Cynophobia and Gel
claudio_carvalho12 July 2023
Herschel Sparks is taking care of his brother's dog since he is in jail. When the dog escapes from his backyard, the animal runs into the Cooper's garage where Sheldon is. The boy has cynophobia and is terrified with the dog, and Mary forces George to ask Herschel to keep the dog in his house. However, the dog feels attraction for Sheldon and sneaks to be close to him, creating a problem between the Coopers and the Sparks.

"A Dog, a Squirrel, and a Fish Named Fish" is another funny episode of "Young Sheldon". His cynophobia is hilarious, and the imbecile attempt of his family giving a fish to him makes laugh a lot. The fight between Mary, Brenda and Meemaw, with Pastor Jeff trying to help the group of Christians is also laughable. The conclusion, explaining the reason why the dog is mysteriously attracted by Sheldon, is the best part of the show. My vote is eight.

A Dog, a Squirrel, and a Fish Named Fish
studioAT28 March 2023
This episode goes in for a few fairly standard sitcom type plots (the warring neighbours, a dog) but manages on the whole to put a new and fairly interesting twist on them.

I'm really enjoying lots of elements of this show, and feel that by this stage of the first series the writers have done a good job of making it feel like an ensemble piece that Sheldon just happens to be at the centre of, rather than it being all on his head. We know what happens when a spin-off is all on one persons head after all (hi 'Joey').

It's not one of the better episodes, but it's warm and its engaging, and that goes a long way.
