Young Sheldon

I really enjoyed the show being a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory. I remember Mary being a little off her rocker in The Big Bang Theory but in Little Sheldon she is hard to stomach. I can't stand it when her eyes bug out 90% of the time she talks. The facial expressions are also nerve grating. Her better than thou attitude. If it's not done her way it's the wrong way. Shoving her Christianity down everybody's throats. Her overpowering parenting. The kids HAD to sneak around and try to do things without her knowing because she disapproved of everything. I understand Sheldon is very young especially in college but she has absolutely no trust or faith in anyone in her family. If it's fun, Mary will definitely be there to ruin it.

I was surprised how many people dislike the pilot. I thought it was an interesting idea done well. And now that I've watched six episodes, I feel fully justified in saying this is terrific television.

The show centers on the childhood of The Big Bang Theory's high- functioning autistic genius Sheldon Cooper. Sheldon is a quirky savant in a very ordinary family with a religious mom and a puzzled dad. Too smart for his peers, the 9-year-old Sheldon is boosted to high school, where he promptly alienates everyone.

Some people complain that Sheldon is too annoying, but why would you want a series about a young Sheldon if you didn't want to see someone annoying? I find the kid version less irritating, primarily because he is powerless and thus is not, like his adult counterpart, bullying and browbeating and insulting his friends to get his way. Young Sheldon is just trying to survive and, more importantly, learn.

In fact, my main concern is that Sheldon seems a little too normal. He's got some funny habits and is a bit obsessive, but I would have expected someone far *more* obnoxious and weird. He really just seems precocious and socially clueless.

I wasn't surprised that Sheldon is socially inept or sometimes rude - if you are, then once again I have to ask why on earth you watched this show. I was surprised at the sweetness of the series. Sheldon's mom is wonderfully understanding and supportive, and even his dad has occasional moments of rough, loving insight.

Some people have said there aren't any jokes in this series, but it's actually very funny. No, there aren't any Catskills comics material, but if you think there are no jokes I think you just need the BBT's laugh track.

It took until episode 5 of season 2 for me to realise that this has no laugh track, yet it is much funner than the show it spins off from, The Big Bang Theory. Don't get me wrong I have been watching TBBT from day one and will continue to watch it, but Young Sheldon is much much funnier.

Like another reviewer stated, it must have been a huge chore trying to find a child to play Young Sheldon, but they have done a fantastic job. For me the whole cast does a brilliant job, but my favourite is Montana Jordan as Georgie, closely followed by Annie Potts as his Grandmother and Lance Barber as his dad.

Excellent show and one I look forward to watching each week.

I just finished watching this series, i remember starting it when i was in schooling probably 7th or 8th grade, i used to be excited to watch new episodes every friday and laugh with my stomach as it brings me joy.

Im going to be honest, i never fully watched the big bang theory, but i enjoyed looking at clips of the show in facebook, youtube etc.

Watching them made me happy and brought me laughter. During the first few episodes i never thought that the shows were related and that young sheldon was a prequal. But when i found out i was more than happy.

My Favorite characters were definetly, Connie tucker or Memaw, George cooper, Mary, mandy, missy, sheldon, georgie.

When the show ended it made an imprint on me, i will definetely remember this my whole life.

The show has good characters and amazing comedy, this is definetly a recommendation.

I cried tears when the last few episodes aired, but it was worth it.

Im looking forward to seeing more clips of the show on social media to remind me about the greatness of this show.

I congratulate the show cast and production team, wishing them good luck in upcoming film and TV awards.

Sitcoms give me ulcers, yet TBBT is enjoyable despite the detestable canned laughter, hence Young Sheldon is an immediate improvement, though the beauty is more than skin deep. Initially it rides in tandem with its elder sibling, but has blossomed beyond its roots into an independent exploration of family dynamics, tackling everyday issues with empathy and humour.

Iain Armitage and especially Reagan Revord as twins Sheldon & Missy, are fabulous offering sensitivity, scope for growth and comedic opportunity not possible in TBBT.
