I think they did well by changing the plot, sets and characters. Adding two more nerds was a good way of tapping the full potential. Because of making Howard the kind of sex maniac, Sheldon could evolve to the Sheldon we know (without any fetish or something like that). Although Raj is the guy with a little hind quarters fetish, if I remember correctly. At least they called a magazine he possessed 'Mumbai's Prachtärsche' in the German version (I don't know how they called it in the English one) ;) I can't imagine TBBT without Raj, Howard and their 'Bromance'^^. And a Gilda-type was later added with Amy in my opinion. The actual apartment is way brighter and larger which makes it better to gather there altogether. In my opinion those are the best scenes.

Summarized: They did a good job creating the sitcom the way it is. Otherwise it would've  an average show and not one of the greatest and successful these days (alongside with 'How I met your mother').
