Young Sheldon is shockingly good, and it's not just the spectacular performance by Iain Armitage. The entire cast was terrific, especially Jordan Montana and Raegan Revord who play Sheldon's siblings.
I am looking forward to what Iain Armitage does next in his career. He's a true talent
i agree. he’s still very young, but he was a little kid when the show started, all the more impressive. AND he had to live up to jim parsons. it's hard to adapt a beloved character but he does it so well. i was actually taken back at how good and funny the show is, especially because i thought BBT was kind of obnoxious, lol
My favorite part about him is his parents. Parents said that if he stopped being kind and polite he would have to stop acting. They hold high standards for his behavior and how he treats other people.

For years I refused to watch Young Sheldon, because it came out at the time when tBBT was rapidly becoming unwatchable. I thought if they could not come up with ideas for TBBT anymore, how can they make a good spin-off. So I recently gave it a try. The first few episodes showed promise, it soon became very clear that Young Sheldon was very mediocre. I have now given up watching it.
Horrible show childish take
One of the better aspects of Young Sheldon was Georgie and Mandy's pregnancy. Seeing Georgie stepping up to be a father was one of the best plotlines of the show to the point that there are comments that fans were there more to see Georgie than the titular Sheldon
My goodness that scene in Sheldon’s room when he is afraid to leave 😢. Georgie became my favorite that episode.
that was such a well-written and surprisingly unique storyline, I genuinely was more invested in it than what Sheldon has going on
Young Sheldon new season comeing out
Yes! I am one of them. : )
And now they’re making a spin-off centered around Georgie and Mandy’s parental life. It all worked out!
Fun fact. Zoe Perry who plays Mary on Young Sheldon is actually Laurie Metcalf (Mary on TBBT) real life daughter. So that explains how she is able to get Laurie's mannerisms so good.
Wow. I didn't know that. I thought she is the perfect cast because she looks so much like her.
@Wiildflower3 lol well now you know why she looks so much like her 😆
I knew there was something up! lol but that’s also really cool
That explains so much
i know its nepotism but since its supposed to be the same character as her mom's i think it was a neat idea
Ive got the feeling like Young Sheldon and TBBT are not any longer completely connected
Ikr? If you watch Young Sheldon, most of the time you don't think about TBBT. Only when adult Sheldon explains something or they make a reference to the show is when you remember "Oh, right. This is a Big Bang Theory prequel"
almost as if the blackhole consumed them and its was a new world or something
The main thing that makes me agree with this is the lack of reference to stergis or link letter in the Big Bang theory
Would make sense if they just said that it was something completely different.
@delayedknight9421 they are probably dead and from the way he treated the death of Prof proton and george, he does not like to talk outloud about death though prof proton is like a guide for him in his dreams, one could say they also guide his actions to one way or another just not shown in TBBT
I can't hardly wait until 'Old Sheldon.'
Don't say that or Jim parsons will scream in agony xD
@@advmx3why?
They brought Frasier back. They could do the same thing with sheldon and his son leonard
U mean Sheldon as an old man😂
@@aaronjjacques
With his son Spock.
What Young Sheldon ultimately shows us is that the man with the self-professed eidetic memory is actually an unreliable narrator.
Thank You! Finally someone states the obvious. Why does no one consider he simply lies? The differences are glaring and many
@@rocketmom60 I don't think he necessarily lies. He just processes information differently than most people.
negativity bias@@moonie6171
@@moonie6171 eidetic memory means they remember every thing they hear. The processing of emotions is noisy even for people with eidetic memory, and you can see such inconsistencies even in tbbt without any references in YS.
@@rocketmom60 I remember having this thought several times while watching YS, and also in other shows. One has to resist the kneejerk approach of considering personal accounts of protagonists to be canon-accurate / truthful. It actually adds beautiful depth when a character recounts events with authority but not according to the truth, especially when done meta-style.
The siblings also had their talents. Missy had enormous social intelligence which left Sheldon way behind. Georgy was a natural entrepreneur.
Mary did say at some point, that each of her children had their unique qualities. And now we know that those are a brilliant mind, astounding empathy and everlasting economic strength respectively.
@@d4rksonic474Which means, in their own ways, they all have gifted minds. These are still all aspects of the brain.
As someone on the spectrum, Sheldon honestly represents one of my greatest fears, that people only keep me around because I don’t understand some things and act weirdly sometimes, which they find funny, and it was so refreshing to have Young Sheldon accurately depict how it feels being a kid with autism
I have autism and ADHD so I relate
That's not why they keep sheldon around though. His friends and family accept him for who he is even if they do or do not agree or understand all of his quirks.
Sheldon wasn't autistic, just socially inept.
@@hoganlex1 spoken like a true neurotypical
@@ahhh4117 spoken like someone who knows the show. Parsons played Sheldon with some Asperger’s traits, but canonically Sheldon is not diagnosed ND.
Oh, and I have ADHD, so not NT, but thanks for playing.
Now we know that the woman he seen having relations with his dad, was his mom dressed up in her German outfit. A brilliant way for the Young Sheldon show to save his dad’s reputation and a way to keep him as likable character.
