This is the kind of father in law everyone should have

[@jeraldvincentzumel5300]

If only everyone were as smart and successful as Leonard.

[@misssmisssymaria]

Jerald Vincent Zumel That’s not why he liked Leonard. He liked him because Leonard was a good guy who had a stable and good job, he loved and respected his daughter, treated her well, and respected him. Leonard wasn’t a loser with no future or aspirations.

[@shanisajoyner8353]

No. This is the kind of father every single girl/woman should have.

[@HasufelyArod]

Bernadette's dad does look like a tough man, one you don't mess with but still would also like to get on your side.

[@Netherwolf6100]

You only get a father-in-law like this when said daughter has made nothing but horrible choices in her life. Most men will believe their daughters to be next to perfect and only want the best for them and would feel almost all men would try to lie, cheat on and/or manipulate his babygirl. If a father is ever like this towards a potential son-in-law, either the son-in-law is akin to the lottery or babygirl is dumb as bricks.

[@devingiannini2077]

+domydishes ...I think that might be a bit harsh. You can't tell anything about someone when you first see apart from how they look, so I feel it's natural for looks to be a major factor for most people when they're younger... and if you're not particularly analytical (like Penny) it probably takes a while before you realize exactly what you're doing wrong... I feel like she never stopped thinking Leonard was a great guy, she just felt it wasn't the right situation (which, right or wrong, is a perfectly reasonable thing to do)... and often times when someone finds new qualities they really like about a gf/bf and it ends badly often the knee jerk reaction is to revert to what you're used to...

[@laisensei6984]

@@younglove3362 Actually, I feel like in many TV shows of recent years, it's often the mothers that are portraying the role of "being conservative" or "controlling everything the kids should do" and the fathers are the ones giving advices such as "follow your heart". At least that is the case for Young Sheldon.

[@BenE8844]

That’s because the last four seasons of TBBT are GARBAGE. Penny became a TERRIBLE woman/person/wife…not unlike her actress. The one episode that made me want to punch both Penny and the writers (for being on drugs), was the stupid episode where she accuses him of taking her for granted, and in the end, the dumbass solution is a shitty relationship agreement that is never brought up again. Like, WTF? Sheldon’s stupid habits and traits are annoying as hell, and him being the solution pissed me off a lot. Also like I said, what kind of solution was that!? They don’t even mention it ever AGAIN! Can I recommend something to you that I think you’ll like because unlike in the show, Penny ACTUALLY loves Leonard in it, and also, Leonard does something that makes an impact on both her and her family’s life?
