Young Sheldon is a sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro. The series is a spin-off prequel to The Big Bang Theory and follows the character Sheldon Cooper at the age of 9, living with his family in East Texas and going to high school.Iain Armitage stars as young Sheldon, alongside Zoe Perry as Sheldon's mother Mary Cooper, Lance Barber as Sheldon's father George Cooper, Sr., Montana Jordan as Sheldon's older brother George "Georgie" Cooper, Jr., Raegan Revord as Sheldon's twin sister Missy Cooper and Annie Potts as Sheldon's maternal grandmother Connie Tucker. Jim Parsons, who portrayed an adult Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, narrates the series and serves as an executive producer.The main premise of the show is about Sheldon Cooper working to enhance humanity's understanding of science, particularly physics fields such as general theory of relativity and quantum chromodynamics, so that by the time he becomes an adult he'll be a renowned physicist who reaches the same levels of fame as his idols Albert Einstein, Clark Maxwell, Paul Dirac and Stephen Hawking. His love for science and pursuit to prove that our universe is increasingly expanding often conflicts with his mother's devout religious beliefs, his father not making enough money to fund Sheldon's projects or endeavors, his siblings' mockery and his parents' time-poor schedule having to raise three children.Seasons 11 and 12, the final two seasons of The Big Bang Theory, started bringing in (or reviving, in Mary and Missy's case) older versions of characters on this show as a means of getting more in touch with this show including George Jr. who never appeared in TBBT before. This show then did the reverse for the Season 2 finale, by bringing in children who would grow up to be Leonard, Penny, Howard, Raj, Bernadette and Amy.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other
 Young Sheldon / int_10dcbe05
comment
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: In "A High-Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels", Missy can't help but hug Sheldon when he starts crying after being yelled at by their dad. When Sheldon gets a splinter in his finger, Missy is the one to pull it out. The fact that Narrator!Sheldon states that Missy was able to carry out a 'complex medical procedure' suggests that he was actually a little bit impressed with her. When Missy goes to try out for the baseball team, Sheldon tells her to "Do good baseball." When Sheldon is having second thoughts about going to college, Missy tells him that she too is scared of moving on (to middle school) and tells him that their only option is to do it anyway despite their fear. Sheldon is so impressed that he personally thanks Missy in his graduation speech.

Men Can't Keep House
 Young Sheldon / int_171b1206
comment
Men Can't Keep House: George Sr. and Georgie, as shown when Mary briefly moves out in "A Computer, a Plastic Pony, and a Case of Beer." It's downplayed for George, who can at least survive day-to-day on his own, but played straight for Georgie since he's not the brightest bulb in the first place. Subverted with Sheldon, who actually enjoys cleaning so much that he uses it as his go-to relaxing activity to burn off some steam during a dispute with his mother.

Genre Shift

Genre Shift: A subtle one. While the parent show is a three-camera sitcom with a Studio Audience, Young Sheldon is a one-camera sitcom shot on location, with more emphasis on family drama and a more grounded approach to its comedy.

Unreliable Narrator
 Young Sheldon / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: Sheldon. As mentioned under Continuity Snarl, he obviously exaggerated his father's personality. Sheldon's entire mention of his early life in The Big Bang Theory is not quite as terrible or accurate as it's shown in this series. Possibly justified in that the narrator Sheldon is both Older and Wiser and able to see things as they really were.

The Friends Who Never Hang
 Young Sheldon / int_1ed73929
comment
The Friends Who Never Hang: A family variation. Among the members of the Cooper family, Sheldon and Georgie seldom interact with each other. In fact, " Kirk, Spock and Testicular Hernia" and "A Slump, a Cross and Roadside Gravel" are the only two episodes (as of this writing) to feature the two spending a significant amount of time together without the others as an intermediary.

Aborted Arc
 Young Sheldon / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: Season two episode "An 8-Bit Princess and a Flat Tire Genius" has Georgie getting a job as a mechanic at Herschel Sparks' garage. This is mentioned in a few more episodes, but in season three's "Pongo Pygmaeus and a Culture that Encourages Spitting", Georgie gets a job at Coach Ballard's sporting goods shop, with his old job not being mentioned, and Herschel just stops appearing. This abandonment, along with Herschel's disappearance, is likely due to Billy Gardell's commitments as the lead in BOB �� ABISHOLA. The third season ended with Dale being at odds with Connie and firing Georgie, with the two egging his store as revenge. In the fourth season premiere, Dale makes peace with both of them and rehires Georgie, even after finding out that they egged his store. Georgie and Jana broke up in the third season due to Georgie wanting to see other girls. Season four ignores this and the two are back together. Only for them to part ways again following a pregnancy scare as Georgie told her that he didn't want to get married, but what he meant to say was he was hoping not to have a shotgun wedding. Then, Georgie and Jana are together again in 'A Virus, Heartbreak and a World of Possibilities'. They break up for real in "Potential Energy and Hooch on a Park Bench", as she didn't want to date a high school dropout. Also, "An Academic Crime and a More Romantic Taco Bell" seemed to be setting up a Love Triangle between Georgie, Jana and Veronica. Veronica hasn't appeared nor been mentioned since said episode. Most of the fifth and sixth seasons seemed to be setting up George eventually cheating on Mary with Brenda Sparks. Then, in the middle of the sixth season, Mary and George both catch each other having emotional affairs with Pastor Rob and Brenda, respectively. Brenda apologizes, and Mary and George eventually work things out instead.