What episode?
I believe it just aired 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was at the very end of the episode.
@@denisesrazzledazzlenails9606wow that was a nice twist! I thought he was gonna cheat with his divorced neighbor. Going to watch the new season after exams, gonna be fun.
I thought it was an epic save
What? That makes sense yeah, but then why did they kept putting the neighbor and his dad on like a weird relationship thing they had going? They kept putting them together on episodes and stuff but nothing really happened. Also I’m glad they took that back, because honestly, the way shieldon describes and talks about his dad on tbbt, it doesn’t sound like him at all.
When I first heard they were doing Young Sheldon, I hated the idea. I thought it was a blatant cash grab, and I honestly thought it would flop.
Today, it’s now one of my favorite tv shows. Love it!
For many years I refused to watch Young Sheldon because it came out at a time when TBBT was failing very badly with tired old jokes and gags and stupid melodrama and I thought if they ran out of ideas for tbbt, they can't have any good ideas for a spin-off. But then I gave it a go. The first few episodes showed real promise! But very quickly Young Sheldon descended into the most banal mediocrity. What a waste of time.
@@user-pv2xy1og8h how can you say that? What are your reasons for it?
@@user-pv2xy1og8hwhat is bro yapping about 💀
Chuck Lorre always deserves a degree of trust.
He's the guy who made Dharma & Greg; a real feelgood show with a healthy message, which is so rare. (Which is also why I love Highway To Heaven. But also Firefly, because the love going into a work can be felt, regardless of what the theme is.)
@@user-pv2xy1og8hwhy?
I liked when Sheldon was Young, it really brought together the whole show. Fr though Young Sheldon actually has an interesting story, especially once the family starts falling apart.
You wont like its finale...
@@Ilia-rs2ps please don't be implying what i think you are implying...
@@MasenVerse ... You watched the episode in BBT where it reveals his cause of death...
Okay, I have to comment on the Whole Sheldon and Penny thing. It wasn't hard to figure out even before Young Sheldon came out. The Second Missy showed up and she was basically Penny as a brunette with a Texan accent, the parallel between the relationships wasn't hard to figure out. Sheldon was reminded of his sister and she was trying to be nice because of Leonard and the fact that they were neighbors, until she fell into the role of surrogate sister. TBBT didn't harp on it but it was there for anyone who to the time to see it.
Texan accent bro I’m from Texas and I don’t hear no cali accent so what y’all hearing when we Texans talk
@@Theewisgaming Yes actually. I'm from Missouri and there as some subtle differences in the accents in America. Someone from Texas sounds different from someone from Georgia or someone from Arkansas. Maybe it's because the Missouri Accent is so muddled that I hear the differences in others, but they are there.
California doesn't have any real accent outside the exaggerated surfer talk. So unlike out parts of the country where the accents are stronger in California it is so light most don't hear anything.
@@Theewisgaming as someone out of the US I can hear differences in accents, especially Texan one,
@@wiezyczkowata ok good point but when media often shows a Texan they have an over the top southern draw and like I’ve met Texan who sound like that but as a San Antonite I can hear no difference between the way me and my friends talk and how another American speaks also I’ve grown up watching American television so makes sense I have that accent and it makes the difference regional accent of the United States are more apparent in more rural places between there just more isolated
The thing they got so right is that BBT caricaturized his family through the lens of someone who didn't observe or understand the nuances of what his family went through- only focused on how he was affected. YS focused less on Sheldon and more on the family and their real problems and feelings. Missy, George, and Georgie felt ignored, Mary didn't want people to think poor of her or her family, George was having real adult problems as the family breadwinner in a time that the middle class was starting to fall apart. Georgie wanted to be his own man and frankly showed a LOT of responsibility as he grew up, and George felt like many fathers do as their eldest children want more independence without the knowledge of how hard being an adult really is.
And the introduction of Paige was genius because it showed another brilliant child physicist who was more emotionally intelligent than Sheldon but lacked the feeling of peer connection- she couldn't find her people the way Sheldon eventually did. I want more of her story and where she ends up. Its a shame she isn't at all a part of BBT because she would have finally found a place of acceptance among Bernadette and Amy.
Hell even in 1st and 2md Season, I loved Tam and wondered how did he never mention him. Sure, TBBT does explain it a bit but you can see that it was a little shoe-horned.
that's an interesting perspective
Paige's story is a real tragedy: a genius left alone without the companionship of like-minded people. It eventually led to her giving up all of her academic brightness and in the end, she remained a shell of herself with a pretty bleak outlook on life. Paige is what Sheldon would have been like had the Cooper family been dysfunctional and Sheldon never had Tam, Dr. Sturgis, Dr. Linkletter, and all of his friends at Caltech. So many things that went right for Sheldon went the opposite for Paige. Life dealt her a very bad hand, and she succumbed to it.
One can only imagine what became of her: a burnt-out genius, who has lost everything expected of her. We might never know what she did later in her life, or if she is even alive by the time of TBBT. We cannot rule out the possibility of her killing herself, disappointed and tired of life never going her way. Truly the most tragic character of the entire franchise.
