Sure, his character has evolved, but the sleazy creep who treats women like meat and won’t respect no as an answer is hard to forget, and he morphed from that to treating his wife like a maid and a mother while he continues to behave like an entitled child.

The only thing I have disliked about TBBT is how the show has given him pretty much a free pass–going so far as to force Penny to apologize TO HIM after she had finally gotten through to him that she wanted him to stop lewdly hitting on her, having tried many times before to make him stop with the slimy come ons. The male writers of the show may think Howard is funny and lovable, but I find his behaviour towards women to be repulsive. From an interview with Simon, he was also happy his character was settling down because “it cuts through the sleaze” so I take it from that he wasn’t fond of Howard’s sleaziness either.
