This episode goes in for a few fairly standard sitcom type plots (the warring neighbours, a dog) but manages on the whole to put a new and fairly interesting twist on them.
I'm really enjoying lots of elements of this show, and feel that by this stage of the first series the writers have done a good job of making it feel like an ensemble piece that Sheldon just happens to be at the centre of, rather than it being all on his head. We know what happens when a spin-off is all on one persons head after all (hi 'Joey').
It's not one of the better episodes, but it's warm and its engaging, and that goes a long way.