@@TravelleroftheMicrocosmos and its even sadder how much of it is a product of just her being a girl. Sheldon is obnoxious and rude, Paige is generally friendly and easy to get along with- and people still had the easier time getting along with Sheldon. Sheldon gets his academic approaches rejected by established career scientists because of his age, not gender, so he just sees his acceptance as inevitability instead of something he will battle his whole life for.
We got to see in 1 episode what young Raj, Leonard, and Howard were like listening to the same radio broadcast as Sheldon. So we wonder what it might have looked like if Paige was doing something important to her and we had seen Bernadette and Amy doing the same- not that they ever got to meet and become friends
"Sheldon found his chosen family. The one that didn't HAVE TO stick by him but CHOSE TO anyway"
Love this
Young Sheldon is literally the Better Call Saul of the Big Bang Theory universe. Genius filmmaking, bravo to everyone involved
not seeing vince after bravo makes me uncomfortable not gonna lie :D
I love the parallel between Sheldon & pennys friendship and missy & sheldons sibling bond.
Penny and sheldons odd bond on tbbt was always the heart of the show to me
It even adds an element of genius when you consider how little Missy appeared on The Big Bang Theory. You can think "why doesn't Sheldon's sister appear more often?", but then you realise that he has found another one in Penny
As a female nerd/geek/whatever, BBT always made me so uncomfortable when it was on. As an ADHD parent, Young Sheldon is SO GOOD as a family series.
You an ass
Yes! 🖤🖤🖤
Bruh. Both shows are terrible and have bad taste in comedy.
@@matt246 People who say this usually think shows like Community are examples of good comedy though. Community is one of the most cringe, unfunny comedies since Seinfeld.
@@nonyobisniss7928 yikes kid. That show sucks. I never would watch that shit 😂😂😂😂
I think Sheldon maybe saw Penny as a do-over bond with a sisterly figure. He and Missy were often at odds growing up and their relationship was often delicate but with Penny he tried more to be there for her as well as letting his guard down and letting her into his world. He wasn't afraid to be vulnerable around her and while he did flex his usual brand of superiority around her he also knew to sometimes just talk to Penny like a human. He genuinely values Penny and her role in his life and it was sweet to see.
yeah I think his relationship with Missy is unfortunately marred by the history they have (insecurities and problems, parental favoritism, etc) in childhood. While they'll always love and be there for each other, they can't have that same ease he has with Penny.
Penny and Missy have similar dynamics and personalities with him but with Penny, none of the past problems/feuds hold them back from just hanging out easily. With Penny, he's also an adult who is surrounded by a community that understands him a lot more and what he does doesn't reflect back on her. Whereas in Texas, he's the odd duck out and his behaviour is reflected onto Missy and causes her trouble at school. He probably is also frustrated that she fits in so easily where he doesn't. There's just too much history.
i liked bbt when I was 14-17 but I kinda lost interest after a few seasons. But I LOVE young Sheldon. The acting was great and the situations were hilarious and believable for Sheldon. I really liked meemaw

I think it’s the fact that it had a different purpose, TBBT was created as a sitcom while Young Sheldon was meant to be a “documenter” about Sheldon’s life
They're both sitcoms. One is nerd/academic "Friends/How I Met Your Mother" and one is a family sitcom similar to Home Improvement, Family Ties, Grounded for Life, Everyone Loves Raymond, The Simpsons and many other 80s 90s family shows.
Friends in their 20s starting their life has a different dynamic (typically romance/sexual) and career crisis.
Family shows has a friendly but clueless dad, an uptight mom, 2 or 3 kids with unique quirks. The closest to this one is probably Family Ties.
Came here after the "big reveal" in S7 E12. I never expected a show about a young Sheldon Cooper to make me cry so hard. What a punch in the gut... Even though we knew it was coming, I did not expect it to hit so close to home. The acting in that scene was absolutely visceral. Good on the writers for following through after all this time.
absolutely amazing art. i share the same opinion.
So are they leaving it as a cliff hanger
@@shunnamaewilliams9989 There are two more episodes, so you don't have long to wait. They air back to back this Thursday night, May 16.
@@colind3273 thank you
Here after the series finale. I never thought I’d cry over a show connected to the Big Bang Theory
Young Sheldon without Sheldon is just a good sitcom. I haven't gone back and watched TBBT since seeing the new one, but I can see it making specific episodes deeper.
Good is an understatement
Young sheldon is genuinely one of the best family sitcoms I've ever seen. For a long time, i didnt even know it was comnected to the big bang theory. The entire cast is amazing, the humor is amazing, and the show is still so consistently good over the course of 7 seasons.
It’s such a damn good sitcom, I just wish it wasn’t connected to the Big Bang theory so that Sheldon could actually grow as a character
@@txwtw Same.
I never questioned Sheldons and Pennys relationship and always saw it as some sort of sibling relationship. It just kinda made sense. Honestly, i found sheldon and penny being friends more believeble than Penny and Lennard. Not because she is „hot“ and he is „smart“, but there is just no depth to them. Like, what do they talk about? What do they like about each other? It is never explained. They are just together.
