I voted Leonard. Sheldon is so much that kind of hyper-intellectual autistic person that overload the crap out of me to be around.

I'd say Sheldon, because he'd know what he's watching, he won't flip the channels and will not talk much (presumably, as he would like to concentrate on the movie). And I expect that we'd have the same preferences when it comes to TV, no talk shows, breaking news, romantic comedies, etc.

Leonard. Though I adore Sheldon (he's my favorite character on the show), he would most likely intimidate me, as was previously mentioned by others.

Leonard... because since he watches shows with Sheldon watching them with me even with all my eccentricities I'll seem like a lovely charmingly normal easy to get along with person. And he's less likely to throw a fit if I want him to put something on pause while I grab a drink outside of whatever break schedule Sheldon would set up.

I picked Leonard because as much as I like Sheldon, I think his OCD tendencies would clash with mine. I'd sit in his spot and refuse to move... just as a matter of principle.

Sheldon for sure. I don't really like Leonard. He tries too hard, and Sheldon just does what he wants. I like people like that. Silence wouldn't be awkward, and conversation wouldn't be confusing since it would be blunt and straightforward. He's really logical, too, and it would be a relief to be around someone who is similar to me. It'd just be nice to be around someone like that. I feel like I could relax and not worry about normal social interaction.

Plus I know he loves explaining things, and I could sit there for hours listening to him drone because I love hearing people talk about things like that.

I would definitely drive Sheldon crazy. So, it would have to be Leonard, but he's a little bit boring.

If it's a show we both like, Sheldon.

1) I don't want to fight over where to sit.
2) I'd like to be able to watch Babylon 5.

Easy: Leonard.

Sheldon is by far the most annoying character, while Leo would be better company. I mean Sheldon is funny at first but as time goes on you just want to tell him "STFU!! !"

I voted Sheldon.

He would say his Sheldon krap, and I would twist it into my krapola, and the tick-tocker would clock down the seconds until one of us tried to strangle the other.

Sheldon! Although we sit on the same end of the couch, so that could be problematic! :o LOL

Just be. My husband likes Leonard better but I don't find him trustworthy.

PS If you are neurotypical, could you please just answer in a post rather than in the poll, thank you :)

Probably neither one. The characters are funny to watch on television, but in real life, they might be too cartoon-like.
