I love that Sheldon lets meemaw sit in his spot
Omg I just noticed that
Meemaw will shove Sheldon up Mary's clownhole then shove Mary up hers just to teach Shelly the pecking order if he ever tries his usual behaviour on her at her age.
YS Meemaw will be more forgiving.
His mom on season 1 also gets to sit there as well :)
he love her so much and she was so protective with him
Meemaw is Sheldon's favorite human.
This definitely feels like a much older and mellowed out Meemaw, but she has the same sass and sarcasm from Young Sheldon. The only difference is the appearance but 20 years can shrink and soften somebody.
She didn't have much sass against Sheldon though, like in one of the last episodes of Young Sheldon when he called her old over the phone and she hung up.
@@zupergurkanit’s probably because she mellowed out over the years in young Sheldon she only in like her 50s or 60s plus Sheldon is her youngest grandchild besides technically Missy also I think she was acting that way on purpose too but this was also before young Sheldon was even thought of so they probably just changed her younger self a bit
a thyroid condition could change Meemaw's appearance in that time also
Meanwhile Sheldon’s mom has gotten crankier and more like Annie Potts meemaw
Georgie said in his appearance late in TBBT's run that "everybody always protected Sheldon", so, it's plausible that Constance could have been putting on a "sweet old grandma" act around Sheldon after George passed, but once he's away, like at 1:22 and 1:46 to Amy, she totally changes, and it's not unlike YS Meemaw and how she was.
And anyway, after watching everything that happened to her in the last season of Young Sheldon, it kind of makes sense how almost 25 years down the line, in her 80's or 90's she'd seem completely different. She might have even been estranged from Mary like her other children (Charlene, Edward/"Stumpy" and Carl) by this time, sadly, since neither ever mentions or is seen with the other, and Connie wasn't even at the wedding, but Mary, Georgie and Missy were.
Let's face it: the only reason they cast her as Meemaw was because she got an Oscar nomination. The woman we see on 'Young Sheldon', though, was PERFECT.
Annie Potts....... a brilliant actress.
Young Sheldon wasn’t even a concept when this was filmed
Well obviously this is before young Sheldon they had to show a Meemaw that would appear older than the one in Young Sheldon so I don't understand what the problem with June Squibb playing Meemaw is ? She was quite good though
@@hsd287 I thought the same thing about them casting her to look older
@@hsd287 actually no this episode came out during the first season of young Sheldon so they could have Annie if they wanted I’ve always thought it was weird. They chose to completely change her character, especially since this came out during the first season of young Sheldon in 2017. It’s really really weird, especially since both shows the same creator
Unfortunately we’v been spoiled by the amazing performance of Annie Potts that it completely undid this entire storyline because this version of Meemaw is so much different than Annie Potts’ version
But this is years later after Meemaw has done her community service and been slowed down. 10-12 years later is a long time for an old person.
My Head Canon is he has onset dementia
@@BrutalCarnage good gravy that's sad...
God forbid that a character ages for sake of continuity..
@@barcelonachair6487 You mean 22 years. This version of Meemaw is 93, whereas she's 71 in the final season of YS.
The fact meemaw lived longer then george
I think it was out of pure spite lol
George died early
I think Sheldon said its his mother’s cooking
@@shanid7216She may have loved him and proud to call him her son. But he did try to steal her brisket recipe. Grudges can be held for a long time.
She was Mary Coopers mom so y wouldn't she live longer than George 😅
Annie Potts will always be MeeMaw
I mean she's actually old enough where she could have still played the MeeMaw of the current day, and gotten away with it..
❤
MeeMaw is 100 according to the TBBT and YS lore
Here after the Y.S. series finale
Annie Potts was the best actor in either YS or TBBT.
The switch she made on Amy was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Me: Wow this Memaw is WAY different than she is on Young Shel-
Memaw: Okay now let's get something straight here.
Me: There she is.
When George Sr.died Mary had a break down. Meemaw and Georgie had to take care of everyone. George death had a big impact on the family
Yeah, 2016 Meemaw may be acting like a sweet little octogenarian in front of Sheldon but I have no doubt she has a hidden itinerary of gambling, line dancing, and other mischief that Moonpie would never suspect.
