Penny asks Leonard to lie to her father, while Howard, Raj and Bernadette pull an all-nighter at a telescope.
Ant threesome involving Raj, Howard and Bernadette would be…interesting. It would probably end with Bernadette drinking heavily in the corner while Howard and Raj “discuss Ugandan affairs.”
Is Kelly Cuoco walking again already, or are they just getting really good with shooting her from angles, using a double, and CGI? 
Frank Lundy is Penny’s dad?
I didn’t think about it until half way through, but did she ever walk during a scene or was she always standing still? It’s been a few weeks hasn’t it? Couldn’t she be in a walking cast at this point?
I laughed a lot this episode. And I was in synch with everyone screaming, “Nooooooooooooo!!!” when Raj kissed Howard.
Raj and Bernadette doing impressions of Howard’s mom were spot on.
I loved Leonard kissing Penny when she didn’t want to.
A very good episode tonight!
He didn’t touch my telescope!
I actually checked IMDB to make sure Bernadette wasn’t Howard’s Mom’s voice.
I knew she wasn’t, because I looked it up recently! 
“Monkey butler?” Raj wants a monkey butler? He’d make such a great Doper!
I think she can walk now, at least a little bit. But in this episode she was only ever standing, or took just a single step; on a couple of occasions you can tell she was keeping balance by leaning on props. There was a double in a couple of shots, and some very clever editing, especially when she marched off after her Dad wanted to plead with Leonard.
I loved this episode, it was hi-LARIOUS!
I thought Bernadette’s was dubbed with the “real” Howard’s mom’s voice. It was TOO close to the real voice and it had that dubbed feeling where the physical actions don’t match the voice exactly. Maybe the actor’s impression was no where close.
No, Wild Bill Hickock is Penny’s dad.
I notice despite Penny’s Dad appearing, we still don’t know Penny’s last name.
“Woverine has never shown the slight interest in helping othrs avoid prostate cancer.”
I’ll take “Sentences I never expected to hear in this or any other lifetime for $200” Alex.
Big Bang is the only show that could start with a discussion of super-hero prostate exams and end with the audience laughing hysterically over the phrase “No, he did not touch my big telescope.”
This espisode is being added to my list
Of Big Bangs not to be missed.
The father of Penny
Male-bonded with Lenny.
And OHMIGOD that KISS!
Remember Raj also wanted to be King of the Rabbits. “I would be kind to my rabbit subjects…at first.”
Oh yeah, that was a great line, from the “Adhesive Duck Deficiency” episode. Funny!
This episode was outstanding from start to finish. Everyone on the show got great lines and laughs, and it was well written. I loved the part where Sheldon asked about the pizza, because I said, “What about the pizza?” And Sheldon says, “I’m starting to think we’ll never get that pizza.”
So it shows whoever wrote this episode knew what they were doing.
They even back followed up with Raj saying he hasn’t kissed a girl in a year by having him say “he lies” which would cover the continuity of him saying he had a deaf girlfriend. So now there isn’t an error.
As I said, whoever wrote this episode, was clearly thinking like a fan and was on his toes.
And even though Leonard was less than gracious, it was great to see down and out Leonard have a day in the sun, if only for awhile
Is “monkey butler” a reference to something? I remember Bart used it on the Simpsons, episode where they parodied “Lord of The Flies”
