I'm a huge fan and have been since the beginning... and I understand there's been a LOT of GREAT episodes (any episode with Leonard's mom, Bath Gift Item Hypothesis, Pants Alternative, etc), but for anyone who loves dry humor this is the best episode yet! I liked the earlier seasons much better than the recent seasons, but this is the exception! Bob Newhart as Professor Proton is absolutely hysterical...while not looking like he's even trying. Penny's enthusiasm and Sheldon's crazy work as perfect foils to Professor Proton. My friends and I have been quoting the episode every day for the last week... I still laugh thinking about it! Phenomenal acting job. I hope he comes back again for another guest appearance!