Everyone saying she is better in YS, she acts the same for me, just changed physically due to her age and change of habits but is the same old crazy meemaw 😂
Until Sheldon leaves the room, I wouldn't be convinced. After though? I can definitely picture Annie Pots reading the exact same lines.
Meemaw in YS wouldn't have tissue in her sleeves, and would be way more chill
June Squibb was great, but there's only one Annie Potts.
@@AxelQC of course there is, she had more screen time to develop her character
@@naanyangdiariesnah that’s something I’d see her doing too
You know, if you think about the dialogue, it’s not that hard to imagine Annie Potts saying it. The two performances don’t marry perfectly, but it’s not as jarring as I remember.
Yes, except meemaw was never grandma soft. Annie Potts portrayal is like she will be tough right to her grave.
@apok1980 she might have soften because of George death or at least the events that happened afterwards
YS meemaw would know about Spiderman. She'd also be way more accommodating. But then Mary in TBBT is totally different as well
After watching the end of Young Sheldon, it makes sense, in a way, following the whole gambling room collapsing and her arrest, her house being destroyed in the tornado and moving back in with Dale, as well as George dying and Mary's aftermath, that she'd seem so different here, she would canonically be in her 80's or 90's. So, that may have something to do with it. The "sweet old grandma" thing may have even been just an act she put on around Sheldon because he's her "Moonpie", but once he's gone, she's the same old Connie. 1:22 is almost certainly the kind of thing YS Meemaw would have said, to Amy.
@@MsJubjubbird That Mary isnt that much of a change, it’s her daughter and I can kind of imagine Zoe Perry reading off her mother’s lines in TBBT
“You were so cute huffing and puffing”. LOL
The BEST line from him, and perfectly delivered!
There’s no way that Meemaw became that woman. Even with her harsh treatment of Amy, Connie is not, and never would be that “grandma-ish”. She was a beer drinking smoking, gambling woman who always did herself up, not this homely lady’s with butterscotch candy in her purse and tissue in her full length sleeves.
She still is like the memaw in young Sheldon.She drinks whiskey,tells people off ,still funny.but you’re forgetting that Shes almost 2 decades older then when we last saw her so she gonna be more like a stereotypical grandma
@ we will have to agree to disagree here. I’ve not forgotten how old she would be, and I base my retinue not on her appearance, but just the character as a whole. And although she does have some of the characteristics that make up the character of Connie Tucker, June Squibb, although a good actress whom I like, just doesn’t embody Connie Tucker as Annie Potts developed the character. In short, I just don’t buy June Squibb’s portrayal of a Native Texan.
@@michaelpiccolo4050 I do agree agree that Annie Potts did a muuuuuch better job
Community service and about a decade can change a person.
😂😂😂😂😂
I spit my drink reading this 🤣🤣🤣
"Community Service and About a Decade" would have been a cool episode title.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This. It's interesting to think that Constance, in her maybe 80's or 90's, would put on a "sweet old grandma" act around Sheldon (since, as Georgie said, everybody always protected him), because the way she talked to Amy once he was away at 1:22 is on-brand for YS Meemaw.
This is twenty years later, age changes people physically and mentally. You can’t expect her to be as sharp as she was back then. Having her be exactly the same as she was in YS wouldn’t make sense.
Why are people hating on Meemaw’s original actor? Of course this isn’t Annie Potts, this episode was filmed before Young Sheldon was even in development.
Honestly this version of Connie is much different from the Connie in Young Sheldon, the Connie in Young Sheldon wouldn’t spoil with him a train set
I think she would especially after everything that happened between season 6 of YS and season 1 of TBBT.
Connie was dealing with a Young Sheldon, this is Meemaw and Grown Sheldon.
No way, she did great here and that was meemaw in sheldon
She is getting ready to die.
Well, Sheldon is not a reliable witness and YS is Sheldon’s memorial.
The way YS portrayed Mee Maw is much better guess the writers were not thinking that far ahead
I can totally see the YS version of Meemaw in there when she turns mean on Amy though. XD
I can't see YS's Mee Maw behaving like that I would think she would have reacted more like Mary amazed that Sheldon has found someone and treated Amy the way she treated Mandy and said something like " Your mother told me but I had to see it for myself " I think YS Connie would have been comical throughout their first meeting
@@silver2therescue1 I was thinking the same!
