Dear TBBT!TPTB:
Stole this one answer from Community 101:
TVGuide.com: Do you look at Jeff and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) as the Ross and Rachel of Community?
Harmon: No, I don't actually. Ross and Rachel is a relationship that - not having watched every episode of Friends - the audience could get behind. We feel like the days have gone by where the question of will they hook up could drive an entire series. The big question of Jeff and Britta is: Do they have chemistry? Do they not have chemistry and is that a form of chemistry? I just don't believe the audience will sit tight for another Ross and Rachel and I don't think you could manufacture that.

If you are planning on going the Ross/Rachel route with Leonard and Penny, please sit down and talk with Dan Harmon.
Just saying.
