For me the reason I don't hold 'The Big Bang Theory' in as high esteem as shows such as 'Friends' or 'Cheers' is because it is too inconsistent a show.
This isn't a great episode, not really. It has its moments, but Sheldon acts like first a brat and then goes about not really treating Amy with much respect behind her back. But we as an audience are supposed to be on his side. It's very mixed messaging.
There is one scene where he speaks more genuinely about her, and that's the best bit of the whole episode, but other than that, this is fairly run of the mill, warm but not overly funny stuff.
