Really like the show Young Sheldon. Sheldon's interactions with his father really are interesting, his father will eventually cheat on his mother and pass away before this show is over.

I was watching Young Sheldon S1 Ep3 and I really hope George Sr is doing okay but you know why ? For Mary, Sheldon's mother bc she deserves the world ❤ And I can't stop thinking how he could ever cheat on her someday ... She is hella scared to loose him just like the children 😭

It's in Big Bang Theory! It's how/why Sheldon knocks three times. The second and third knocks are to give people 'time to get their pants on'

Watching Young Sheldon where George is playing catch with Missy after a boy rejected her and it occurs to me that the show has to have George die before the end and I don't think I'm emotionally ready for that #YoungSheldon