Only Sane Man
 Young Sheldon / int_24321e44
comment
George Cooper Sr. has been described as a "redneck Texas Homer Simpson" who would, among other things, drink bourbon from Pepsi cans and use dishes for skeet shooting practice and would fight with Mary but here he seems to be something of an Only Sane Man who urges Mary to give Sheldon his space. This can actually be explained by Sheldon being an Unreliable Narrator. The latter characteristic was mentioned in Mary's first appearance on the show, where she noted that her husband often urged her to take her time with Sheldon.

Iconic Attribute Adoption Moment: For the first five seasons, Sheldon dressed in button-down shirts with a bowtie. The season five finale "A Clogged Pore A Little Spanish And The Future" ended with him embracing adolescence by donning a Flash T-shirt on top of a long sleeve shirt, much like the outfits he would wear as an adult in The Big Bang Theory.

Drunk on Milk: In "A Baby Tooth and the Egyptian God of Knowledge", Sheldon tries to recreate his dream of learning the Unified Field Theory by taking the strongest drug he can think of — chamomile tea. He takes a super concentrated dose of it and gets a hallucination that his scientist posters come to life (along with Missy's Cyndi Lauper poster).

Vocal Evolution: All three of the Cooper children's voices began to change as their actors matured. Georgie's voice began to deepen in the middle of season one, while Missy and Sheldon's voices deepened around late season four and early season five respectively. Billy Sparks' voice got deeper in season four as well.

They are also Apathetic Teachers who don't give a damn about the students or take their jobs very seriously, which is sadly Truth in Television for many US schoolteachers in real life, particularly teachers who work in poorer areas like Medford.

The Chain of Harm: The Cooper family goes through one in the season 4 finale. After Missy suffers heartbreak over Marcus dumping her and Mary has a bad day at work, the two of them bring their conflicts home and it quickly spreads to the rest of the family getting mad and insulting each other. The Adult Sheldon narrator compares it to a bunch of pool table balls hitting each other. Georgie ends up being the only one not affected by it, coming home to witness the arguing and just being confused by what is going on, with nobody dragging him into it.

Character Development: In this prequel series, Sheldon dismissed Maxwell's equations as an unnecessary longcut to finding the quantum chromodynamics value of a magnetic field. In the parent series The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon idolizes Maxwell as one of the greatest physicists of our time. The adult Sheldon, narrating from some unspecified future date after the end of The Big Bang Theory is much more sympathetic and emotionally aware than either his childhood self or how he was during the parent series.

Foregone Conclusion
 Young Sheldon / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: George Cooper Sr. canonically passes away in 1994. If the series timeline remains constant at one year per seasonnote Season one takes place in 1989, season two takes place in early-to-mid 1990, season three seems to begin in mid 1990 and end in mid 1991, season four covers the rest of 1991, possibly going into early 1992 and season five picks up where season four left off; covering the rest of 1992, this will most likely occur sometime in season seven. In "An Existential Crisis and a Bear That Makes Bubbles" Sheldon decides to switch his major to Philosophy due to Professor Erikson shaking his worldview. Sheldon becomes a theoretical physicist when he grows up, so at the last minute, Sheldon decides to stick with science. "A Second Prodigy and the Hottest Tips for Pouty Lips" has Sheldon and Paige acknowledge their crushes on each other and teases that they're going to kiss. However, it was established in The Big Bang Theory that Sheldon had never even kissed a girl before meeting Amy. Turns out that Paige is only tricking Sheldon, she drew a mustache on him while his eyes were closed.

comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Sheldon's teachers hate him because he is such an Insufferable Genius. He gets better after George confides in him that he lost his job at another school by speaking up about something he thought needed to be said. Well, as much better as Sheldon can get. They are also Apathetic Teachers who don't give a damn about the students or take their jobs very seriously, which is sadly Truth in Television for many US schoolteachers in real life, particularly teachers who work in poorer areas like Medford. When George has a heart attack in "Poker, Faith and Eggs", Georgie steals Connie's car and drives to the hospital (along with Sheldon and Missy). Even though Georgie drives slow, he still ends up hitting multiple trash cans and swerving all over the road. Driving too slow can be just as dangerous as driving too fast. In "David, Goliath, and a Yoo-Hoo from the Back" Sheldon accidentally starts a fight between school bullies Jason Davies and Tommy Clarkson, Sheldon steps in to defend Tommy with a slingshot a la David and Goliath. The slingshot is ineffectivenote Using safety goggles as as Improvised Weapon and Sheldon is chased down and stuffed in a locker overnight as a result. George teaches Missy how to throw a baseball and she eventually gets good enough that she earns a spot her school's baseball team. She's not the star player that the story sets her up to be because even though she's a great pitcher, she's terrible at batting because George never taught her to bat. In "An Academic Crime and a More Romantic Taco Bell", Sheldon is angry at Dr. Sturgis for not adding his name to his paper and goes as far as accusing him of plagiarism. Dr. Linkletter, who is not overly fond of Sturgis, still warns Sheldon that what he's doing is wrong and will have consequences. As a result, Dr. Sturgis kicks Sheldon out of his class and pretty much tells him that their friendship is over, though they do fortunately make up later. In "A High Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels", the refrigerator starts making a noise which only Sheldon’s hypersensitive hearing can pick up. His father refuses to get it serviced because it’s otherwise working perfectly, so Sheldon decides to repair it himself, something the average TV Child Prodigy could do easily, but Sheldon simply dismantles the fridge to find the faulty part and is unable to rebuild it. Also, while Sheldon usually gets a lot of slack for his behavior, in this case his parents are furious with him because he needlessly cost the family a lot of money by being unable to tolerate a mild annoyance. When Sheldon is yelled at by George about this, the poor guy is in tears. Sheldon may be a super genius, but he's still just a kid.

Notary Nonsense: In the first-season finale, Sheldon helps write up an agreement governing the budding romance between his grandmother and his mentor, Dr. Sturgis. Much to his delight, Sturgis reveals that he is a licensed notary, and thus could make the agreement official. (Though not addressed in the show, in most cases, notaries are supposed to be impartial witnesses, not involved with the document in question.)

Obnoxious In-Laws: Connie is this to George Sr. She feels he's not good enough for her daughter. Though there are times when they get along quite well, sometimes making jokes together at Mary's expense. In "Body Glitter and a Mall Safety Kit" one of the things Paige says to Sheldon while venting her sorrows is that her (presumably maternal) grandma says mean things about her dad.

Snipe Hunt: In "A Brisket, Voodoo and Cannonball Run", Connie gives George what she says is her brisket recipe, but is really a fake that requires him to go to New Orleans for coffee and spices (including angelica under the name of "Holy Ghost Root" that he buys from a voodoo priestess), and cooking the whole thing continuously for fourteen hours. One taste, and he realizes he's been had. (Oh, and the coffee was for her, not the brisket.) In "An Eagle Feather, a String Bean, and an Eskimo", one of Sheldon's teachers tells her colleagues that she sent him out to look for a completely made-up object just to get rid of him. In "Spock, Kirk and Testicular Hernia", Sheldon gets Missy to leave so he could watch TV by telling her that there is buried treasure in Connie's backyard.

The B Grade: Any test score less than 100% is Sheldon's Berserk Button. In “A Solar Calculator, a Game Ball, and a Cheerleader’s Bosom“, Sheldon gets a B+ on his math test because he forgot to show his work. He blames it on attending a party the previous night, even though he didn’t stay long and didn’t want to go anyway. In "A Math Emergency and Perky Palms", Sheldon takes one of Prof. Sturgis' college tests and it gets a 95% because he didn't use the required equations. He spends the rest of the episode arguing with Sturgis that his solution was better. Sturgis actually agrees with Sheldon, but is reluctant to admit he was wrong.

Age-Gap Romance
 Young Sheldon / int_52196c03
comment
Age-Gap Romance: In season five between Georgie and Mandy. Georgie is seventeen, Mandy is twenty-nine. Both of them lied about their ages (Mandy claimed to be twenty-five, Georgie claimed to be twenty-one) but Mandy confessed her true age long before Georgie did (after they'd slept together several times). And while she didn't commit statutory rape (the age of consent in Texas is seventeen) she's still horrified and breaks things off almost immediately. Unfortunately, she turns out to be pregnant. And unlike many instances of younger boys scoring with older women, Georgie isn't congratulated once the truth comes out and is instead condemned for taking advantage of someone for easy sex and told he now has to pay the consequences.

Intelligence Equals Isolation
 Young Sheldon / int_545d100b
comment
Intelligence Equals Isolation: A primary motif throughout the series. Sheldon is ostracized from his siblings, his teachers, his school principal, his church pastor and his classmates for the fact he can outsmart them at anything and everything. They all become contemptuous towards him because their feelings get hurt by his desire to correct them. An interesting aversion of this trope is that Mary is accepting of Sheldon's atheism albeit she tries to silence his vocal opposition to Christianity. Dr. Sturgis is also an example. Just like Sheldon, he is highly intelligent, but doesn't appear to have any friends or acquaintances, and he is utterly incapable of handling many basic social situations. In Season 2, Paige is able to avoid falling into this trope despite failing to befriend Sheldon who has no interest in making friends with someone who (unintentionally) keeps insulting him for not academically catching up to her speed. This proves that just like Sheldon, Paige doesn't know how to avoid offending other people but she does have the superb social skills that allows her to befriend Missy.

