This is where the show began to fire on all cylinders. It will be around for awhile - long enough for an event to happen mentioned in the Big Bang Theory. The spoiler isn't for this episode, it is for something that will happen somewhere around Season 5-7, or later. If you watched Big Bang Theory you know what I'm referencing - if you didn't, and this is a fresh show for you (or you're watching Young Sheldon before Big Bang Theory - which would be fun if you never saw Big Bang). I'm posting a major spoiler for a main character of the show.
You've been warned.
This appears to be the first time George Sr. refers to something the family can do when he's dead. We know from the Big Bang Theory George Sr will die when Sheldon is 14. I'm re-watching the series right now (currently the show just finished the 3rd season) and have noticed George Sr foreshadows his own death in multiple episodes. This didn't used to bother me, but as I've grown to care about George Sr. (expertly played by Lance Barber), I find myself kind of skipping a breath now when he mentions dying. But I will faithfully keep watching like any good American - in complete denial that anything bad can happen to me, my family, or my TV friends so I can enjoy the series without getting verklempt. (Shout out to you TV writers for teaching this white guy from the south some Yiddish phrases.)
