I personally laughed quite a bit. I'm also sympathetic to Sheldon's sister, as Duck Tales is awesome and I would have wanted to watch that as well.

It All Started Before the Big...BANG!: The Official Young Sheldon Thread

It was ok. Show itself not the best, but part advertised was. The kid playing Sheldon is good. His sister was funny in it, just being the irrelevant kid lol.
Overall, it reminded me of a poor version of the 90s show Smart Guy. -

I actually really liked it. Wasn't crazy funny or anything but had a Malcolm in the Middle feel to it and I loved that show. Really intrigued on where this goes. The kid did a good job and I love the mom and sister. Think this has potential.

I thought it was alright. Laughed a few times. I'll definitely give this a few more episodes. Stupid how it won't be back on again now though until November 2, when Big Bang moves to Thursdays.
I thought they made a fantastic casting choice with the mother. She has the same mannerisms of Laurie Metcalf (Sheldon's mom on Big Bang).
Every time the dad is on the screen, all I see is Leonard's bully Jimmy Speckerman.Comment

I wasn't really crazy about the first episode, but I don't really like shows that focus around little kids. But most of that first episode was in the first look videos for the show, so that never really helps. Is the next one really not until November? That's nuts!

LOL, just looked her up on IMDB. No wonder she has the same mannerisms, she is Laurie Metcalf's real life daughter.

It was amusing...hard to have the pilot be perfect when they're setting everything up.
I need to see a few episodes to see what it'll be like normallyNintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

Re: It All Started Before the Big...BANG!: The Official Young Sheldon Thread
I thought the first episode was okay, liked it enough to watch it again in November. A thought I had, why didn’t they use the sets from Sheldon’s home in Texas from BBT? Would have added a nice bit of continuity between the two shows. Did they ever mention Sheldon’s Dad being a football coach in BBT? I only recall them saying he was a drunk and a story where Sheldon went to work with his dad and figured out his dad was stealing from the register and his dad was fired.I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

I think I remember something about his father drinking a lot. In Young Sheldon he obviously seems like a decent guy but maybe his addictions get the better of him later on.
When I see his father I can't get Bill Ponderosa (Always Sunny In Philadelphia) out of my head.Comment

It's possible the house just went under renovations in the 20 years between this show and the bbt episodes of his house.I thought the first episode was okay, liked it enough to watch it again in November. A thought I had, why didn’t they use the sets from Sheldon’s home in Texas from BBT? Would have added a nice bit of continuity between the two shows.

I don't think they said his job, but it's possible that cash register one happens later on. Like take your kids to work day in a future episode since he's in high school.
As for football, Sheldon did say he knew so much about football because of his dad, so that's probably closest reference we have. His dad seems fine for now, but there's 3-4 years I think between the first season VS when he dies, so if they are on that long, I'm sure they'll make him go down a bad path.Comment

Re: It All Started Before the Big...BANG!: The Official Young Sheldon Thread
It was basically an "early preview". Get people interested in September so that once it begins its full airing in November, more people will have known about it.
They can't air this and BBT together due to scheduling reasons. They already got a full Monday lineup, and with TNF on, that's 1 less day of shows. Once TNF ends is when BBT/Young Sheldon begins on Thursdays.Comment
