As shows meet the chopping block i.e. Cancellation, this one barely missed the recent fall of the axe. While CBS is giving it another season, it's current ratings indicate it may (hopefully) get cancelled midway through.
I never liked (adult) Sheldon on TBBT (AKA The Sheldon Cooper Show), finding the self-centered, egotistical, narcissistic, whiny excuse for a human being beyond annoying. This lead to not caring much for the other characters due to the fact they rarely, no, never, stood up to him. During the last episode of TBBT I was keeping my fingers crossed the gang would finally snap, trick him into thinking the elevator was fixed, then push him down the empty shaft. Ah, one can dream.
How did (adult) Sheldon become so obnoxious? Because Young Sheldon is a parental failure. They both cave to his every whim, he's never punished or disciplined, and they take his backtalk without question. I don't care if he's gifted beyond his years; he needs actual discipline and learn to have respect for others, especially his elders. The way he treats his teachers/professors should have had him tossed from school ages ago (and for that matter (adult) Sheldon would never have been able to keep a job).
The only characters that are actually funny are Mee Maw and Missy. Mom's a religious nut job so far from reality no amount of Prozac is going to help her. Dad's just there, chugging beer and waiting for the chest-clutcher that we learned about on TBBT, and Georgie... I haven't figured out what purpose he even has other than sexually assaulting girls during baptisms.
Yep, so, so close. Fingers crossed the ratings continue to plummet and the Young Sheldon cast soon join the ranks of the unemployed.
