MARY COOPER: Sheldon Cooper's southern momma. She is amazingly portrayed by Laurie Metcalfe on the show. She has Desert Rose china in her kitchen, her trailer is supported by cinder blocks, she calls Sheldon "Shelly" and she is forever traveling the Bible belt and wanting Sheldon to join her. To her, LA is like sin city, but when she visits Sheldon, she makes the best fried chicken ever. When Sheldon is particularly impossible, sometimes, she must be called...
"He is my son. I've seen him at his best, I've seen him at his worst, (and) You shoulda called me sooner!"
