Young Sheldon started out as the story of Sheldon Cooper of the Big Bang Theory as a young child. Somewhere along the way, the story became better when it was about Missy, George, Georgie, Connie and sometimes Mary. Sheldon is probably the least likeable character because he gets away with too many things because Mary protects him.

Almost nowhere to be seen in the early season was Sheldon getting the treatment he referred to when he was an Adult (being locked into a locker, being given swirled, etc.). Mostly, it was Sheldon being a rather nasty little creep.

Meanwhile, Missy and Georgie grew as characters. George was shown as a caring father who (has he not been blocked by Mary) might've helped Sheldon become a more aware human.

The show's tagline is "Marriages end. Facilities don't."

They should. Really, this "family" should never has started, but it SHOULD END.

The comedy is questionable, at best, It is based on punchlines we already know, physical bits that have been overdone, and rehashes of VERY OLD plot notions. (I can't say "ideas" because these are barely notions and sucky ones at that.

Did the network order this before seeing the pilot? That is the only way I can understand how it got onto the air. Perhaps they saw the list of a winning cast and never took into account that they could manage to come together SO BADLY.

Bad acting, bad directing, bad comedy bad everything.

Okay, well maybe it wasn't THAT bad, but Lord, it wasn't good.

It makes me wonder why didn't the creators take on the far more logical tale of how the Targaryen's come to Westeros and captured it. What machinations were used and what allies were made to make it work.

Instead we get this storyline. It isn't always comprehensible and is definitely not very intriguing, but you get more of the story of how the platinum blondes managed to have such a broad base that it included black ones and how desperately they wanted to have women assume their role as equals (only to need to lose it later since they won't have it in the later stories) and more pointless drivil.

A great family (perhaps the first rulers of Dorne would have been more logical for a great house which was black, It could have been shown as more courageously a house fought for and managed to remain a kingdom until the end (perhaps even with the family that cut the successful deal being the House of MarteL).

But no! We get this very poor tale of a very weak king.