Alternate Reality Episode: 'A Black Hole' shows three alternate realities: A black hole forms at the Waxahachie Supercollider, destroying the Earth. Everyone in the Cooper family is their opposite: Mary is a partygirl, George is a pastor, Georgie is bald, Missy is super smart, Connie is a therapist from New York, Dr. Sturgis is a stereotypical Texan, and Sheldon is a normal kid. There are two Sheldons, who work together to solve physics equations twice as fast, but think of each other as dumb and end up fighting each other.note This could well be a Shout-Out to an episode in Red Dwarf (a sci-fi show referenced in TBBT), where the equally obnoxious Arnold Rimmer clones himself off in the expectation that at last there will be somebody he gets on with perfectly - only to discover he can't stand himself, either.

Shockingly Expensive Bill: This trope plays a crucial role in "A Computer" where when Mary decides to buy the $1200 Tandy XL Computer Sheldon always wanted, she realizes that the family is always low on cash because of how much money George spends on Lone Star beer. Sheldon calculates if George switched to Hawaiian Punch they could afford a bigger house. In "A High-Pitched Buzz", George is shocked at the repairman announcing it'll be $200 to repair the refrigerator Sheldon disassembled (and failed to reassemble). George angrily strikes enough fear into Sheldon to convince the latter to immediately take up a job as a paperboy.

The Reveal
 Young Sheldon / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: The reason why Sheldon never learned how to drive a car is because he still remembers the night Georgie tried driving to the hospital after their dad had a heart attack in 1989. The end of the first season finale reveals that the narrator Sheldon is far older than his The Big Bang Theory-self, as he mentions having children in the past tense. In the Season 4 premiere, Adult Sheldon mentions that he and Amy threw a high-school graduation party for their son Leonard Cooper, meaning that Sheldon's narration takes place at least 10 years after the TBBT finale. "Bazinga" is revealed to be the name of a novelty toy company whose products help Sheldon get in touch with his more childish side. He apparently took their motto ("If it's funny, it's a Bazinga!") to heart.

Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: An inversion. George explains to Ms. Hutchins that Sheldon doesn't really like outdoor sports. Or sports. Or the outdoors. Played straight in "A House for Sale and Serious Woman Stuff" where Sheldon mentions that their new neighbors could have dogs. Or birds. Or both and the birds learn to bark like dogs.

Outgrowing the Childish Name
 Young Sheldon / int_72fb1638
comment
Outgrowing the Childish Name: In "Freshman Orientation and the Inventor of the Zipper", Missy wants to be called "Melissa" now that she's in middle school. She then reverts back to "Missy" in the next episode with no explanation. At the beginning of the series, Mary and Connie called Sheldon "Shelly" and "Moonpie". As of Season 5, they no longer use these nicknames, and call Sheldon by his regular name. However, Mary and Connie use these nicknames in The Big Bang Theory, meaning they either start using these nicknames again at some point, or a Continuity Snarl is in effect.

Put on a Bus: After disappearing without explanation back in season two (due to Billy Gardell being too busy to continue portraying the character after being cast as the lead on Bob Hearts Abishola), Herschel Sparks was officially written off the series in season 4's "A Box of Treasure and the Meemaw of Science", with Brenda telling Mary that he moved out. His daughter Bobbi Sparks was only in the episode "Jiu-Jitsu, Bubble Wrap, and Yoo-hoo", but still acknowledged in "One Bad Night and Chaos of Selfish Desires."

Straw Feminist
 Young Sheldon / int_76d233f9
comment
Straw Feminist: "A Boyfriend's Ex-Wife and a Good Luck Head Rub" gives us Sam, one of Sheldon's college classmates who, along with a boy named Keith, is assigned by Dr. Sturgis to work on a group project with Sheldon. Admittedly a downplayed example as her attitude seems more to do with frustration over being one of the only girls in Dr. Sturgis' class. Still, she thinks Keith and Sheldon are being sexist towards her (and to be fair, Keith sort of was) and she says that Mary baking cookies for the group and doing Keith's laundry is doing a disservice to womankind and raising Sheldon to view women as "note-takers and mommies". Mary tells her (in a way that sounds like she's trying to convince herself more than Sam) that she's happy waiting on Sheldon and that Sheldon isn't sexist. He looks down on everyone equally.

Celebrity Paradox: Wallace Shawn appears as Dr. John Sturgis. Shawn's most famous roles are as Vizzini in The Princess Bride and Rex in Toy Story, both of which have been mentioned many times on The Big Bang Theory. Annie Potts, who plays Meemaw, also appears in the latter as Bo Peep. Missy mentions the TV show Blossom in "A Race of Superhumans and a Letter to Alf". The title character was played by Mayim Bialik, who plays Sheldon's wife Amy on The Big Bang Theory. (Blossom was also mentioned on The Big Bang Theory, in the episode "The Bat Jar Conjecture.")

