I’m not just about shows that have ended or classics I watch plenty of the new shows coming up. In case anyone here has some doubts about the newer shows coming up or upcoming seasons I hope I can put your mind at ease after the pilot. So today I am reviewing the spin-off of one of my favorite shows on TV, Young Sheldon. I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE.
Even if you do not watch “The Big Bang Theory” you have to know about one of the characters, Sheldon Cooper (Golden Globe and Emmy winner Jim Parsons providing narration for the show) as he is often listed as one of the best, annoying, unique, etc. characters on TV today possibly ever. Well fans now will have a glimpse of what Sheldon was like as a kid (Big Little Lies star Iain Armitage) in Texas with his born again Christian mother Mary (Zoe Perry, the daughter of Laurie Metcalf who plays the older version of Mary on The Big Bang Theory), his father George (Lance Barber) and his siblings; older brother George Jr (Montana Jordan) and twin sister Missy (Raegan Revord).
The pilot starts of as Sheldon is nine years old and about to start high school, and let’s just say he doesn’t exactly get off on the right foot. If you are familiar with Big Bang you know why, if not let me explain. Sheldon is a very smart person, but his people skills are not up to par. He values education, following the rules and is very rational; he will say anything and everything on his mind even if it embarrasses others or he gets picked on. His siblings are annoyed with him and his parents just want him to fit in; but with Sheldon that is not possible.
The pilot aired on Monday September 25, and it was everything I wanted it to be and more. Armitage has everything audiences love about Sheldon in the predecessor down to the tee. So far the pilot shows the dynamic of the Cooper family and what will happen going forward as Sheldon goes into high school. Young Sheldon will be back in November and I cannot wait to see where the show will do next.
In an update, I am loving Young Sheldon. The characters are amazing, writing is impeccable and overall pretty funny. I know things may get dark as the show goes on possible if I remember Sheldon’s family history on Big Bang, but it may be interesting.
