AVClub: Throughout The Big Bang Theory‘s nine-season run, there’s been a lot of talk about Meemaw, aka. Sheldon’s grandmother. Standing in contrast to his overbearingly Christian mother, Meemaw has always held a certain comforting place in Sheldon’s life, and therefore in the minds of everyone watching the show. Thus, The Big Bang Theory had a good chance to build a meaningful episode out of a visit from Sheldon’s grandmother, played by, as Caroline Siede quipped in “What’s On Tonight,” “professional on-screen grandma” June Squibb. So why does tonight’s episode, “The Meemaw Materialization,” feel so underwhelming? It’s certainly not Squibb’s performance, which finds a nice balance between sweet and sarcastic. Rather, it’s the belabored storytelling on display.