They only talked about kids when they were already married. Like who does that?
As someone on the autism spectrum one of the difference between the Big Bang theory and young sheldon is how they portray his implied autism. In the Big Bang theory Jim Parsons decided to portray him as autistic from the sheldon’s quirky jokes which made it feel like a joke and a punchline whereas in young sheldon his autism is actually much more realistic, yes he has moments where he’s “odd” but he also has sensory issues, routine difficulties and hyperfixations which were all jokes in the Big Bang theory
The funny thing is I believe they tried so hard to make Leonard the main character in the beginning it definitely feels that way but ultimately the fan base loved Sheldon the most.
I agree and actually I was a fan of Leonard while Sheldon was the spice. But just like a dish with too much pepper is inedible, I found the excessive focus on Sheldon drove me away from the show eventually.
True, Leonard was undoubtedly the main character of Season 1.
Mary's "hatred" of George Sr. is dealt with so beautifully in the YS finale. She hates him for dying on her, not for cheating (which he didn't do).
The cheating plot point again was revealed (or I guess retconned) to be another case of Sheldon being an unreliable narrator who didn't full understand the relationships around him. That incident is also the origin of his knocking 3 times, yet another iconic quirk of Sheldon in TBBT.
Definitely seems like this video deserves a remake now.
I loved how the relationship between Sheldon & Penny developed over the years. I never for one second thought it would ever be a love triangle. I can see how Penny would remind him of his sister but I think she also reminds him of his meemaw (as portrayed by Annie Potts.) She loves & supports him but calls him on his stuff. The hardest thing for me about Young Sheldon is waiting for Sheldon's dad to die.
this video came out just 3 months too early, they totally just retconned the whole Sheldon walking into Gorge cheating with another woman history in the latest episode. Turns out it was all a misunderstanding, it's sad Sheldon thought his dad cheated for all these years, although I'm happy to see this loving Geroge we learned to love didn't really cheat on Marry
I'm so happy to see this finally. Young Sheldon is such a good story. It's story of a family, a whole community. And I'm so glad to see so many people here enjoyed YS without knowing its link with TBBT. YS can be a perfect standalone series, it's complete in its own.
I love Young Sheldon but cant stand tbbt!
One of the major issues I always had with TBBT was that the gang of Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj were always described and seen by others as nerdy guys who like niche things.
However, they can't actually convey that in their characters, because they can't alienate the general audience.
They have to reference popular things that most people would know about, so that an audience member can go "Hey, they referenced the Flash being fast. I know that character and that they're really fast"
(Another example is that there was an episode where Penny was stumped that the gang would go watch an extended edition of the Lord of the Rings in theaters, as if the Lord of the Rings isn't one of the most popular film series in the world.)
So when I picked up Young Sheldon, I was expecting that there'd just be more of the same.
Oh boy was I pleasantly surprised by what I found.
Did they go in character cuz if they did its nerdy
@@raven1436 If you meant he LoTR thingie, if I remember correctly they did, but the way that Penny's reaction was written was that she couldn't possibly imagine going to a movie theater to see a movie you've already seen for some additional footage and they acted as if the Lord of the Rings wasn't one highest-grossing film franchises ever and was some unknown and niche nerd stuff.
There's only really one bit of actually kinda niche nerd stuff that I've seen in TBBT, which is that Sheldon wears different color lantern corp shirts while conveying uncharacteristically strong emotions (Green Lantern is pretty well known, but Sheldon has been for example shown to wear a Star Saphire lantern corp shirt while spending time with Amy and that lantern corp is specifically related to the emotion of Love)
Wasn't it a Raiders of the Lost Ark screening not an extended lotr? Been a min I watched all the show but I distinctly remember Sheldon running away from the crowd doing the Indiana Jones theme with the film reels in hand because he wasn't let in.
People miss that at the start of TBBT a lot of things actually wasn't mainstream yet. I didn't even know who Flash was.
Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but that stuff IS nerdy stuff, saying “I’m gonna be fast as the flash” or deciding to watch the extended edition of lotr are both inherently “nerdy” or “geeky” things, alot of people consider the REGULAR version of lotr nerdy. I’m just saying as someone who definitely doesent consider myself nerdy I have more “normie” (such a dumb word) friends whom point out things being “lame” or “nerdy” to me all the time, do I necessarily agree with what they say? No. But that doesent change that what they think is also what many many others think, to the average shmo, that stuff is nerdy
When this show got onto Netflix, my grandparents (who are Asian and don't watch sitcoms as a genre) LOVED Young Sheldon, they even binged it at one point! It was absolutely a favorite for them.
Too bad it behind because it only has 5 season and Thursday we be on 7 now
@@peteryanes3413and the finale is pretty depressing imo...
A fun Easter Egg that could have been: Young Sheldon being told as a story from the perspective of Old Sheldon made sense because Sheldon has an eidetic memory.
However, this was sadly no longer true as we also saw events which Sheldon wasn't around to witness.
Now thats season 7 has come out it revealed that the 'CHEATING' Sheldon caught his dad in was actually Mary dressed up as a german girl, and the anger is that he left her (as in died) just as their relationship was starting to be what it use to be. Like that the show implements what actually happened with the voice over of sheldon recalling what he thought happened
The dad in Young Sheldon also played Leonards highschool bully. A true time traveler.