Sore Loser: Sheldon shows to perhaps be an even bigger one as a kid. When he lost the science fair he makes a scene complaining over the result, ignores his parents' attempts to cheer him up, causes disruptions at school due to believing there is no point if he won't be rewarded for his effort, and temporarily decides to give up on science all together. He flips the chessboard when Paige beats him at chess.

Jeff takes the call as a message from God and tells Robin that he can't be physical with her.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the "A Computer" episode, it turns out that the Cooper family could have afforded the computer Sheldon wanted (TANDY 1000 SL) if George Sr. didn't blow their money on Lone Star beer. Taken literally in a later episode when Sheldon breaks the refrigerator trying to fix it. George is clearly livid when explaining to Sheldon how much it cost to hire a repairman. The rest of the episode is Sheldon trying to earn the money to cover the cost.

Bratty Half-Pint: Missy. She openly insults and messes with her two brothers and is even rude to her own mother. She is aware of her own bad attitude, such as when Mary angrily asks her why she is such a brat and she claims she is "crying for attention". She in general just seems to enjoy her dysfunctional family because they amuse her but only as long as she gets her way with everything. Though Missy is often neglected in favour of Sheldon, so her attitude is excusable. Sheldon is a young child and he certainly has his moments of ticking people off through his failure to properly decode social and emotional situations, but in general he is thoughtful and obedient and pretty conscientious about following the rules as he understands them. But he is frequently rude to his teachers, often puts down the rest of his family for not being as smart as he is, and can be just as bad as Missy and Georgie when it comes to tormenting his siblings. However some of his behaviour can be chalked up to his mental issues, he simply doesn't understand that there are certain situations where it's impolite to state the truth, such as when he comments loudly on his female teacher's moustache. Sheldon can be a sweet child when it comes to Mary and Connie, and occasionally George.

Bait-and-Switch: After Sheldon managed to finally show Dr. Hodge his calculations for VTVL technology, he's informed that, while impressive, they don't have the technology available yet to put it into motion. When Sheldon summarizes this as being told he's ahead of his time, which Dr. Hodge admits, you'd think he'd be upset... but instead he calmly tells Dr. Hodge to "call [him] when [they] catch up", and leaves the room satisfied. In "A Musty Crypt and a Stick to Pee On, Dale and Mee-Maw get into an argument while playing D&D with Sheldon and Missy. Dale declares that he is done playing "Mr. Nice Guy" and storms out of the house to get a beer. The next time we see them, not only is Dale still playing with the others, but he also got a beer for Mee-Maw.

In "Ants On A Log and A Cheating Winker", Mary cosplays as a German barmaid for George after returning home from Germany, and Sheldon actually walks in on that instead, leading to him comically running away from home at the end of the episode.

Artistic License – Medicine: Early in Season One, Sheldon claims that Missy cannot kick him into the testicles since they have not descended yet, with Adult Sheldon later informing the viewers they did eventually descend when he was fifteen. This is extremely unlikely to happen in real life, since unless an infant boy's testicles descend spontaneously until he is six months old (in most cases they do so still in utero), they are unlikely to do so later and should be moved to the scrotum surgically, which usually happens when the boy is around one year of age.

"An Academic Crime and a More Romantic Taco Bell": Sheldon helps Dr. Sturgis with a paper he has been working on for years by offering some suggestions, but when he is told this does not give him credibility as a co-author he accuses Dr. Sturgis of stealing credit from him. Dr. Sturgis is deeply offended by this false accusation and tells Sheldon he does not want to see him in his class anymore. "A Baby Tooth and The Egyptian God of Knowledge": Coach Ballard puts Georgie in charge of his store while he and Connie go out for the weekend. Georgie is doing just fine, until he forgot to lock the cash register, leading to a robbery. But that's not all. Dale asks Connie to marry him and she turns him down. He doesn't take the rejection well, to the point that he takes his anger out on Georgie and fires him. This is despite Georgie using the money from his savings to cover the stolen cash, which Dale took anyway.

Child Prodigy
 Young Sheldon / int_8e20ae0d
comment
In "A High Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels", the refrigerator starts making a noise which only Sheldon’s hypersensitive hearing can pick up. His father refuses to get it serviced because it’s otherwise working perfectly, so Sheldon decides to repair it himself, something the average TV Child Prodigy could do easily, but Sheldon simply dismantles the fridge to find the faulty part and is unable to rebuild it. Also, while Sheldon usually gets a lot of slack for his behavior, in this case his parents are furious with him because he needlessly cost the family a lot of money by being unable to tolerate a mild annoyance.

