It's actually really sweet that Sheldon defended Penny to Leonard's mom- especially since she didn't even know it happened. Shows just how much she meant to him
I was just thinking the same thing. That is quality right there. She can play just about any type of part, extremely well. She does haughty biatch real well.
No. She analyses people against their will. Psychotherapists do this with their children, I know some of them and they all hate it. And she has "cold empathy". This means, she understands why people behave the way they behave, she even understands their feelings but she just doesn't care about them. This is not uncommon. I experienced this with my dad (as Leonard with Beverly). Beverly is not the worst. She just doesn't care about other people, but she doesn't use her psychological knowledge to manipulate them.
The Big Bang Theory was just super fantastic as I've said before, when talking about the Clip's I've seen. Now rehashing the Episode's has a real zeal too them. For the former one about Leonard's Mom? Played by the Very Talented, and extremely, & Greatly accomplished Actress Christine Baranske. Man what Role couldn't this Woman Play. Till recently I'll admit I couldn't place Her in thing's, other than Mama Mia, and some other smaller Roles. But Truely She is Dynamite 🧨🧨 and Gunpowder Mixed into a lethal Combination of just Fantastic abilities, that come out when She is in Front of the Cameras. She's a definite universal ♾️ phenomenon of the Entertainment Industry that She's excellently Suited For. Thank You so Much for Sharing these Fantastic memories with US. To Miss Baranske I wish Her Continued Success and Good luck with Her Life. May God Bless You. 👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏🤔🤔.
I feel so bad for Leonard. His mom called him a whiny baby, humiliated him, wouldn’t show him approval, tell him she was proud of him, favored his siblings and their achievements, wouldn’t show him affection, and abused him emotionally
The last part she took a lesson from Mrs. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper gave Sheldon affection that helped his self esteem to not give up but it cost him his social skills. He wasn't very social until Penny started being part of his daily life.
I know this is about Leonard's mom, but honestly, Penny was the best thing to happen to both Sheldon and Leonard. Sheldon developed social skills, and Leonard self respect.
Out of all scenes with her I always thought the last scene before the show the ended was the best. The best form of closure acceptance and love. Such a great show and great writing.
Wish they showed more into the mother-son dynamic. A quick episode of Leonard forgiving his mother in the end and somehow we are to believe that years of trauma is healed by a single discourse. I liked her scenes with Penny. And more with Penny as well. It would have been great if they showed her interactions with Leonard's siblings as well. The show majorly focussed on Sheldon's family because by the end they had to set up for Young Sheldon. Wish they alternated between each of the characters' childhood and growth phase. That would have been fun.
Now I understand why he doesn’t move out from the apartment no matter how difficult it is with his rules and all to live with Sheldon it’s because his mom is like Sheldon
I really wish they had revealed that Leonard brothers found success after cutting ties with her after realizing she was a terrible mother who didn't deserve their love and not the other way around. But from what we have seen, Leonard siblings are very much like her.
In fairness, she seems to be far more of a researcher than an actual therapy practicing psychiatrist, I think. I could be wrong but I can’t see her administering therapy
@@10293 you may be right. I never watched the show just these clips. Regardless she shouldn’t use her title and position to label, demonize, and bring people down. She seems more like a sociopath than a mental health professional.
@@zainabaria6838 that’s not always true. Some shrinks in private practice will provide therapy. Some in hospitals will be primarily meds only. But whatever the case she has to do at least some sort of patient interview to find out what the symptoms/problems are in order to prescribe the right meds. To do this correctly requires some empathy, positive regard, and a general desire to help people. This woman has none of those traits.
Penny was always written well. She might not have had the education the guys had, or the other girls, but she wasn't stupid and was very good with people.
Like FRIENDS & SEINFELD, one of my favorite things in BIG BANG THEORY was the parents & families of the main characters. I couldn’t wait for each of them to reappear again.
One of the few things actually good through out the show was her. Especially the clash with Sheldons mother was well written and hilarous. Not like mote of the other stuff especially later seasons...
