Negative reviews are the result of people's extremely high expectations, the show is still actually good and I laughed more when I watched each season 8 episode second time.
Review of episode 1 - The Locomotion Interruption.
The show started with a really funny scene with Sheldon and I went like Ha! I knew it! ha ha Sheldon is funny as usual, while I kinda felt sorry for the poor grown up kid in this opening scene.
Amy is weird and funny. She does a good job.
Penny's new hair style is actually quite good and she looked pretty. This change isn't bothering me, she still makes nice jokes.
Raj's character is underused as usual and better writing is required for him. Raj looked kinda angry and serious, not sure why, I guess he need to continue the way he was in previous seasons, as long as he is used little bit more in the show.
Howard is funny and there is a twist in the mother-son relationship.
Bernadette receives attention in this episode and her personality is defined.
The comic book guy Stuart is really surprising in this season, earlier he has always been a depressed lonely and grateful to his friends kind of guy, who does not get angry or stand up on insults. Now its like a whole new Stuart in this season.
Overall, I'd agree that this start of the season is not as good as it had been in earlier seasons but as a big bang theory fan I wouldn't criticize it unnecessarily. The show was worth a watch.