And somehow came back to life because... Well. Im not allowed to give spoilers!..
I think Sheldon's love of contracts was established well before the story arc with the data base. There was a much earlier episode where Sheldon and Missy were disputing about what to do that day. Sheldon challenged her to a series of competitions, each one involving a written agreement, to see who would get to pick what to do. She ultimately won the game but, as Jim Parson's adult Sheldon explained in the final narration, he had really won because they had wound up spending the day doing things he liked to do, staying indoors, playing intellectual games and, "Writing contracts." The business with the data base may have increased his need for contracts in life, but that was already something that was important to him.
Young sheldon is no longer about comedy and is not longer about sheldon, Young sheldon is a drama show. George provides simple romance , is a will they, wont they with the girl (I dont remember her name).
Meemaw provides conflict, joke conflict with George and real conflict with the gambling room.
Missy provides some sadness with her feeling sad because of Sheldon taking all of the attention and some fun and danger when she goes away.
Sheldon provided comedy and plot but now everything else is more exciting so now there is no reason to make him important.
Mandy is her name
Big Bang also started as comedy and ended as drama. But Big Bang was a more interesting drama, and the drama in Young Sheldon takes away from Sheldon’s character because he really no longer has an excuse as to why he’s emotionally stunted
Lasagna of character moments is an amazing term. And 6 seasons? Dang. Better Call Saul is my favorite show ever so I love it being mentioned!
Young Sheldon seems human and real. We all know these people, been these people.
I remember I used to watch the TBBT and then didn't like it after a while. But I was wondering why Young Sheldon was popular and heard positive things about it. This video explains a lot of it
Same actually, never actually ended watching TBBT and watched like 2 seasons of Young Sheldon but heard the show overall is good
TBBT stands for toes, big boobs and tomatoes. my 3 fave things
@@karlitatv you're not funny...
I knew nothing about The Big Bang Theory before watching Young Sheldon (which may be surprising, but I am 17 and have always heard bad things about TBBT, thus making me oblivious to the fact that Sheldon Cooper is literally the name of the main character in it) So I was devastated to learn that Young Sheldon was the prequel to it mid-way through watching the show while I was googling about the cast of Young Sheldon. While digging deeper through it, I kept finding out things like George cheating and even passing away when Sheldon was 14. All I’m trying to say is, man am I dreading the inevitable 😭.
George cheated on Mary with.....Mary
I find it funny when people say the Sound guy wanted to put the laugh track every time, because it was proven there were very few moments the laugh tracks were actually artificially added.
TBBT had an audience. Sometimes, the laughs were so loud because the actors had done something wrong, even them would complain and make people laugh harder, sometimes they couldn't laugh a lot through certain jokes, and in these times there were laugh tracks.
Still, saying the show had laugh tracks added into the scenes artificially all the time is not true and I wish more people saw that. EVEN IF the audience had a fucking screen saying: Silence/Laugh, it's hard for normal people force out a laugh. And there's only many times you can re-do a joke to catch that reaction out from people in a live show like that.
So yeah. TBBT have a lot of problems, to me, most of them happens in the five first seasons since some of the jokes aged insanely bably.
But overall, it's a good show, better than Friends for me. Young sheldon is a very diferent kind of show, and of course some people who enjoys comedy won't like it because they are there for the laughs, not for the feels. YS goes for feels, not for laughs. Even if there are some wholesome hilarious moments in it.
their laugh track sounds more real then the one on Friends, that one sounded fakes as hell even tho they had an audience, like instead recording audience laugh they downloaded it from internet
Somewhat related, but the point people bring up about the pacing being awkward without laugh tracks is so stupid. If you took a broadway show and silenced the laughing it would be awkward. It's just in the nature of being a live show.
Out of curiosity what jokes have aged badly? Haven't seen the show in almost ten years now so don't really remember any of the more offensive humour
@@sammydray5919I personally didn't have a problem with it because they will make fun of everyone from Howard to Raj. it's not exclusive so I personally don't understand that
@@sammydray5919some were definitely not the funniest but I didn't really get offended personally as a non-white person but they would literally do that to anyone
Well George didn’t cheat on Mary. I think Mary is angry at George for dying at the turning point in their life. She said so at his funeral. They were at a better place and things started going well for the whole family. She is also angry for not trying enough to have a better relationship with George while he was alive since she never expected this. So maybe she’s just coping and has been coping her whole life afterwards.
Except George didn’t cheat on Mary.
Thank you. I thought I had missed something, I know he was tempted but at the end he just couldn't go through with it. If I'm wrong can someone please cite the episode?
Yep and Sheldon's cheating memory was his mom role playing in the bedroom. I thought it was a great idea
Now that I’ve seen both TBBT and YS, it is really beautifully crafted in a humanly way. The dance between the forward and initiative dialogue of TBBT vs. Young Sheldon’s more reserved and receptive type dialogue that’s more about the feelings and unwritten nuances. It’s like yin and yang. Complimentary yet contrasting. Very unique and one of a kind. Won’t get another Tv show that can do quite this. Even if Friends or HIMYM or any other popular show made a prequel it wouldn’t really be interesting. YS even touches on spirituality which I love how they included it respectively.
