The Big Bang Theory - 6x09 - The Parking Spot Escalation

    Howard buys a new car, and his new fame as an astronaut means that he has been awarded the best parking spot at the school - a spot that Sheldon used to have.  While Sheldon doesn't have a car, he insists on wanting to retain the parking spot.  This leads to Bernadette and Amy fighting on Howard and Sheldon's behalf.
    While this episode was better plotted, and had a more succinct plot than many episodes of Big Bang Theory, I didn't like it.  I found something more distressing about it.  Normally, Sheldon is the only one who acts like a jerk.  More recently, Amy did as well, although that is probably to be expected.  The problem is that here, everyone was acting like a jerk, with the exception of Penny, Leonard, and Raj.  Of course, all of those people are barely in the episode.
    There's the strong conflict to drive the story forward, except for the problem that the conflict is hard to buy into.
    There were also a few moments that I cringed at the script.  After Penny gets hit in the face, someone asks "do you think we've gone to far" or something like that.  Penny gives this "Do you THINK?" line.  That kind of response just destroys any sense of sympathy I have for her.
