Me & Mom - The Big Bang Theory Parody  is a musical based on the popular TV show that is in currently in the midst of its final season. John McGowan as Sheldon Cooper is clearly the highlight of this show. He captures the essence of Sheldon with extreme accuracy. The rest of the cast 's portrayals of the characters are not as strong. Their singing voices are excellent, however. although the songs were not at all memorable. There are familiar catch phrases and running gags from the TV show in this show but not enough of them especially considering the show has been on for 12 seasons. The overall plot is weak and does not draw enough from the show. It is great to see  appearances from a bunch of familiar characters from the show's long run including many of the characters' mothers, Leslie Winkle, Stuart and more but most of these appearances don't seem to serve much purpose. Over all, John McGowan is definitely the main reason to see this show.

And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.