Yeah Im a fan of Christine. Nobody does comically condescending as well. And on THE GOOD WIFE/THE GOOD FIGHT playing Dianne she even pulled off dignified yet vulnerable....
I forget her name but she was incredible in every role she ever played, in every movie or tv show. She comes off here as someone who uses their education for the lack of a personality. A dark childhood where she uses words to make sure conversations are in her superior authority. The last scene where she cried or did she? We will never know, but she at least faked it because her son needed that to feel the human side of her.
BBT was regular watching for my fiancee and me, because of it we have developed a mutual interest in the science of Cosmology. Started with Cosmos and Carl Sagen, now moving upward (or downward) into the realm of quarks and quantum mechanics. Fascinating stuff.
Say what you want about her, but she owned every scene she was in. 😂😂😂
The actress is great, she's not the character.
Chuck Lorre is an idiot; she never got what she deserved.
@redacted2275
I hate when commenter mix actor & role too, but the statement works either way in this case.
@@youmustcreateachanne Bruh. The last four season were GARBAGE and a disappointment.
Absolutely!
It's actually really sweet that Sheldon defended Penny to Leonard's mom- especially since she didn't even know it happened. Shows just how much she meant to him
True what scene was that agin? I think it’s because she reminded him of his twin sister Missy
This actress nailed every role she played throughout the years! I saw her a lot in movies and series back in the 90s as a teenager.
I was just thinking the same thing. That is quality right there. She can play just about any type of part, extremely well. She does haughty biatch real well.
She's amazing on The Good Wife and The Good Fight.
@@TheBabarSuhail I first saw Christine Baranski on Cybil Shepherd's sitcom as her near-psychotic best friend. Comedy or drama, she can play anything.
She’s in Mamma mia too.😁
Lover her in Chicago
My both parents were therapists. Nobody can laugh more about her because this is so close to reality 😂
@hannabergmann8831 Oh no! I thought it was ridiculous comedy.
Seriously??
My sympathies - you must be a really strong person! (Only one sister who had a doctorate degree - I loved her anyway!)
No. She analyses people against their will. Psychotherapists do this with their children, I know some of them and they all hate it. And she has "cold empathy".

@@hannabergmann8831interesting point. She’s „just“ drop dead honest to the point it hurts but indeed it’s not with a per se negative intention.
"Oh dear woman can you read another book". 😂 Best sentence
“When God writes one, I will” 😂
@@josephvillalobos5233 I see what u did here.😅
The comeback was even just as EPIC, 😂😂😂
And yet, Sheldon’s mom was the better mother, in all her simplicity.
@@elden5052totally agree
*"YOUR MOTHER IS HERE!!!"* 😂😂😂
And the rest is history.
Penny and her future Mother-in-law getting loaded together. One of the gems of the series.
Loaded meaning have intercourse?
@@user-uq7jm4ix1n No, loaded as in getting drunk.
@@user-uq7jm4ix1nbro wtf
Christine Baranski can do no wrong in my book--she is such a fantastic actress!!
I'm tell you that women is? she was reminds her of Dr. Lilith Sternin of Frasier.
True
Thank You for reminding me of Christine's First Name.

Agreed.

you are so needy
And those were her good points.
@@pouetpouetdaddy5😂😂😂
I always thought Beverly was a female Sheldon, unable to communicate human emotions well. Maybe that's why she and Sheldon got along so well.
Well...leonard is so needy
The hug between Leonard and his mom, seemed just about as awkward as Voldemort hugging Draco during the battle of Hogwarts. 😅
The firts one, the last one was actually really hurtful
The last one was perfect
The last part she took a lesson from Mrs. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper gave Sheldon affection that helped his self esteem to not give up but it cost him his social skills. He wasn't very social until Penny started being part of his daily life.

Love Christine Baranski. She's awesome
She was also Martha May in Jim Carrey’s The Grinch 💚
Out of all scenes with her I always thought the last scene before the show the ended was the best. The best form of closure acceptance and love. Such a great show and great writing.
The last scene was so emotional that the audience became silent.😢
No laugh track for once😊
Nothing beats watching a veteran character actress not only steal the scenes but own them! God I love this woman.