Foreshadowing
 Young Sheldon / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The fact that the narrator Sheldon is speaking from a time after The Big Bang Theory is set is foreshadowed several times, especially since Sheldon seems a lot more understanding of his father's personality and actions than he did in the parent show. Most notably he outright states in one episode that he realises now that his father would often play dumb to make him feel better, something The Big Bang Theory era Sheldon is unlikely to have understood or appreciated. In the fifth season, when the high school principal confronts Georgie about why he is ditching classes, he brings out a pamphlet on teen pregnancy and asks if he is dealing with that. Later on, Georgie gets an older woman pregnant. In "A Resident Advisor and the Word 'Sketchy'", Georgie is worried about Mandy's safety when she stays at Connie's house, listing a tornado as one of the potential dangers. Come the season 6 finale, and Connie's house is destroyed by a tornado.

comment
Doomed by Canon: It's already been established on Big Bang Theory that Sheldon's father died when he was 14. By the time of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Tam are no longer friends, and Tam wasn't mentioned for a long time. It's finally revealed that Tam had planned to go to college with Sheldon, but ended up staying in Texas with a girl he was dating. Sheldon felt so betrayed that he didn't contact or mention him for many years. Fortunately they eventually make amends with one another. The romance between Connie and Dr. Sturgis. Though Connie is still alive in The Big Bang Theory, no mention is made of Dr. Sturgis, so either they'll end up breaking up at some point or John will die. It seems to be the former as John broke up with Connie in "A Pineapple and the Bosom of Male Companionship". Though they may end up back together later. Similarly with Georgie and Veronica. Despite all the ShipTeasing, they are not together in Big Bang. Though it's possible that they do get married at some point, as Big Bang confirms that Georgie has two ex-wives, so it's possible that Veronica could have been his first wife. "Albert Einstein and the Story of Another Mary" has Mary getting pregnant with a fourth child, which there is no evidence of in Big Bang. It ends with a Convenient Miscarriage, and the implication that Sheldon never found out about it. Something similar happened in "A Musty Crypt and a Stick to Pee On". Georgie's girlfriend Jana fears she may be pregnant. The Big Bang Theory presented Georgie as childless and the episode ends with Jana taking a pregnancy test and it comes back negative. Yet another pregnancy arc kicks off in "A Solo Peanut, a Social Butterfly and the Truth", this time involving Georgie and Mandy. Mandy and Georgie have a child together, but again, Georgie doesn't seem to have any children in The Big Bang Theory, talks about a "second ex-wife", no one talks about Mandy and also, despite her living with the Coopers for several months at least, she doesn't show up at Sheldon and Amy's wedding. So either this is a retcon, or they will eventually break up and she will take sole custody of the child, or worse yet, something very bad happened.

Artistic License – Religion
 Young Sheldon / int_a27c0c2c
comment
Artistic License – Religion: Tam, a Roman Catholic, claims Catholics don't believe Jesus is God and Sheldon mentions they are a different religion than Christians. Catholicism is the one of oldest forms of Christianity and certainly believes Jesus is God. For instance, Catholics even refer to the Jesus' mother Mary as the Mother of God.

Work Off the Debt: Sheldon takes on a paper route to pay George after he dismantled the refrigerator, costing his father $200 to get it restored.

Red Scare: In "A Loaf of Bread and a Grand Old Flag," a reporter tricks Sheldon into naively endorsing communism, resulting in the Coopers being ostracized by the rest of the neighborhood. Despite the fact that this episode takes place somewhere in the time frame of 1990-91, in the midst of the Hole in Flag revolutions, the episode has a definite pre-glasnost vibe, with Sheldon even being told at one point that, "we're in the middle of a Cold War." Well, it is Texas.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Except for the pilot, every episode title from the first season contains a list of three things with a serial comma (examples: "Rockets, Communists, and the Dewey Decimal System", "Poker, Faith, and Eggs"). For the second season, the episode titles contain only two things (example: "A High-Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels"). In almost every episode, a Title Drop is split across two or three non-consecutive lines of dialogue, one for each person or thing mentioned in the episode title.

Flashback to Catchphrase: "A Stunted Childhood and a Can of Fancy Mixed Nuts" is this to Sheldon's making-a-joke catchphrase "Bazinga!" from TBBT. It turns out Bazinga is the name of a company selling practical joke items, whose slogan is "If it's funny, it's a Bazinga!". Ten-year-old Sheldon takes that literally and adopts the word as an indication that he is making a joke.

The '80s: The setting, with a decent amount of 1980s fashions and pop culture references. Most or all of the first season is set in 1989. By the second season, the setting has advanced to 1990. Of course, The '90s (at least in the pop culture grunge and extreme everything sense) didn't magically start overnight on January 1, 1990. The early '90s were still culturally '80s, and this was especially true for small-town America.

Aesop Amnesia: At the end of 'A High-Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels', Sheldon vows that, no matter what he's been going through, he'd never be irritating or abusive to his friends and loved ones. Anyone who's watched The Big Bang Theory knows how well this stuck. Something similar happens in "An Entrepreneurialist and a Swat on the Bottom", where Sheldon learns that he's being selfish by putting his wants and needs above everyone else's and apologizes for doing so. Again, anyone who has seen The Big Bang Theory knows that this lesson also didn't stick. Mary learns that Missy feels ignored since all of the attention goes to Sheldon, and makes an effort to focus on her more. Obviously, it does not stick as well. "A Brisket, Voodoo and Cannonball Run" has George and Connie putting their differences aside, but in subsequent episodes, they still engage in Snark-to-Snark Combat and Connie still sees him as a disappointing son-in-law.

