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.

A big thank you for all those responsible making this show. Each episode was only 20-minutes long, but watching each guarantees an amazing experience. It left me in deep pondering after finishing the entire series (with my family). It's amazing how a light-hearted comedy can effect such a meaningful impact. I wish there were other shows like this with such high quality, but there was none, there is none. I'm sure that even years from now, there will be none. I'm just glad that I got to experience watching this show and am so thankful to everyone who crafted this 'perfection'. So excited for Georgie & Mandy's upcoming series, even if it ends up half as great this one, it will be better than all the other shows out there.

This is a rare spin-off that far surpasses the original. Sheldon is surrounded by a cast of believable, fleshed out and funny characters rather than the shallow stereotypes in The Big Bang Theory. His antics, trials and passions were very relatable and nostalgic to me. This show has humour (actual humour, not the canned iCarly level "humour" of the original show) and, most importantly, heart. Kudos to the actors especially!

Young Sheldon" is a heartwarming and clever series that perfectly blends humor with emotional depth. The storytelling is engaging, capturing the childhood of Sheldon Cooper with a fresh perspective that adds depth to his character. Iain Armitage delivers a brilliant performance as young Sheldon, supported by a talented cast, especially Zoe Perry and Lance Barber. The show's mix of comedy, life lessons, and family dynamics makes it a standout prequel. Highly recommended for fans of heartfelt sitcoms! I would definitely recommend all seasons and then Gorger and Mandys First Marriage. Its absolute entertaning.

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!