Brilliantly written and acted. That last hug! Nuff said. 🙂
Her first gesture that felt like genuine affection. You could even tell from her hesitation how hard it was for her to let that part of herself show.
I'm glad they let it be a serious moment
She is an amazing actress. she truly can transform into any role. Seriously from Mamma Mia to this row; it’s such a crazy range.
Know her from Mamma Mia too!
And The Good Wife, and Cybil Shepherd's sitcom. Baranski's range is remarkable.
AND MARTHA MAYYY
And "Happy Family" sitcom
The "i have to urinate" scenes were totally overlooked 😂
6:06 "well we can't have that". 😂😂😂
my favourite part 😂
"Well also If they DID have coitus we'll all be needing a skilled psychotherapist" 🤣
5:01-5:05
"You guys saw it, we bonded." 😂
Wish they showed more into the mother-son dynamic. A quick episode of Leonard forgiving his mother in the end and somehow we are to believe that years of trauma is healed by a single discourse.

Sometimes the years of trauma are wiped away with a tear.
Its not an instant healing, its a start in the right direction.
@@kharilane1340 Iagree with you to some degree. But I do believe I shouldn't expect so much from a sitcom with limited time of interaction.
@@user-yq3fz9ch5q 🙃 I guess, sometimes, yeah.
She was the life of the party
Now I understand why he doesn’t move out from the apartment no matter how difficult it is with his rules and all to live with Sheldon it’s because his mom is like Sheldon
Wow! Hadn't thought of it that way.
Oh lord, Beverley Hofstadter is indeed witty and humorous. 😅😂.
The ending got me thinking... Why isn't there a Young Leonard show?
Because that would be nothing short of a thriller drama!
I loved him as David in Roseanne
@@NiVi192Yeah, to find a good scene in his childhood would be really REALLY hard!
Everybody Hates Leonard
Because Sheldon’s family has redeeming qualities, Leonard’s mom is described as being downright terrible the whole time
"So needy..." 😂
I really wish they had revealed that Leonard brothers found success after cutting ties with her after realizing she was a terrible mother who didn't deserve their love and not the other way around.
But from what we have seen, Leonard siblings are very much like her.
“… and if she’s good enough for him then she’s good enough for me” wow😭😭
What a therapist she must be. Cold, condescending, zero empathy, aloof, and self-centered. Must be thrilling to be her patient.
In fairness, she seems to be far more of a researcher than an actual therapy practicing psychiatrist, I think. I could be wrong but I can’t see her administering therapy
@@10293 you may be right. I never watched the show just these clips. Regardless she shouldn’t use her title and position to label, demonize, and bring people down. She seems more like a sociopath than a mental health professional.
Psychiatrist! She doesn’t counsel people, she really just prescribes medication which explains why she’s so analytical

When someone told me that Leonard's mother was going to appear on TBBT, my first thought was, "I bet Baranski plays her!"
She was magnificent!
A brilliant brilliant actress! Thank you Christine Baranski!❤
Christine Baranski owned this role.
Christine Baranski is a gem! Great actress
When Mary and Beverly fought, where is this iconic scene 😂 Leonard and Sheldon should actually switch moms.
Her character is evidence of a brilliant writing 😊
When phenomenal writing and great acting drive each other to astonishing heights.
Christine Baranski is so underrated.
I loved the episode where Leonard and his mother came to point where she was grateful to be "forgiven." The hug was extremely moving.
Introducing his mother explains why Leonard gravitated toward Sheldon in the first place.
She really is one of the best actresses in the business
She’s a hilariously good actress
I love her honest opinion of Raj and Howard
Even Beverley can't see that penny manipulate Beverley to stay
Penny was always written well. She might not have had the education the guys had, or the other girls, but she wasn't stupid and was very good with people.
5:08 Wow, Judd Hirsch plays Leonard's father! Cool...
Bible thumping bumpkin! I died! 😂😂😂😂
0:37 this one always had me going 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
Too bad that it wasn't included the moment when she starts to destroy Howard and Raj 😂😂😂
I always loved the part when Howard say 0:46 " what nooo!!" and Beverley misunderstood and say "why not?"
