On the show the Big Bang Theory, it was shown on polls that the reason people wanted the show was because of Kaley Cuoco if she and the character was not there, the show would be about emotional impaired nerds and one narcissistic borderline terrorist.

In the Flash. I believe way the show still exist is mainly Cisco and Caitlin who contribute the most on the show and H.R and Joe and Harry and Jesse. Wrong again. What drives the show and brings in ratings is Sheldon. He's been called the break out character and the only reason the show so exists after it's decline. He got a spin off called Young Sheldon as proof, which could not have existed if he want popular.

Deny it all you want. Barry is loved by the fandom and what makes the show exist. There could still be a Flash show without Cisco, Caitlin, Wells, and especially Jesse (who has become pretty much irrelevant this season), but the show cannot exist without Barry. The 90s Flash show never had any of the above mentioned characters and was still successful.
