The Big Bang Theory episode last night dealt with the death of Carol Ann Susi, who played Mrs. Wolowitz. I thought they did quite well in saluting a lesser but well-liked character.
YES!!!!
Now that was the CBS high point of the evening. I was still half under the impression that they would just computer generate Susi's voice because she was just a modern day (but much funnier version) of Carlton (this is Carlton your doorman) from "Rhoda". Unseen, but still an important supporting character.
I'm so glad I was wrong. The penultimate scene, when Wolowitz got the phone call, was unexpected and very moving.
Very tasteful, and very unlike anything Lorre has ever done before. The whole cast did a wonderful job. They even humanized Sheldon for five minutes.