Always entertaining when she comes on
Loved her in Chicago, but this show is where she really won me over ❤ amazing actress and really fun to mimic her voice~
Surprisingly the last scene made me cry 🥺
Baranski is a wonderful actor.
She was hilarious on Cybil and she is brilliant on TBBT.
Son of a b....that's where I first saw her. I totally forgot about that show. Used to watch it all the time because she was hilarious!
Aloha hienz57 says hey yeah I mean cybil was so funny I hated to watch skinny women though her character cracked me up long live the truth
I swear Leonards mother is like Cruella lol
Christine Baranski is a phenomenal actress. She owns her characters. Truly skilled.
1:50 omg she's a dark horse😂😂😂😂 😂😂
Like FRIENDS & SEINFELD, one of my favorite things in BIG BANG THEORY was the parents & families of the main characters. I couldn’t wait for each of them to reappear again.
I love all her scenes! ❤️
She is hands down my favorite character 😂
aww that ending scene ❤
It’s strange they never show Leonard’s brother and sister
I like to think that Beverly was inspired in Piaget who experimented on his own kids, if I remember correctly xD
Christine Baranski is a treasure.
One of the best parts of the show.
Excellent character Arc 👏
That last scene had me bawling like a baby. Lol 😭😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
What an actress!
One of the few things actually good through out the show was her. Especially the clash with Sheldons mother was well written and hilarous. Not like mote of the other stuff especially later seasons...
7:42 Penny’s disgusted face was the same face I made. I love it.
00:55 Love how Howard is nodding yes the whole time he's denying it.
Best actors, best writing. I miss this show but enjoying the reruns. Btw, all are great but looking back, Kaley Cuoco was awesome in this show!
Brilliant show ❤
Love to see her and this character more in a series or appearances in other series
Christine Baranski *owned* those scenes.
Yeah Im a fan of Christine. Nobody does comically condescending as well. And on THE GOOD WIFE/THE GOOD FIGHT playing Dianne she even pulled off dignified yet vulnerable....
The way she said "Penny"🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
5:07 best scene 😂😂
I’ve always loved Buranski 😂😂😂 this character always reminds me of the extremely emotionally distant mom on 2 1/2 Men
"I don't see why i should watch your father parade around with some Bible thumping bumpkin" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why am I craving an interaction between Beverley and Captain Holt's mom
3:50 😂😂😂😅 omg as Penny said
If anyone wants to see her in a leading role you should check out a show called The Good Wife, really good show regardless as well.
I love her!
She is the best ❤
The last scene - end part really got me -
CHristine Baransky was a superb choice to play Leonard's mother...she's one of my favorite actors 💖
Penny trying to thaw the iceberg and actually making some progress!
2:25➡️Sheldon spoke very fondly of her!😂
I loved it when Sheldon's mother and Leonard's mother met ❤
1:57 mommy 😢 😂😂
I love how Penny is in absolute tears and Leonard knows exactly why
stunning actress every scene she kills it
I forget her name but she was incredible in every role she ever played, in every movie or tv show. She comes off here as someone who uses their education for the lack of a personality. A dark childhood where she uses words to make sure conversations are in her superior authority. The last scene where she cried or did she? We will never know, but she at least faked it because her son needed that to feel the human side of her.
hated her character so much in the show - always felt sorry for leonard. Goes to show how well she played the part
I cried in the last scene.
Leonard's reaction to "your mother is here" 😂😂
Christine Baranski is a treasure and I love her ❤
If you think this was top rate, check out Diane Lockhart on The Good Wife!
BBT was regular watching for my fiancee and me, because of it we have developed a mutual interest in the science of Cosmology. Started with Cosmos and Carl Sagen, now moving upward (or downward) into the realm of quarks and quantum mechanics. Fascinating stuff.
Brilliant acting 😂❤💯
I liked it twice and then again 🥹😭😂
Loved the smile on Leonard’s face when Beverly asked Howard about his homosexual feelings to Raj!
If they ever make a series about Beverly growing up it would be the most fascinating thing ever. She is the goat.
