pracuss Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Having viewed every episode many times, I wonder if we'll ever be introduced to the mother of Howard. We've met Leonard's and Sheldon's mother and both of Raj's parents. Now even Penny's father has appeared. I would like to see her in an upcoming epeisode. What do you think?

BillF63 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I don't think so. There are many sitcoms that have had a character that was never seen. Both Cheers and then Fraiser did that. The actress who plays Howard's Mom can be seen in an episode of That 70s Show and Seinfeld. I really do think it is funnier this way. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0839836/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Penelope Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Give-us-a-Memaw-appearance-on-Big-Bang/182219421801145 I think Howard's mother is best left a mystery, sort of like Wilson on Home Improvement. We probably all imagine her in different ways, which is cool. HOWEVER, I think a visit from Sheldon's Memaw would be a NUMMY treat!!

SmartbutSlow Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Why would we want to see Howard's Mom? If you have to, show her from behind walking into Junior's Deli Bakery like Maris on Frasier! No need see the rest! Leave a little to the imagination. I think we all know what Howard's Mom looks like just listening to her voice. Please, I don't want to have nightmares!

Mindcrime Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Are you crank? Or is this only to make sure, we never see her. I would like to sleep and have no interests in getting nightmares. *g* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roquesrus Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The idea of having th opportunity to find-out Howard's mother will be the equivalent to colapse a blue gigant star and poop-out an iron fist core of dreadful skin fleaks of a suedy culture meal. I think her appearance will unbalance the big bang mathematical formula... However, Sheldon's endeaver to familiarize himself with any of his friends MOMs, will sucomb to met a MILF and have a black hole of passion. Fans, never give up with have too many episodes ahead.

Selenium Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Hmm... I'm also wondering what she would look like. But then on the other hand, it would be beter not to show her... I'm not a fan of Horror and not showing her is also why it is always so funny to see Howard yell at her. I always picture her as the woman who played Joey's agent in Friends (I thought she was called Estelle?). Maybe it is the same actress... they do have similar voices!

iluvSheldon Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I agree that it would be best if they dont show her. It definitely adds to the comedy of the show to hear the crazy things they yell at each other. I always pictured her as a bigger woman (due to the many references to her girdle), who wears a bathrobe all day and has curlers in her hair. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon's Girl Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I highly doubt it. Not seeing Howard's mother while she's yelling at her son is part of the fun! :D The most we're going to know about her is the actress who does her voice and the bits of info Howard gives out about her.

Kerri Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 No - I don't think I'd want to. Maybe the back of her head or something like that but I think the voice booming through the walls at Howard is a total scream. I like the mystery of not knowing what she looks like; her voice is all the character she needs. My five cents worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWhiteRose Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 No I don`t think we will ever see Howards mother. For me its more funny to hear her yelling from behind :D I don`t wanna see her in person ´cause its her special voice which I love :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotDenseState Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah, I don't think we'll ever see the character on television. It's part of semi-classic yelling / hidden character thing from so many sitcom shows. Part of the fun comes from imagining what she looks like from the comfort of our Berkline theater seating. What we imagine is more funny than what they can produce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maricha Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I doubt it ,but if we do I think we'll be pretty surprised at how good she looks because the voice sounds just like Julie Kavner -who ,in real life, looks just fine instead of like the gorgon we are imagining.In fact in the 70s she looked a lot like Bernadette does now so Howard is not straying from the familiar.

BBTfan Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I like the bodiless voice, personally. By now, however, the viewers, on an individual basis, have all built her up mentally on how she looks. If they try to introduce an actor to the voice, I'm sure MOST of the viewers will be disappointed or at least thinking "that's not how I pictured her". By now it's best to just leave it alone. If it works, why break it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picture that woman too - must be the voice! the fact that we never get to see her adds to the humour, IMO. I for one would be disappointed if she looked different to what I imagine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsayz Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 yeah i picture Joey's agent also but it isn't her though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Lane Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 At first I suspected it may well be Howard himself doing the voice... he does a mean impersonation of her when Sheldon calls to say he's sick (code: milky green heh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazingaGirl Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I like the mystery of not knowing what she looks like, but getting all sorts of ideas from the voice. It's a bit like The Nanny, where we never saw Morty. Until near the end, which was rather disappointing to say the least. Keep her hidden!

Stiff Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 No, pretty sure we won't. She is always said to be very, very big/fat and by the looks of it, the woman who plays Howards mother isn't that big. So she would be impossible to make an appearance. On the other hand, they can always fill her up with cushions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracerTong Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I kinda see her as a female Jerry Stiller but with bigger Redder hair! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmouse Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I kinda see her as a female Jerry Stiller but with bigger Redder hair! lol I'm trying to recall an older sitcom that did a similar thing where you always heard the mother's voice, but never met her in person.... grrr,.. time for another google-fest.
