November 15, 2012

It was on November 15, 2012 in television history that we learned the names of the fictional Leonard Hofstadter's fictional cat--Dr. Boots Hofstader. This was of course a Big Bang Theory episode, the one titled  "The 43 Peculiarity." (S06, E08).

Some of the funny dialogue in this episode, with some chick hitting on Leonard (which he does not realize) and he says:

"Call me Leonard,
Dr. Hofstader is my father
and my mother
and my sister
and the cat
though I am pretty sure that Dr. Boots Hofstadter's is an honorary degree.

Now we know. And you remember this story--- it's the show where Penny blurts out she loves Leonard,  only she didn't mean to say it, and may not have realized it herself.
