Katey Segal and Michael McBrayer are playing Penny’s mom and brother. We all know Penny’s brother is a drug dealer, not the type I’m used to McBrayer playing, that’s for sure. It looks there are going to be a lot of parents in the premier. Wonder how they’ll work them all in. ---

Dean Norris from Breaking Bad is also a guest star. How they gonna fit all these people into a half hour show? ---

And will we finally learn Penny’s last name? And will we find out what happened between Leonard’s dad and Sheldon’s mom (nudge-nudge-wink-wink)? ---

Jack McBrayer played Ray’s drug dealing brother on “Archer” as well. Looks like he’s found a new niche. ---

Her last name **has** to be mundane. Otherwise Howard would have made fun of it. ---

I love Katey Sagal playing Penny’s mother. I wonder if there’ll be any shoutouts to 8SR? ---

_BBT_ has referenced a lot of geek obsessions, have they ever mentioned _Futurama_? That was another show that was quite understanding of geek culture, and put a lot more effort into it than most shows did. ---

I hope Katey brings her Peg Bundy wig! And I still thinks Penny’s middle name starts with an “R” and her maiden name is “Cade”
