Young Sheldon

I have a problem with the reviewers complaining about how Sheldon is such a brat and at the same time say they watch TBBT. If they watch that show then they must know Sheldon is a brat. In this show, though, we have a 9 year old version of a bratty Sheldon. In both cases he isn't bratty because he's spoiled or mean hearted. He's bratty because he's a genius and a social simpleton. That's the point. I Iiked the show right off but I can also say that it has improved as these brief, less than 30 minute, episodes are able to develop the characters and relationships more. One reviewer complained about the lack of character development after only watching the first show! I also think the actor playing young Sheldon is doing a great job. As with the adult Sheldon the young Sheldon is sincere, wants to be good, knows his own mind but also knows that he doesn't understand social norms and so listens to those close to him although he reserves the right to not accept those norms. I enjoy the family dynamic and the situations that arise because he's special. This family is much more realistic than the Malcom in the Middle family, a show one reviewer touted as being at a level this show couldn't come up to. The characters in MITM were ridiculously stupid. The characters in Young Sheldon each ha ve a unique personality and do things that you have seen others do or can imagine others doing, like Sheldon's brother trying chewing tobacco, repeatedly spitting it out in disgust then saying "I must be doing something wrong". The writing warms the heart as we watch a family moving past disagreements and difficulties caused by their special Sheldon - all realizing that they love him and he's family which is more important than those disagreements and difficulties.

I thought it was a great first episode and a brilliant idea. There's so many ways this show can go if done correctly. Taken a character already loved and showing us all the bits we hear pieces from on The Big Bang Theory. I think it was a bit reckless using an actor from The Big Bang Theory to star in a different role in this spin off but can put that down to me being picky.

Overall I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing where the series goes!

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.

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.