Freudian Excuse: Downplayed: Adult Sheldon reveals that Georgie's attempt at driving the both of them and Missy to the hospital George was at is the reason why he never learned how to drive. A later episode shows that Sheldon was in a minor car accident when Connie swerved and crashed into a tree in order to avoid hitting a cat. This traumatized him to the point where he was afraid to even ride in a car. Eventually, his mom was able to calm him down by playing the car games that Sheldon would later annoy his friends with in The Big Bang Theory.

comment
Mistakes Are Not the End of the World: In one episode, Sheldon is disappointed that he got 95% on a science test because he used a different method than the one his teacher was expecting to work out one question. He spends the rest of the episode trying to prove to the teacher that his method is just as valid, and the teacher finally realizes that it is and re-grades his paper, telling him that mistakes aren't always a bad thing as long as you own up to them and learn from them. While old Sheldon claims to have accepted this moral, he also claims that "on the day that he finally does make a mistake", he will own up to it.

Writers Cannot Do Math
 Young Sheldon / int_da1c8191
comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: According to Missy in "Ruthless, Toothless, and a Week of Bed Rest", George was around 25 and Mary was in high school when they got together. According to The Big Bang Theory, George was 50 years old when he died, which would have happened in 1994 or early 1995 since Sheldon was said to be 14 at the time (Sheldon and Missy were born in February of 1980), placing George's date of birth in 1944. Georgie was 14 in season one, which is set in 1989, meaning that Georgie was born in 1975. George would have been 31 years old when Georgie was born. This doesn't add up unless either A) Mary and George were together for several years before Georgie was born (which makes no sense since it's established that Georgie was conceived shortly after Mary and George met and they were more or less forced to get married), B) George's age has been changed (George's age was stated in an early episode of The Big Bang Theory, and it was implied that George had only recently died then. It wasn't until much later that Sheldon mentioned that he was 14 when he lost his father.) or C) Missy was off and George didn't bother correcting her.

Hollywood Atheist
 Young Sheldon / int_da46a2c0
comment
Hollywood Atheist: Sheldon has been an atheist even before the show started going as far as to rebel against his mother and Pastor Jeff's attempts to convert him to Christianity. Sheldon also believes that science is the most important thing in life, that the purpose of life is to enhance humanity's understanding of science (and also disavow or abandon religion) and that because he's the most intelligent of his family, this gives him every right to boss around his family to give him what he endeavors such as gaining the Tandy SL computer despite his family's strained finances, flying to California to meet Stephen Hawking or getting enrolled into a college in his pre-teen years. Downplayed with Paige. She doesn't believe in religion either, but unlike Sheldon, doesn't feel the need to mock believers.

Similarly with Georgie and Veronica. Despite all the ShipTeasing, they are not together in Big Bang. Though it's possible that they do get married at some point, as Big Bang confirms that Georgie has two ex-wives, so it's possible that Veronica could have been his first wife.

A Taste of Their Own Medicine: In "A Docent, a Little Lady and a Bouncer Named Dalton", Sheldon is fired from being a docent at the railroad museum for his usual habit of being a know-it-all. Constance tries to show him what it's like by droning on about knitting. Instead of being bored by it, however, Sheldon finds it fascinating.

At the beginning of the series, Mary and Connie called Sheldon "Shelly" and "Moonpie". As of Season 5, they no longer use these nicknames, and call Sheldon by his regular name. However, Mary and Connie use these nicknames in The Big Bang Theory, meaning they either start using these nicknames again at some point, or a Continuity Snarl is in effect.

