@tvoti There was a quote about this from @billprady in a New Yorker article that's not linkable but here's the quote: "Bill Prady told me that Lorre hates stories of unnecessary--or any--narrative intricacy. 'And he's right,' Prady said, 'because a sitcom is now down to about twenty-one minutes. If you're going to fill it with plot, with events that must occur, there's no room for people to talk.' He described the number of events that happen in any Big Bang Theory scene as 'one or zero,' and said that what Lorre most loves is a story in which the driving force is one character buying a birthday present for another."
