For those of you who were disappointed by this seriess last four seasons, how Penny was never a well developed character, and how it ended, let me recommend you this:
What could have been, by son-goku5.
WAY BETTER than the actual show. It takes place THROUGHOUT the show, but has real and better character development for Penny. It's like 95% from Penny's POV, and it also gives her more depth by showing/including her family from Nebraska as well as her family. It definitely made me feel better about how disappointing the last five seasons were. The show should have just ended with Leonard and Penny getting married. Also this story puts Penny in moments where she wasn't. (Vegas and Camping Trip where the guys were Tripping while Camping; she gets high too. Also, there's a huge twist that makes the show honestly look dumb in romantic story telling. There's also more Penny vs Sheldon in it, to the point that Sheldon messes with her job and she messes with his schedule. Penny also doesn't become unlikable in it, and remains her before she got married self to the end. Her fate in this story is also a lot better. And Leonard's proposal is WAY better in it. They also show Leonard interacting with her family more often (they also show him asking for her parents blessing, which is a very well written moment) and he even tells Penny he's jealous of her for having nice parents. Leonard also gets REAL character development in this story too. He grows up and acts less nerdy but still remains a nerd (for example he missed half a day of Comic Con to take care of Penny when she gets a headache. That's what I call maturity. And when Raj uses the whip sound, to make fun of him for taking care of her, Penny gets all mad for them making fun of Leonard and she even mentions his problem with Emily and the Iron Maiden. When all he's doing is something thoughtful. What's best about this story is that while they do act like their sitcom selves, Leonard and Penny develop more realistically like REAL PEOPLE. READ IT! Also the author is German, and I think he's a physicist, because he writes science dialogue that's offscreen. Penny also comes to hate Beverley a lot. She also stands up for him when someone flirts with her and denigrates him at the same time, because she knows he never was able to do it his whole life. Its really beautiful. At one point she even calls him in her mind, her soulmate.
Penny and Leonard plan a REAL wedding, and they exchange actual beautiful vows, and makes it clear she wants to have a genuinely happy life with him because he at one point in the story says that life will go by and all that a person will have is a regret of not doing something. Leonard is a little philosopher in this story. He even tells Penny hes thinking about changing his name to Leonardo, cause it get rid of the word nerd in his name, but ultimately doesnt.
Penny is actually really smart in season seven and eight; she comes up with a way to trick Sheldon into giving them the apartment. You see the author writes a reason why Penny is uncomfortable with Leonard moving in with her. It is because of her asshole ex who cheated on her before she met Leonard. Penny thinks that her and Leonard also being neighbors is convenient and practical. So when Sheldon gets hospitalized in season four for weeks, Leonard in a very Chandler Bing fashion asks Penny to move in (in this story they dont break up like in season three, and their relationship starts off WAY differently) with him as a trial. Hes smart and tells Penny he knows the real reason. When they get engaged she tells Leonard they cant live in her apartment, so its either A trick Sheldon into moving out or B, find a new place, and make it our own. Sheldon is more intolerable and unbearable. When Leonard does move out, they basically show no real sympathy. Penny even tells Amy that its HER job to prepare Sheldon for when they get married since shes his girlfriend by will. Excerpt:
Amy waved it off and looked at her. Are you determined to live with Leonard after you're married?
Of course. Penny scrunched her face in confusion. He'll be my husband, why would I not?
Well, I heard the secret of a successful relationship is separate apartments. Amy hesitated, clearly uncomfortable.
Amy, did you tell Sheldon yet that he has to get used to the idea that he won't be living with Leonard anymore? Penny asked her friend.
Well.
Dammit, Amy! Penny huffed.
I haven't gotten the chance yet to approach the subject. Amy justified her recalcitrance. I'm afraid he'll run away again.
Amy, let me be clear. Penny said. After Leonard and me are back from our honeymoon, we will live together. Whether it'll be here in this building or somewhere else, I don't know yet but Sheldon will not be living in the same apartment.
Fine. Amy huffed.
Go back a minute, clothing has an expiration date? Bernadette interjected.
Yes, it's called fashion. Penny nodded as Amy picked up the red dress from the top of the keep pile.

