If anything, I think it's gotten a lot nicer, in some ways. (The last seasons was probably my favorite, for that.) To my mind, it was always very...let's say clear-eyed about its characters failings, in this extremely unglamorous way that is very much rooted in its sense of humor. (Like ny number of scenes of the awful humor between Howard and his mother, or Penny being mocked for her intelligence - or, rather, lack of intellectual ambition, as per the OP - or Sheldon bumbling about helplessly like an overgrown toddler.)

I don't know that they're being torn apart - nothing horrible happens to them, as such - but they are rarely being being flattered either. I find it quite uncomfortable to watch, a lot of the time, but also fascinating and somewhat subversive, because writers (naturally enough) tend to quite like their protagonists and not want to show them needy, desperate and constantly on the edge of humiliation, but it's a powerful thing in comedy anyway.

Well, that's my 2c.
