Recently, the actress doing Howard Wolowitz' mother's voice died, and they let her character die. In neither case is the death comedic (except that Professor Proton returns to Sheldon as a kind of Jedi apparition). But then again, The Big Bang Theory since the third season or so, seems to be more about therapy for Chuck Lorre than about being funny anyways.
I love the one episode, cant remember why Sheldon's mom called but you could only hear his side of the conversation and he said something like "Prayer doesn't work because of........(went into a slew of wordy reasons)". FUCKING AWESOME!
