    'Guilty pleasure'

    This (and previous) episode(s) are among best ones in whole series. Or among best subtle humor I ever had luck to see. This really does not need laugh track, better said that would ruin it.

    Timing is perfect, now it's not focused so much on Y. Sheldon self, but other's have plenty of screen time too, and I think that it is right to make it really enjoyable.

    Rating: 10 - because there was no a boring tenth second :-)

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      George Sr. brings Ms. Hutchins some "Shipley's donuts and coffee". Shipley's is a Texas-based southeastern donut chain.
    • Goofs
      When Sheldon is in Georgie's room talking to Ms. Hutchins, a Texas license plate is visible over his shoulder, tacked to the wall. That style of plate, with the space shuttle in the upper left corner, was first introduced in Feb 2000, but the episode takes place in 1991.
    • Quotes

      Sheldon Cooper: I'm really sorry, Mom.

      Mary Cooper: I forgive you. But just because you straightened things out with Dr. Sturgis doesn't mean you're going back to college.

      Sheldon Cooper: Yes, it does.

      Mary Cooper: No, it doesn't.

      Sheldon Cooper: I hope you know you're jeopardizing our relationship.

      Mary Cooper: I will take that risk.

      [kissing him good night]

      Mary Cooper: Good night.

      Sheldon Cooper: You know I'll eventually wear you down.

      Mary Cooper: We'll see. I'm pretty tough.

      Sheldon Cooper: [narrating] I eventually wore her down. There's just so much of me anybody can take.
