It’s that focus on family, with Sheldon as an oddity and an outsider but still loved, that makes Young Sheldon sweeter than The Big Bang Theory. ... Although the humor--in the show’s pilot at least--is less reliant on what most people would call “jokes” and more reliant on “a tiny child in a bowtie saying the word ‘brassiere,’” as far as sitcoms go, it’s inoffensive and as comforting as Mrs. Cooper’s tater tots.

With its seventh and final season premiering on February 15, Young Sheldon continues to prove its brilliance as it prepares to wrap up the storylines of its now-beloved characters, all while proving why it has lasted, and excelled, for the past seven years.

So Sheldon was not my favorite character in BBT and I resisted watching this because I was really not into another sitcom of watching his character-self whine and **** for 23 minutes an episode - My god I could not have been more shocked when I found this show to be warm, wholesome, heart-lifting, enlightening, endearing and hilarious all at the same time. By the end of the series I wanted to move Medford and ask to be adopted . . . As long as George is still there.

Vi la serie completa en menos de un mes y me encantó. Lo mejor es la evolución de los personajes y cómo, poco a poco, la historia deja de centrarse solo en Sheldon —algo que incluso se refleja en la intro de las primeras temporadas— para dar paso a la familia completa, poniendo énfasis real en cada uno de ellos. Y ahí está uno de sus mayores aciertos: los personajes. En espacios cerrados brillan con personalidades muy marcadas; los amas, odias algunas de sus decisiones, pero igual les tomas cariño, casi como si fueras parte de la familia. Con el paso de las temporadas, mientras Sheldon crece, se vuelve bastante insoportable (a ratos parece que hasta sus propios guionistas le agarraron mala, dándole más protagonismo al resto), y sin darte cuenta te enamoras del día a día de los demás. Hasta que llega el final. Sin entrar en spoilers, ocurre algo que se viene anunciando desde el inicio y durante todas las temporadas, pero aun así no lo ves venir y te destroza como espectador. Sin duda, una gran serie: memorable, muy recomendable y, por si fuera poco, se gana un 10/10 solo por no usar risas enlatadas.

Young Sheldon is a smarter, more humorous and heartfelt show than "The Big Bang Theory." Adult Sheldon is entertaining, but young Sheldon is even better.

In many ways this show plays like a cross between “The Wonder Years” and last fall’s “Speechless” only in this one the mother character is likable. Zoe Perry, daughter of Laurie Metcalf (who plays Sheldon’s mom on “BBT”), is a standout in a pilot episode that’s warm and embraceable but not yet essential viewing. But it may get there.

With all these elements working in its favor, scale back on the titular character and give Missy and the mom some more individual airtime and you might have something worth its timeslot.

Young Sheldon is caught in an in-between place, destined to flummox those who’d love it the most.

One thing everybody will be able to agree on, though, is that the 9-year-old version of Sheldon in the Big Bang spinoff Young Sheldon is not ready for prime time or even the pre-dawn hours of a public-access channel. This prequel about Sheldon's childhood in rural Texas, surrounded by an uncomprehending family and a hostile town, is hideously misconceived.

Interesting for the first season or two, then becomes repetitive and is stretched out way too far.

It is not for me. Big bang theory spin off, based on a younger version of one of the most irritating charcarter of that series. Aimed toward young audience it looks and feel like a fanfiction.

this is such a caricature that it's frustrating to watch without loosing your patience. Let's be fair, it's aimed at young kids, nothing more.
