TBBT-Spin-off: "Young Sheldon"
I know we have mixed feelings about this Spin-off but I think we should open a thread for this show nevertheless.
So in case you want to watch or discuss it, here is the place Twitter Account Young Sheldon at CBS Today we got an article from EW with some first pics Big Bang Theory prequel first look as CBS reveals fall schedule __________________

Yeah, we definitely should have a thread. It's unlikely that show would ever actually get a board, so we definitely need a place to discuss it here.
I'm not excited. I've already said that in other threads, but to sum up here 1. I like Sheldon for Jim and his relationships with the other TBBT characters, and Sheldon is not played by Jim here nor will the other characters be there and 2. Sheldon's childhood was by and large full of bullying and belittling by both family and other kids. I don't want to have to watch him suffer all the time. That said, I'll watch the pilot. Roxanne and I are going to do a podcast analyzing the pilot in September or October. Whether or not I watch beyond that will depend on if I either like it or dislike it in a way that I want to keep watching - like how Roxanne said "it's like that thing with a trainwreck, you just can't look away." __________________

They did cast a great group (with the exception of Lance Barber )- the idea with Lauries daugther playing Sheldons mom is great and Iain is an adorable little boy - but I don't want to see another "Malcom in the middle" sort of show with a little boy being bullied and I'm worried they will rewrite Sheldons background to make the show interesting.
btw, I put a little comment on the tweet and my phone is buzzing like hell since then Seems a lot of people agree. __________________

Thanks for opening the thread! I was thinking earlier today about how we'd probably need one.
I watched the 5 minute trailer, and it was better than my (very low) expectations. But it also doesn't feel like Sheldon. I saw one comment online that young Sheldon just comes across as gifted, without the specific quirks that make him Sheldon, and I agree. Like, there's the not holding hands thing, but it feels more like something he's choosing to do, rather than he's compelled, if that makes sense. __________________

I agree with Nicole. For now I don't plan to watch it, even the pilot.

I mean Iain is great but I also miss the Sheldon-vibe. And Jim narrating it, doesn't make it better. It's like Sheldon wrote his memoirs and someone is reading the audiobook. __________________

With all due respect, I hope this show will fall hard and fast.

Since I have not the slightest interest in Young Sheldon, I won't watch it.

(groan) I don't want to dislike anything connected to Big Bang or our characters, but this just reeks of all those unnecessary straight to video sequels Disney put out. (whisper) This is what we made fan fiction for.

My thoughts on the trailer is it's cute and if it was a standalone family show I'd probably watch it. But as a spinoff I'm just like...sorry it's not working.

I don't see they couldn't change Sheldon's background from all we know from the show. And I don't like this idea at all.

Here is a little clip from the upfronts, but I couldn't focus on what they said cause I was distracted with Iain clutching Jim's hand and Jim playing with his wedding ring https://www.instagram.com/p/BUQERlJgDp1/ __________________
