had. When the series began, Penny was an aspiring actress who wound up getting a job at the Cheesecake Factory, and there she stayed for much of the early seasons, securing the occasional acting job along the way.
Yet, while Penny's passion for the arts may never have wavered, the support she's received in the series -- especially from Leonard, her eventual husband -- has been sporadic at best. However, one person who has remained surprisingly consistent in his support of her acting has been Sheldon, who even once commented that Penny is a remarkable actress after seeing her perform onstage.
Simply put, Sheldon Cooper is a snob. If a person isn't skilled in the sciences or smart in traditionally academic senses, he will go out of his way to malign them at any turn. Chauffeured and supervised by Penny, the episode marks Sheldon's first date with not just Amy, but anyone.
Following that success, Sheldon makes the executive decision to move things to the next step: "to gift humanity with our progeny. In an attempt to gauge how Sheldon makes her feel — aka if she gets turned on by him — Amy holds his hand, but, alas, nothing. While they technically shared their first kiss way back in season 3 during the same awkward episode in which they met, Sheldon and Amy didn't share a real, romantic, swoonworthy kiss until their train-bound smooch, just in time for Valentine's Day.
It took another two seasons from their first non-cringeworthy kiss for Shamy to finally, as Sheldon would say, engage in coitus.
It's yet another season before Sheldon takes his relationship with Amy to the next level. Despite her attempt to thwart the hopefully endgame couple's relationship, Dr. Ramona Nowitzki kissing Sheldon only pushes him to finally get down on one knee and pop the question Her answer?