@@MarcG7424this Memaw is 93 years old. Old people get mean sometimes.
@@visaman Those two Mee Maw's couldn't be any more different at least Mary is consistent
The fear in Amy's voice is great acting.
Bialik sucks.
Lol.
@BenE8844 Let me see you do better.
@@seraphim5681 Dude, she was never really funny on this show. the show is better without her, and also Amy just ruined the show.
Even better was the episode where Sheldon threatened to spank her.
I think this lady is the voice and same image as Butter’s abusive Grandma on South Park
It is the same actress.
Makes alot of sense her. Lol
😂 omg
Back in the day she was the grandma for every series I watched. If it wasn’t her then it was the woman from the golden girls.
@@1_star_reviewsBetty White?
This is 20 years (plus a few more) after the events of Young Sheldon, which tonight is the double episode finale.
I have my tissues ready.
@@carolbaker579ask her to do the tissue thing
@@MasterofMonkeys13 She's the mean MeeMaw
When she said i came here to size you up I was happy to hear meemaw from young sheldon for a bit
Clearly Annie Potts watched this episode before taking the role. The moment Sheldon is out of the room she drops the nice old lady act and is right back tot he sassy Texan widow we all love.
She was rude
@@marymcmahan5603 So was YS Memaw. What's your point?
@@marymcmahan5603Meemaw was a lot ruder in Young Sheldon
i only knew annie potts from DS as maryjo, so to me she was already a sharp southern woman who could handle her own, though her character was more the pushover compared to dixie carter's, but still the same charm
And you never will.....................LMFAO. I dont think Sheldon will dare to say something.
His giddiness at how his meemaw is a superhero dtill, is so good
I was wondering why I was getting so many TBBT videos in my feed and just found out about young Sheldon ending. Must remind myself to watch finale and then play catch up. I’m glad to have these TBBT videos right now, nice to have a good laugh when overwhelmed.
People really don’t seem to understand that this came out before the concept of Young Sheldon or even a tbbt spin off, and June Squibb was only going to be used for 1 episode while Annie Potts got over 100 episodes for development.
Also I can kinf of imagine Annie Potts reading off June Squibb’s lines here even if not all of them, people change over the course of 22 years (1994-2016€
When I was a little kid my Grandma was pretty easy-going and only stirred up trouble when it was really necessary to stand up for herself or someone else. By the time I was in my early teens and beyond she had become so consumed by politics and "the poor state of the world," plus she was alone a lot due to retirement and not getting involved in things. She really had nothing else to talk about after watching lots of news and listening to very charged up radio shows. Lots of family members pointed out how much she had changed in a short period of time after my grandpa passed. Loved her so much and still do though she's gone, but the point is that people can change in a really short period of time depending how life goes. I could see this being Mee Maw several years into the future being alone with her thoughts and stewing on if Sheldon will be truly loved for who he is by someone she's never met. Whether or not the Mee Maw of TBBT is how we envisioned Mee Maw from YS to end up years in the future, I don't think it's entirely inaccurate for her to be this way, especially given how her family started to fall apart in front of her after George's death.
Talk of Meemaw aside, seeing a grown man getting all fired up over a train set is nothing short of hysterical!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even though her behavior towards Amy seems toxic, after all she is just worried that she will not break his heart again. That's understandable...
Guys the lines are not out of character for MeeMaw its just the performance. If you imagine Annie Potts saying it fits perfectly. Its just the differencein acting performance.
People complaining it's different. Well it's been about what 20 years in the show? Sooo lets just assume it's natural she started to become a total grandmother unlike in young sheldon where she's in her "prime" days.
Same fashion sense, lmao!!
Even Sheldon, despite his different nature, loves his grandmom.
Annie Potts played her better in young Sheldon in my opinion
Same!
Agreed
This is before Young Sheldon and before Meemaw was well known
100%!
