Zap2it.com is reporting that Laurie Metcalf, who played Roseanne's sister, Jackie on Roseanne has signed on as a recurring role on The Big Bang Theory playing Sheldon's (Jim Parsons) mother.

I guess Chuck Lorre is going for a real Roseanne Reunion.

Wow, this really is Roseanne: The next generation. They have 3 regulars from Roseanne on this show already. next we'll be seeing Roseanne as the obnoxious grandmother, and John Goodman as the drunken neighbor-LOL

This is now officially confirmed. Someone was at the taping of the 4th show on September 12, and Laurie Metcalf was playing Sheldon's (Jim Parsons) mother.
