Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage

The show has potential. The first episode was cute but not terribly funny. What was extremely annoying was the constant laugh track. Constantly hearing people laugh like crazy at things that might (might) be cute but are certainly not funny distracts from the show. Other than that the show certainly has potential. The cast is strong and fun to watch. After The Big Band and Young Sheldon it's interesting to see what the family is up to. Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage continues the family story leading us back to The Big Bang. I like that many of the characters from Young Sheldon are part of the new series and I hope they continue to make appearances.

The actor who plays Georgie is a genuine find, his character really developed well during the course of Young Sheldon. Mandy is a suitable sidekick, but Georgie really is the heart and soul of the show. Sadly they dropped the Single Camera film format for Multi-camera digital and felt the WRONG need to add that incipit laugh track, ala the new Frazier. The look and feel is off and the Laugh Track is beyond annoying an unnecessary. Funny, they tried to explain it away in the narrative. Didn't work. IT IS NOT NECESSARY AND IS DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING. Even worse, the laugh tracks they use today are so blatantly phony it' pathetic. One of the reasons BBT and YS worked so well was the peripheral characters. They were all wonderful. I don't really see that here. While Mandy's Dad is pretty good, her mom is extremely annoying and one dimensional. Any stroll through past sitcom success stories and failures will show you the ones that succeeded, like King of Queens, Cheers, Seinfeld did so because, in addition to solid main characters, the peripheral side ones were equally interesting, funny and added something to the show. Think Kripke, Will Wheaton, Billy Sparks, Professor Sturgis. The new Frazier fails because other than Frazier, the rest of the cast is boring and bland. Kevin Can Wait failed because, other than Kevin James, the rest of the cast were boring and bland.

Worth watching. George and Mandie's First Marriage is a great spinoff from Young Sheldon. The characters are great, relatable, and the storyline is entertaining. However, the laugh track is super, super annoying and it absolutely ruins the show!! Get rid of it for next season, if there is a next season. PLEASE!! NO MORE LAUGH TRACK !! It takes so much away from the show. Other viewers have mentioned this and I have to agree 100%. If there is a chance that this show continues, no laugh track would be the greatest improvement. I also hope to see other Young Sheldon characters in future episodes.

It's a great show, so far. The characters are great, and the actors are still amazing. The laugh track will definitely take some getting used to since these characters don't have a history of having one in the background. There didn't seem to be very much actual show time. There seemed to be a ton of commercials. My biggest issue, at this point, has to be the music. The credit/opening sequence, with the dancing and the horrible music, might be fine in other shows, but it doesn't come close to working put for this show. To make matters worse, we have to here it over and over. It's terribly difficult, but I'll do my best to ignore it......for now.

It felt like I stepped back into 2005. The laugh track was overused, the jokes were over the top, and the plot of the first episode felt pointless. The characters are lacking depth and feel more one dimensional compared the shows predecessors. I would have preferred the format to follow that of Young Sheldon as the format with the laugh track doesn't seem to fit. The show does have redeeming qualities with past favorites from YS appearing and the storyline fitting. The opening title theme is an interesting one, but goes well as it gives into the comedy that the writers seemed to be looking to give the show.