Shut your mouth
I actually cried when no one came to Sheldons invitation for noble peace prize announcement then they cut to show younger versions of his friends
I'm not sure if that's the case but you very much seem unaware that Young Sheldon started before Georgie's appearance on The Big Bang Theory.
It wasn't like "Oh so this is Sheldon's brother, I wonder what happened to them" and then there's YS, it was more like "Oh cool they brought this Young Sheldon character into TBBT! And acknowledged why he wasn't around until now!"
It wasn't YS fixing TBBT, it was TBBT fixing itself.
It's so nice that Chuck took the criticism of the BBT to heart in his next works and improved his craft as a writer on many levels- it makes for a nice change honestly.
Young Sheldon has more in common with Malcolm in the Middle than the Big Bang Theory.
I seem to recall an episode where Penny and Sheldon have an afternoon together where they really get to know each other. There Sheldon states that Penny in some ways reminds him of his meemaw (grandmother). I like the brother sister parallel you mentioned, it fits even better I guess, but there's some overlap between the sister and meemaw aspect in Penny.
I wish they wouldn't go the route of George cheating. Of course, Sheldon says that he saw it, but it really seems out of character for this George. They could easily avoid it, with Sheldon going to Germany (and thus not being able to witness anything), disconnecting it from TBBT.
We still have a 7th season and an hour long final to go. that's like 7+ hours of content, even if not every episode is arc focused I think it'll still happen in a satisfying manner
But it's NOT disconnected from TBBT. It's the same franchise. The tragedy was always going to happen. Building up all these characters so much to make us love them is part of the process.
@pikathemimikyu6655 Except for the parts that have directly contradicted what TBBT claimed happened during Sheldon's childhood already. Sheldon claimed to have been bullied, to have had no friends, and that his dad was a terrible parent (and an alcoholic). These have all been changed in the show, so I don't see why one more can't happen. Sheldon even saw Stephen Hawking, which he claimed not to have done in TBBT.
@azorbz9286 yeah, I suppose there are a lot of changes now that I think about it. I like to think maybe Sheldon just misunderstood what was going on and was overreacting when he talked about it in TBBT. I'm expecting George is going to cheat on Mary and die in the near future, though.
I always thought that incident was referring to George and the neighbor lady almost getting together, which we're just seeing the ramifications of in s6 of YS
You didnt even have to watch TBBT to enjoy Young Sheldon. Young Sheldon is a great show.
Honestly watching Young Sheldon long before I sat and watched the episodes of BBT.. It made me enjoy the personality of Sheldon more and explains why hes the way he is a lot more instead of it being a random char on screen that is a bit looney lol. Then you realize "Oh, hes literally been this way since 6/7yrs old"
I remember telling my friend that I like TBBT but just in short form, tiktok/reels/shorts videos. But I absolutely adore Young Sheldon. From how they ditch the laugh track, to how the Cooper family and their relationships becomes endearing. It isn’t focused on making Sheldon’s quirk the comedy, granted that it does make for good laugh here and there. But it never is the punchline.
Sheldon is less annoying in young Sheldon than the Big Bang Theory
Some people I know watch Young Sheldon and don’t even know the parent series TBBT; they still like YS which shows how good it is
Ive never watched TBBT - i have heard so much about it, and have sven seen some clips from time to time, but BOY do I gobble up YS. I go back and watch it over and over and OVER again
It turned out George Sr. never cheated on Mary. Mary was just dressed as another woman when Sheldon walked in. That explains Sheldon's behavior (sort of) in TBBT but not Mary's (if, indeed, she complained about George cheating).
Honestly I love TBBT for a decent laugh and the interesting story and character arcs some people went through. Yes the laugh track can be irritating at times but I try to not let it take away from the actors, the writers and the people that poured their hearts into the show. Meanwhile Young Sheldon is everything I liked about TBBT and cranks it up to 11. The actors are amazing and you really get the sense of what it was like for Sheldon and his family growing up in Texas, having character arcs and becoming very fleshed out characters. It deserves a lot more credit than it has now.
they have better laugh track then Friends had, in Friends it sounded weirdly out of place, like you can tell it was recorded but in TBBT it sound more realistic
@@wiezyczkowatayeah i think tbbt had an actual audience. during big moments with like sheldon and amy you can hear members of the audience scream and clap. a lot of times it’s so loud that the microphone gets messed up and fuzzy while the applause is still going on. it’s actually rlly funny 💀
Big bang has a live audience, just watch some behind the scenes stuff. It’s not a laugh track
I don't know if it helps but they did record before a live audience and the laugh track was put in where the audience actually laughed.
They normally couldn't use the audiences original laughter because the sound system wasn't set up for that and they relooped the lines for broadcast
Except he didn’t cheat
Video guy did not know that at the time of this video. young sheldon has very distorted memories that his mom helped with as well.