The Rhinitis Revelation. Sheldon's insane jealousy when Mary spends time with all his friends but does nothing he wants to do is priceless. Then after Amy hurts Sheldon's feelings by saying he has the same emotions as the less intelligent, his interaction with a common man at the bus stop is priceless and then hilarious at the end when it rains and the common man deploys his umbrella in a pointed manner while Sheldon is left to get wet. Finally the childish satisfaction a sickened Sheldon takes in finally having his mother to himself.

Has to be The Hot Troll Deviation. Every single plot in that was hysterical, from Howard in bed with Katee Sackhoff and George Takei to Sheldon and Rajs fight over the desk. Even Leonard and Penny, who didnt figure in any plot, had some classic lines.
Sometimes your movements are so lifelike, I forget youre not a real boy.
Not since I found out the teddy bear you gave me had a webcam in it.

I'm not sure if it was an underrated episode but there is an episode when leonard and penny celebrate their first anniversary as husband and wife. I literally laughed during that episode. Also another one of my favourites is when sheldon and leonard go to texas for sheldon to make up with his brother and at the same time everyone else except for penny gets pink eye.

I have to agree with this list about the episode where Penny gets addicted to Age of Conan as being an under appreciated episode. I actually reviewed it on my gaming blog after a rewatch. Though, honestly, I was looking to rewatch the episode with Star Wars: The Old Republic but I found that one first.

I enjoy the one where Sheldon gets sad about Leonard leaving the apartment and flips the breaker switch for the building (I think it's the Spoiler Alert Segmentation. Not sure if it's underappreciated by the masses, but it's not one that gets referred to a lot when I talk to other Big Bang fans I know.

The Troll Manifestation is best because of the reading of Amy's Little House on the Prairie fanfiction. It uses a few cliches, and it's missing the presence of Laura Ingalls Wilder's main characters. but it does it's job of tugging at all the romantic heartstrings.

I can't say anything else than the last couple of episodes. Penny and Leonard finally starting a family, and Sheldons speach in sweeden. When they all sit around the table for the last time and the intro song start playing slowly kills me every time.

The scavenger hunt episode where Leonard is mocked for going to Princeton, Howard & Amy rock out to Neil Diamond and Sheldon inexplicably packs a bowling ball to later exclaim My brain is better than EVERYBODIES! Is frequently replayed in our house.

HE DIDNT LOSE THAT KEYCHAIN YEARS AGO! They mention in the episode about Amys apartment repairs that Penny secretly removed it and got rid of the Batman on Leonards keychain after they were married, along with many of his other collectibles

I loved the episode where Penny slips in the shower and Sheldon has to help her get medical care. While the guys are getting high on special cookies. When Penny makes Sheldon sing Soft kitty and his facial expressions are amazing.

I don't remember title, but this episode in early seasons, where Haward and guys wanted to find GIRLFRIEND FOR SHELDON is SUPER underappreciated. That inteligent, 'perfect' woman. Who came just BIT too late, so she is out.

The Parking Spot Escalation showed how fixated Sheldon can be over things that should be irrelevant due to very simple yet vital facts, such as in this case- not driving or even owning a damn car!

And the one where Amy wants Sheldon to PLEASE PASS THE BUTTER!

Another underrated episode is the one where Sheldon has a dream with a tiny Spock telling him to open the transporter toy Penny bought them. Leanord Nimoy is the voice of the tiny Spock

The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization. Out of nowhere Penny having her geekiest moment of entire series, trying to blow up Howards brain. The look on Sheldons face is priceless.

My favorite is when Penny gets addicted to videos. I also enjoy when Bernadette tells Penny that they are out of wine. Penny bolts up and tells Bernadette she should drive.

An underrated episode is the one where Sheldon tells Amy about his storage unit because of how many people that could relate to Sheldon's feeling with giving things away.

That shot where Penny is realizing she needs help because of gaming.
She looks exactly like Goldie Hawn
With the one eye covered. It's uncanny.
