Does anyone else prefer the show when Amy and Bernadette become main characters and are apart of the 'core seven'? From s4 - s12?

Let me be clear though. The entire show is amazing. It's my favourite sitcom. I've seen the entire show from the first episode all the way through three times. But I don't really enjoy the first three seasons as much because Amy and Bernadette aren't in those episodes yet. I always find myself impatiently waiting for season 4 so I can watch all the dynamics of the core seven characters.

I know some people don't like Amy and Bernadette. But does anyone feel the same? I always start from season four now each time I rewatch TBBT and watch till the end because I love all the seven characters so much. It's the fact that with Amy and Bernadette they are a complete group. When it's just the five of them (Penny, Leonard, Raj, Howard, Sheldon) I just feel like something is missing in the dynamic and the two girls complete it. Maybe it's just me, I don't know if anyone feels the same. I always specifically start from s4 ep5 when I rewatch (when Amy wants Sheldon to meet his mother because the episode before Howard and Bernadette get back together)

Lemme know if anyone feels the same. And if you don't I'd like to hear everyone's opinions. This is also just my opinion though as I really love the core seven.
