I love how George Sr has taken over the adult training of Sheldon - trying to teach him how to navigate a world he is not yet ready for. I doubt Mary could do this - Shelly is her baby and it is hard for her to be tough with him. George Sr understands the academic funding dynamics, which helps.

I think Mary's problem goes beyond not being able to be tough with Sheldon. Mary does not realize or does not care that Sheldon will some day have to live in the real world as an adult. Obviously he's just a kid now and that is years to decades in the future. George realizes on some level that eventually Sheldon will be an adult on his own. 

George helping Sheldon with social skills was great. George and Sheldon plotlines are fun.

I'm also glad Mary got to Missy before she snuck out.  I'd hate to have her get 'busted for bopping."  I love that movie.

I love Footloose too. I loved the scene were Ren teaches Willard to dance. In 6th or 7th grade, one of the things I wanted most in the world was for Ren to lead me around with a walkman and teach me how to dance. I do wonder what other movies are in Georgie's box. Georgie had  good point about driving Missy away. I don't think Mary should say yes to every little thing Missy wants, but a middle school dance seems pretty safe and harmless.

I love when the show brings out guest stars who were popular in the 1980's.  It's fun to see them still around.

But it was jarring to see Dave Foley looking so old!

I did not recognize Dave Foley at all. 

I did not recognize him at all either. Not even a "I know I recongize him, but I can't quite place him," He's come along way from the young executive in NewsRadio wearing the big boxy suits that were so fashionable in the 1990s but made him look like a kid wearing his father's suits.

When the anti-static furniture guy started talking about Gödel's incompleteness theorems at dinner I thought that it might turn out to be an interesting night for Sheldon after all, but then he quickly devolved into numerology (!?!?) and I knew Sheldon was going to unleash on him. At least the guy wasn't easily offended and still sent a big check to the university and a free chair to Sheldon.

I was hoping it would go that direction too. I thought it would be great for Sheldon to be proving wrong about a snap judgement about someone. Sheldon goes to the dinner thinking the potential donor is someone intelectually beneath him, but ends up discovering the man is  up to date on all the latest theories, developments, and is someone Sheldon can have a serious in-depth conversation with about advanced topics in physics.
