Strange. I've never looked atthe credits of the others so that's why I didn't know. Well, they have Sara so why notLaurie too. Bring in Roseanne, she would make a great character on BBT.

That sort of upset Sheldon, needless to say. The gang was very surprised to find Mary was a down-to-earth Mom, and a devout Christian who talked a lot about Jesus. If I remember correctly, Mary went down to CalTech to get Sheldon's job back.Laurie Metcalf was cast in the role.

Well, the biggest problem there (forgetting the gender thing) is that Sheldon's dad is deceased.

Well, I may have watched all of three Roseanne episodes in my life -- never was a Roseanne fan. And none of the three episodes were when Galecki was on. However, I was certainly aware of who Sara Gilbert was (aside from being Melissa's sister) and that she played Darlene. I was aware of an actor named Johnny Galecki who played Darlene's boyfriend/husband David, although TBBT was the first time I watched him on a show.And, for the record, I knew who Laurie Metcalf was, and who she played on Roseanne.In other words, unless you're from Mars, or only recently born, there's a good chance you're aware of most of the people on Roseanne, even if you didn't care for the show.10 years! That's very recent history. Goodness, I know who was on many of the sitcoms from the 50s, and I wasn't even born until the mid 1960s!

Well, there's a lot of us "old folk" who love TBBT!(And correction to my last post. I believe Sara is a HALF-sister of Melissa...)

Yeah! Penny is a "Big Ol Five" and it would be fun to see how she got that way. Leonards parents could be fun too. Could you imagine Roseanne Barr as Leonards DAD??!!? LOL But who could the mom be?? Leonard is so uptight it would have to be a wild, happy spirit like Ellen Degeneress (?). My kids get embarassed when I sing silly songs and do silly dances, so I can see them growing up like Leonard. On the bright side, Leonard is the closest to "normal" of the group. Sheldon pegged him as the veritable "Mac Daddy" and I recall, when Penny and her hottie friends popped in after dancing and said "we stopped by to have sex with you", Lenny is the only one to notice some disturbance in the force, pause the Halo game and say he thought he heard something. So close and yet... such a nerd.P.S. My wife is a Big Ol Five!! LOL

She is the only one that can reason with him and understands his social retardation. Everyone else just kind of tolerates it, but she truly gets where he is coming from however she won't have any of it. Remember when she made him march back to the dean to get his job back. HOward's mother needs to remain faceless and somewhat of an enigma. Like Mr. Wilson on home improvement (i think that's the name of the show). I love hearing Howard argue with his mother on the phone!!!

Do you know in what episode it was discussed? I was hoping they would get David Hyde Pierce to play him because he looks so much like Sheldon face-wise and Sheldon reminds me a lot of Niles from Frasier.

Apparently his parents are somewhat responsible for him turning out the way he did; they put him in AP courses, had him learn to play the Cello, and denied him Birthdays (The Hamburger Postulate and The Peanut Reaction). He also mentioned in The Grasshopper Experiment that his parents aren't happy with 'his limited earning potential'. It was also mentioned that his mother published scientific papers.I imagine Leonard's mother would be tall, uptight, and very Sheldon-like. In fact, she could be the character who actually likes Sheldon, maybe wishing Leonard was more like him. Leonard's dad would have to be short, nerdy, and lactose intolerant, basically where Leonard gets it from. They would both have to wear glasses, but his mother would be more formal and have her hair pulled tight and his dad would dress more casual, like Leonard. It would be a wonderful dynamic for the show!Well that's how I picture Leonard's parents, anyway... I'm sure that it will come up soon.
