    Storyline

    Edit
    It's 1989 and 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper has skipped four grades to start high school along with his less-intellectual older brother. As he struggles to be understood by his family, classmates, and neighbors, his mother arms him with the best tool she: reminding bullies that his dad is the football coach and his brother is on the team. His twin sister doesn't share his exceptional mind, but she has a much clearer vision of what life has in store for the young genius. Jim Parsons, who plays the adult version of Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory (2007), narrates.

    • Trivia
      Zoe Perry is the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf from The Big Bang Theory (2007). Over 20 years earlier she also played the younger version of her mother in episodes 5.7, Halloween IV (1992) and 7.19, All About Rosey (1995) of Roseanne (1988). Now she again plays a younger version of her mother's character over 20 years later.
    • Goofs
      Connie (aka Meemaw) often went to a casino across the border in Louisiana throughout the series. The series takes place starting in 1989. Casino gambling wasn't made legal in Louisiana until 1991, and the first casino wasn't opened there until 1993. Furthermore, the casinos that opened around that time were all riverboats that initially had to be moving up and down the river before any gambling could commence, but the casino Connie often went to was land-based. The first (and as of 2021, only) land-based non-tribal casino with table games in Louisiana is Harrah's New Orleans, which didn't even open until 1999.

    Loved it!
    I don't know what everyone else's problem is, but my husband and I watched the opener and loved it. It was cute and funny and I personally love the fact that Jim Parsons is narrating. We are both huge BBT fans and are especially fond of Sheldon, and we thought this was a great episode and can't wait to see more. The only thing I'm irritated with is that they're waiting a whole month to air the next episode. That is just ridiculous to me!