Actually, I think they redid that as Sheldon’s mom as that weird German dress up charechter which Sheldon prolly thought was another girl.
George did cheat in Big Bang. Young Sheldon just took all that development away, and actually made Sheldon a more shallow character
Well, it may seem that way, and that the retcon to some, may be seen as just shallow.
However, this twist made as response to positive fan reception can be understood to be far compelling and a bit more complex than perceived.
On the contrary. Sheldon's perspective led to a quirk that made him endearing to viewers. It showed Sheldon's situational perspective to be flawed - and this is nothing new, as it proves Sheldon to be a human. Despite being somewhat an accurate representation of knowing someone from the nuclear family being unfaithful - making things more relatable, that twist actually did more than just give clarification on the viewers' misgivings on Sheldon's initial perspective. His perpetuation of his habits based on both his perspective and his obsessive-compulsive trait made him a bit more flawed, hence more human.
I wouldn't say shallow.
Both series actually achieved what some other shows couldn't, and enriched each other.
yep, he didint cheat, sheldon as always got it wrong XD
Thing is.. could he be wrong about Georgie having 2 divorces as well though as didn't Sheldon and him stop talking for 10 years?
In The Big Bang, the evidence all says that George cheated. YS just took away that defining moment in Sheldon’s life for a cheap laugh
I love Young Sheldon. It is so good and has a lot of heart. Gives a certain gravitas to TBBT
Meemaw is the MVP of young sheldon
Nah georgie is but meemaw is def 2nd
I think we all know that the show is probably gonna end with George's death
A certified Huzzah ✊🤓BAZINGAAAAA!!!!!☝️🤓 moment
There was no affair in the end. It was Mary Cooper in a costume.
2:26 i feel obligated to point out that it wasn't a laugh track. TBBT was recorded in front of a live studio audience
Since we now know that George DID NOT cheat on Mary, and in fact, Sheldon walked in on his parent role playing. (Although they both had a flirtation with someone else, neither acted on it). I think since, at the time of filming TBBT, Chuck didn't know there would be a Young Sheldon, it is safe to assume it was done for laughs. They could imply that Mary never got over the anger of George dying. It would fit with Georgie's statement that his mother was a mess after their father died. It would also fit with her comments at Sheldon's wedding that she wished George was there to see Sheldon get married and that he would be proud of him.
With the ending as well, Mary’s character in the Big Bang theory makes much more sense with her having clung onto religion harder than ever after her husbands death and being unable to process that (along with her kids not being much help because of course they’re kids and dealing with the loss of their father, Missy especially, so religion truly was the only thing she felt was there for her) which is probably what made her become less nurturing and patient compared to her softer younger self.
One of the many things I like about prequel shows, when they're done right, is how they handle with the fact that they've created characters and storylines that obviously weren't a thing when the original show was around.
Sure, The Big Band Theory was still airing during Young Sheldon's first two seasons, so they did manage to include some things on the sitcom (like Sheldon's childhood friend Tam, or how Meemaw is a cowgirl), but, once it ended, they were left with the issue of "how are we going to deal with these elements, knowing full well that TBBT's canon is now set in stone?".
Young Sheldon has chosen to fix it by making sure that, even if the characters and the events involved won't even get mentioned on The Big Band Theory, you still get the feeling that they have shaped some aspect of the adult Sheldon we've known for 12 years. It even gives you a rewatch bonus, because you can think "after Young Sheldon, this scene from The Big Bang Theory has a new meaning".
Actually 🤓☝️ the contract thing sheldon does comes from him interfering in meemaw and dr sturgis's relationship when they first started dating (he even mentions by the end of the episode how he would end up using it in all future relationships). Correct me if I'm wrong though. Great video by the way❤
Nah you right i was wondering how he missed this lol
Really funny how we still thought how Brenda Sparks was gonna be the fling but they literally stopped that in season 6 and the fact George cheated on Mary with Mary was another funny misconception by Sheldon
George Sr. Did not cheat on Mary. Talking doesn't equate to cheating. You've lost me here.
In BBT, Georgie said he had a lot of mommas.
Young Georgie is a gentleman and a great husband/father, hope that doesn't mean Mindy dies but just Old Georgie joking he said mommas hope that is true because I don't want to see a tragic character de-development of Georgie.
Georgie ends up having like 5 wives after Mandy
Great video! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Young Sheldon.
The writers did a fantastic job and didn't treat YS as a cash grab flashback of sheldon for the fans of TBBT by focusing on the family which made the show it's own thing which is very enjoyable for everyone even if they didn't see TBBT while still giving the origins of sheldon weirdness for hardcore fans and the family having their own journey while dealing with sheldon is way better and more interesting than revolving around sheldon and lastly the cast is amazing and while the children were phenomenal but the parents gave the best performance
I was one of those who hated the idea, wasn't until RUclips started shoving Young Sheldon's shorts down my throat that I realized it was a good show and now just "Sheldon", watched the whole thing, the beginning is meh but the rest is really good
8:20 Yorokobe Sheldon-shonen
First time I’ve watched one of your videos- very good and THANK YOU for not filling it with profanity like most of RUclips.
