Big Bang Theory

I just read that Katey Sagal will play Penny's mom and Jack McBrayer will play her brother. This show always seems to get the casting just right.

I just discovered this show. Sagal played Peg Bundy. She's a great comedic actress!!! When does the new season start and on what channel?

I had forgotten about that @GSPgirl, but you are right. She absolutely did!

I think Katey Sagal will prob be a good choice for Penny's mom ...............but i think instead of Jack McBrayer they should have picked a character who would be opposite of the men on the show... Jack McBrayer seems to "alike" the other main characters....i think they should have picked a funny, saracastic macho type to play Penny's brother...i think it would have created some great storylines....

this show is just genius. I love the wit and the humor. it's a step above the rest of the comedies on tv. don't know who jack is, but Katey seems like a good choice. I also love that Keith Carradine is penny's dad. he played it so well. it would be nice if he made more appearances. Amy is my absolute favorite ❤️

Wow, I wonder if that means we will finally find out Penney's last name. They never mentioned it when her dad was there. Leonard just called him by his first name. She is the ONLY character on the show whose last name we never knew. I have my own ideas as to why that is. What do any of you think? The only brother I've ever heard her mention is the one who was in jail and sounded like a good old boy hell raiser.

There are a few shows that have always made me LOL!

M*A*S*H and Cheers come to mind.

Add The Big Bang Theory to the list! Love this show! Brilliant!

For me, this show doesn't hold any interest now. They have done these themes to death and if they want to continue, it should be in a spinoff of the original show. I have quit watching most of it this year. To me, adding characters just takes away from the original brilliant show.

I also don't know who he is (I will have to look him up and maybe if I see his face I wil recognize him), but I always loved Katey Sagal.

I also ready this somewhere yesterday and think it will be great to not only have an icon like Katey Sagal on the show, but just adding more characters and more back-story for Penny.

Looking forward to the new season!

I can see McBrayer as the character's brother. I can't picture Sagal as her mother.

I don't think they'll join the show or even be on as recurring characters. We've see the other characters' parents and Penny's Dad. My guess is, we'll see these new characters in an episode in the coming year.
