Big disappointment. Every word is too much. I want a refund for my wasted time and energy. And I hope this show will be canceled soon.

Whether you have loved it or hated it throughout the years, The Big Bang Theory has become one of the most watched television sitcoms of all time. It was without question that the studio would eventually capitalize on it before it fizzled out. With all of the sequels, reboots, remakes, and prequels hitting the big or small screen as of late, it came as no surprise that a series like Young Sheldon got the green light. When this show first aired, I have to admit that I was rolling my eyes, and I am admittedly a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory. Yes, it has become a one-note series that doesn't quite further these characters as much as it should, but that's another discussion. This first season of Young Sheldon actually surprised me in a positive way. If you're a fan of comedy or The Big Bang Theory in general, then here's why I recommend checking out this show, shockingly.Following a younger Sheldon Cooper and his family, this series takes place in Texas with a voiceover of Jim Parsons as the titular character from the audience's present day. Like any sitcom, this show has each episode relying on characters getting into shenanigans, but there's something special about this show once you get invested. The first couple of episodes feel forced, but once you see what the show is trying to be, I think some real emotion can also be found if you're able to invest yourself. Sadly, the biggest positive I can give this show also makes me think less of the latest season of The Big Bang Theory simultaneously.Young Sheldon has its share of great moments in terms of comedy and being relative to our everyday lives, but there's also an undertone of emotion, dealing with family issues, coming into your own, and the notion of death. There's a sense of realism, which is something that The Big Bang Theory has been missing throughout the past few years. I found myself caring very much about the character of Sheldon, which made me enjoy certain recent episodes of The Big Bang Theory even more, but that seems like a negative towards that show. Would I have been as invested in The Big Bang Theory this year if it wasn't for Young Sheldon? Probably not.Where this show shines is in its supporting cast. Sheldon's brother Georgie and sister Missy steal the show on multiple occasions, almost becoming the stars of the show. Their chemistry with Sheldon is hilarious and they're meant to represent pretty much every audience member watching this series. I loved the way the rest of his family continuously cares and worries about our titular character all at the same time and it left me wanting more. Look, there's nothing ground-breaking about this series, and you've probably seen it done better many times throughout the last couple of decades, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was waiting for each episode to be released.In the end, this first season of Young Sheldon surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to be its own thing, dealing with a family in the past, and even getting into some serious topics, rather than solely relying on dumb comedy for families to enjoy. It has a mixture of everything and is honestly a more accessible show in comparison to The Big Bang Theory. I can honestly see people of all ages enjoying this as one of their pieces of weekly programming. Young Sheldon may be a generic sitcom at times, but its heart is in the right place, and that's much more than I was expecting from it at the beginning. I recommend checking this series out and I'll be tuning in to season two next year.

Common, this is definitely watchable! Give it a try! Many say: this kid deserves a swat, kick punch,,, he is annoying / well isnt the big Sheldon in TBBT annoying as well??? Thats who he is!! Many say: accent should be on mother / truthfully , young Sheldons mom is rather present in the show Many say: dissapointed, annoyed, boring,,,,, simply give it a try for a few episodes and if you dislike it go watch something else! Someone mentioned that many give reviews "just to do so" - and he/she is right! This is really watchable and cute, and there will always be lovers and haters and people trying to compare with the real TBBT. Dont do that, watch it or dont, in the end it really isnt a rocket science! Just a small Shelly,,,,, relax!

If you have watched all the Big Bang them you can relate to this absolutely brilliant
