Another great and super hilarious episode from Chuck Lorre and his team. The Stephen Hawking guest appearance made it even more special.The episode starts with Howard getting a mail from Stephen Hawking's office saying that they need an engineer to maintain Hawking's wheelchair equipment. Howard thinks about taking Sheldon with him but decides against it due to Sheldon's constant ramblings and cruel remarks about him and his job. When Sheldon gets to know about it, he pleads and begs Howard to take him to see Hawking or atleast submit a paper he has written to him. Howard sees this as an opportunity to punish Sheldon and makes him do horrible tasks. He makes Sheldon clean his pee-stained belt buckles, do his laundry, take his mother shopping and even Compliment Him !! In the end, Sheldon finally meets Hawking but passes out when Hawking points out a arithmetical error made by him.
The most amazing part of the episode is when Sheldon takes Howard's mom shopping ..... simply awesome !! Even Hawking cracks a few one liners which makes his appearance even better and worthwhile. Both Howard and Sheldon are amazing in the episode. But since not all of them can be in the limelight ; Leonard, Penny, Raj and Bernadette remain subsidiary/shadow characters.
Overall it is really funny episode. Jim Parsons is amazing as always.
No negatives stand out for me in this episode except the fact that Penny's role is limited to a single scene and that Amy should have been present since she is a scientist (and probably a fan of Hawking) too.
Star Rating : ★★★★