I actaully really like how they explained the affair as a misunderstanding that sheldon never got the full story about. Also i still remember i avpided this show like the plague for years because i thought it was gonna be another trash fire spinoff we've seen a hundered times from other shows. I watched one episode and was genuinely surprised how much i enjoyed how it, it felt like iwas genuinely made with love
Pov when you watch sequel to a series without knowing its a sequel
Young Sheldon latest episode, broke me a little. 😢
Also George S. never goes all the way with Brenda.
excellent! you just earned yourself a new subscriber! thanks
As a matter of fact, George has never physically betrayed Mary, till his demise.
Even at the time Sheldon came home early from the University and found George sleeping with a woman that looked differently, It was Mary in disguise that she wore for intercourse purposes. Up to the very moment that George died, he and Mary were fixing a lot on their relationship.
So the question why did Mary remained so angry about George on TBBT stays unresolved.
I think it would have been nice to see Sheldon’s family in the finale. Regardless of the falling out with the family a moment of winning the Nobel peace prize should have been a way to establish some communication. Yes the main cast of the Big Bang theory is the chosen family, but you can really never forget your own family. I mean it just make it seems that Sheldon doesn’t love them at all. Again regardless of what the circumstances surrounding their falling out was.
sorry I know that you prob don't mean it to this extent but sometimes it is better to cut ties if your family is abuseive or toxic. not the case with Sheldons but still. (don't mean to be rude)
I love how honest and heartfelt Young Sheldon is. It also seems to correct a lot of the plot holes about his childhood, from The Big Bang Theory. For example, George, Sr. wasn't the horrible person that Sheldon or his mother had described on The Big Bang Theory. On Young Sheldon, he very rarely drinks, except for an occasional beer during a football game, or at the local bar. He's not physically abusive, and families do argue occasionally. George and Mary's marriage is improving. Sheldon's relationship with his siblings starts out as sibling rivalry, but eventually, they do start to care for each other more. Missy has learned responsibility. Meemaw is strong and loving. And because of Mandy, Georgie has become a family man. Mary isn't the old school racist we saw on The Big Bang Theory; in fact, she's the one who had encouraged him to friends with Tam, in the first place. I've often read online articles and seen RUclips videos about the inconsistencies between these shows, and I agree. As Sheldon grows, he learns to understand more about the world.
Idk why Mary’s emotional cheating with pastor rob in young Sheldon isn’t talked about more
As story is from Sheldon's point of view, he wouldn't see and understand what Mary was feeling for Pastor Rob but actually saw George with someone.
As someone theorized in a post on another video, Young Sheldon is the story of Sheldon writing his biography. And if that is the case, in my opinion, everyone added their own points of view except George, and everyone spoke nicer of him as he was no longer around.
it makes her talking badly about him in TBBT hypocritical, also her kind of going of religion in YS and then being very obsessed by it in TBBT seem disconnected,
Mary came back to church/Jesus as a WIDOW!! HE filled her emotional needs.
George never really had a physical affair . Young Sheldon showed him meeting the neighbor in the shed to talk
Thanks for posting. 😊
My grandma literally called BBT The Sheldon Show and couldnt remember the actual name
She never missed an episode 😂
According to Adult Georgie in tbbt, when George died, Mary was deeply affected and became a mess and he handled most of the families problems esp Missy. Let's see how they will play that out in the upcoming spin-off since he is now a starting young family man.
You probably won't see this, but in S7 E4 him cheating is debunked. He walks in on Mary roleplaying as a German women and Sheldon catches them without knowing it's his Mom
I like young Sheldon, cause it actually revolves around his family not the Sheldon alone
And the writing is great as well
apparently Missy is the youngest of the three Cooper kids and Shelden is the older twin so Sheldon is technically the middle child
i looove young sheldon. missy is the absolute best, i also love meemaw! i love mary as well, and dr sturgis is wonderful. so many great characters. and about a family that many can relate to, in different ways.
I don’t get the hate for when the women showed up. As a woman married to a neurodivergent man, I related (sometimes a bit too much) to the relationship the women had with them men.
My youngest (on the spectrum) ADORES Young Sheldon. He has thoroughly enjoyed watching the Big Bang Theory with me.
My Aspby husband hated BBT and would not watch until 4th season. Maybe he felt it made fun of him? Anyway, we watched all Y S together and it led to some interesting conversations we might not have had without the show. ❤
Great video! _Young Sheldon_ just keeps surprising me. I'm very excited to see what the final season has to offer and how they'll tie up all the lose ends between the two shows.
lol as i was thinking "its like better call saul, we are anticipating what happens since we know what goes wrong" you said it haha
I rewatched tbbt all 12 seasons in a few weeks and I literally love it, it’s my favorite show of all time, I have nothing to complain abt it and would watch way more than 12 seasons lol. It was kinda weird for me starting to watch young Sheldon bc of these differences. I literally just started, I’m on season 2 😂. Sheldon was always my favorite character and I was really curious to watch how his childhood would be and how they’d fill the plot holes about his life left in tbbt I was really curious abt. The format is different but I’m getting used to it and enjoying a lot lol
Update?
18:35 That aged badly