Call-Forward
 Young Sheldon / int_e3c36782
comment
Call-Forward: In the pilot, Missy threatens to kick Sheldon in his "little balls". This harkens back (or forward) to "The Pork Chop Indeterminancy" where Missy does just that to Sheldon (off-screen) for trying to control her love life. Sheldon is afraid of birds, as shown in the pilot when he's scared by Billy Sparks' pet chicken. Billy Sparks, mentioned twice in the parent series as Sheldon's childhood bully, appears every now and then. He's even a chicken farmer, implying that the chicken who chased Sheldon up a tree when he was a child belonged to the Sparks family. Several S1 episodes allude to George's impending mortality, as it's been long established on Big Bang that Sheldon's dad died when he was a young teen. In her first appearance on the parent series, Mary described Sheldon's siblings as "dumb as soup." George, Jr. is, indeed, not too bright; and Missy isn't good with numbers. The very first scene (and dialogue) from the pilot reminds us that Sheldon loves trains. In "A Therapist, a Comic Book and a Breakfast Sausage", Sheldon tells Tam that he's in his seat. Sheldon once commented that he made a list of enemies on a floppy disk. In "A Computer, a Plastic Pony, and a Case of Beer", we see him start that list. "A Sneeze, Detention, and Sissy Spacek" has Mary sing "Soft Kitty" to Sheldon when he's sick. Sheldon is shown watching Professor Proton. In "Dolomite, Apple Slices, and a Mystery Woman", Sheldon's heartbreak over geology-enthusiast Libby leads to his belief that geology is not a real science. In "Jiu-Jitsu, Bubble Wrap, and Yoo-Hoo", Sheldon gives himself the taxonomic name Homo novus, which he mentions on "The Euclid Alternative". Sheldon uses it again in "A Race of Superhumans and a Letter To ALF" to refer to a hypothetical race of superhumans descended from a smarter Missy. In "A Mother, a Child, and a Blue Man's Backside", the school counselor suggests that Sheldon apply to Cal-Tech, where present-day Sheldon works in Big Bang. He rejects it, saying that he doesn't want to move to California due to its loose lifestyle. He also rejects MIT for being mostly an engineering school, just as adult Sheldon makes fun of Howard for studying engineering there. "Vanilla Ice Cream, Gentlemen Callers, and a Dinette Set" shows Sheldon coming up with his first relationship agreement. Sheldon's super-sensitive hearing is the focus of "A High-Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels". "An 8-Bit Princess and a Flat Tire Genius" shows how Georgie began his career as a tire expert, as shown in Big Bang. "A Stunted Childhood and a Can of Fancy Mixed Nuts" reveals the origin of Sheldon's "Bazinga" catchphrase on Big Bang. In an attempt to loosen himself up and be more carefree like Missy and Paige, he buys a set of practical tricks from the comic shop, manufactured by Bazinga Novelties; Sheldon takes the tagline "If it's funny, it's a Bazinga" quite literally. In "A Swedish Science Thing and the Equation for Toast", Dr. Sturgis speculates that Sheldon might win the Nobel Prize. Which he does in the final episode of Big Bang. At the end of the episode, as Sheldon listens to the announcement of the Nobel Prizes, the camera shows younger versions of the other main characters of Big Bang, starting with Leonard, who is also listening to the Nobel announcements. "Body Glitter and a Mall Safety Kit" features the first time Sheldon offers someone a hot beverage to someone in distress (in this case a crying Paige upset over her parents' divorce). That same episode has Georgie offering to pay to fix the air-conditioning in George's truck, with George's ego not allowing him to accept it. This shows how willing Georgie is to help his family out financially, something he'd be doing on a regular basis when George died as mentioned in The Big Bang Theory. "A High-Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels" has George telling Sheldon that he will pay back the $200 that they spent to fix the refrigerator that Sheldon broke, and George doesn't care how long it takes. Sheldon does something similar in Big Bang when he lends Penny money and tells her he doesn't care how long it takes her to pay him back. "Pasadena" is about Sheldon going to a lecture by Stephen Hawking at his future workplace Cal-tech. He mentions that he may not get another chance to meet him, even though he does as an adult. Also, once he arrives at Cal-tech, he says he can see himself working there while standing in the cafeteria. The video Sheldon prepares to convince his mother to let him go to college is staged exactly like his "Fun with Flags" videos in Big Bang, complete with awkward wooden delivery. "The Geezer Bus and a New Model for Education" explains the origin of the driving word games that Sheldon would annoy his friends with in The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon is in the car with Connie, and they get into a minor accident which traumatizes Sheldon to the point where he doesn't want to ride in cars. After finally facing his fear, Mary uses the word games to keep Sheldon calm during the ride.

Artistic License – Geography: Averted with the racial demographics of the show's cast. A fair number of the recurring/background characters are Black, while very few are Hispanic, which is accurate for the show's setting in East Texas. (In contrast, the population of Texas as a whole is much more Hispanic than Black.)

Gilford refuses, coldly stating, "I'm old, I'm alone, I'm gonna die soon." He is blatantly rude and even misogynistic to Mary, and they argue with each other because of this. The next morning, Mary does return hoping things will go better this time, only to find that he passed away. Mary laments his death, and presumably arranged a funeral for him.

Crisis of Faith: Mary has one in the aptly titled episode "A Crisis of Faith and Octopus Aliens". She reacts to a neighbor's young daughter dying in a car crash first by keeping busy volunteering at church, then she starts doubting why the girl's death is somehow part of God's plan, and gets so distraught that she stops going to church and saying grace. This change in character worries Sheldon, and he manages to restore her faith by saying that, even though he doesn't believe in God, he's open to the possibility that there might be a creator.

Innocently Insensitive
 Young Sheldon / int_ff17ccf1
comment
Sheldon is a young child and he certainly has his moments of ticking people off through his failure to properly decode social and emotional situations, but in general he is thoughtful and obedient and pretty conscientious about following the rules as he understands them. But he is frequently rude to his teachers, often puts down the rest of his family for not being as smart as he is, and can be just as bad as Missy and Georgie when it comes to tormenting his siblings. However some of his behaviour can be chalked up to his mental issues, he simply doesn't understand that there are certain situations where it's impolite to state the truth, such as when he comments loudly on his female teacher's moustache. Sheldon can be a sweet child when it comes to Mary and Connie, and occasionally George.
