In last night's The Big Bang Theory, we got to meet Leonard's mother, Mrs. Hofstadter, who was played by the brilliant Christine Baranski.  Leonard's mother turned out to be exactly like Sheldon which resulted in some hilarious dialogue between the two.

Mrs. Hofstadter is a pyschologist and her analysis of Penny and her father issues quickly pushed her back into the arms of Leonard.  Find out what happened between the two in our "The Maternal Capacitance" recap. 

Here are some of our favorite pictures and quotes form the episode.