No question!
sheldon seems like a kid stuck in the past due to being traumatized at such a young age
MY GOAT MEEMAW RETURNS!!!!!!!!❗️❗️❗️❗️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥💥💥💥💥
I can hear these lines in Annie Potts' voice.
i love how meemaw also does the tissue thing during george's funeral
She's basically like butters mimaw. O goodness what a treat this is
Meemaw we saw in young Sheldon would've loved Amy
From watching young Sheldon Annie Potts and the actress playing meemaw on tbbt had a sass to her. That definitely showed in meemaw on young Sheldon and big bang
People be really living in this "world" rather than reality. 20 years has passed from young sheldon to TBBT, of course everyone changed including meemaw. My late grandmother was very strict and somewhat got attitude when I was still in college (I feared her at all) but when we got older 15 years later, she was almost 90 during that time, she became so sweet, nice and she's hardly strict anymore. Old people tend to mellow down. This is what happened with meemaw her in TBBT especially since Mary experience a great deal of depression after george died. People change. Remember that they experience a 360 life turn after george died and we didn't know the battles they had after sheldon left for college.
Young Sheldon wasn’t a thing yet when this episode aired it’s not that deep bruh
@@zacharymunson1105 but George still died anyway, regardless if YS was still not made at that time. So the point is totally valid and this was just to rebut the lots of people who keep saying she's different than YS meemaw.
So many people saying how Annie Potts played her better, no shit she had a thousand more appearances than this fleeting glimpse.
So much different than the Young Sheldon version. This seems like a typical grandmother
Love Sheldon's grandmother sit in his spot
This old woman is nothing like Annie Potts. It's like a corgi and an iguana.
I broke off an engagement once because her family was just like this. Always in our business and giving their opinions when their opinions aren't even asked for.
Beautiful smile.
That ain’t meemaw 🤣🤣🤣 unless meemaw had 6 strokes that ain’t her
Knowing how two of her other grandchildren had messed up relationships while Sheldon getting a successful one, it all makes sense now...
Meemaw really let her self go
Meemaw will never die....
They done nerfed meemaw😭🙏
This was before young Sheldon
Nah they buffed her, even tho this one looks cuter YS meemaw is the goat.
June Squibb is one of those actors who got later in life attention, shes still fantastic in her early 90s..
This is the type of meemaw I pictured when Sheldon talked about her; that said, I adore Annie Potts as meemaw in YS.
Yep in some families too. In my families the grandparents had the top judgments, then parents including step then us kids even if we're adults.
My theory is that this meemaw is George’s Mom.
I don’t think so. She called him Moonpie.
George's mom died long ago i think
I like this theory. Cuz she's way different.
She's George's mother-in-law. Watch "Young Sheldon" and you'll find out.
He meant that she is not the one from young sheldon but a different grandma from George's side@Bluenote.19
Annie Potts was the perfect MeeMaw.
How can Meemaw hate Amy?! Amy is very likeable! It's impossible to hate Amy!
She doesn’t. It’s revealed later on that she’s testing Amy.
She is probably protective of Sheldon and is worried he might not get along with her ofc
she's a jewwww
I disagree
amy is the exact opposite of likeable
It’s the woman who stole Gloria’s sauce in Modern Family!
Only his family able to sit on his spot awww
People are gonna say the meemaw in young sheldon and in here are different. Thats not true Meemaw hates mary for marrying george same thing as how protective she was on Sheldon LOL.
Bro meemaw has been putting on some pounds
Ugh, that's why he's how he's...
I will never ever accept this person as memaw.
Reminds me of my monster-in-law. But my husband never defended me. I can’t watch this without bad feelings towards a lot of people in my life.
Suck it up, princess.
just saw her again on the good doctor 3 years ago. she played quite a crafty patient
I hope we get another spin off that explains why Meemaw changed so much. the Annie Potts version was legendary. the older version not so much.
i'm a little surprise they didn't hire the same actors for Sheldon's family. Adults kinda still look the same for while but I'm fine with everyone's acting
Lets be real, the mee maw in young sheldon would have loved Amy 😅
Between her and Mary raising Sheldon and babying him to a pathologically unhealthy degree - the fact Sheldon is even alive is a crime against humanity
June Squibb was good as the first and older Meemaw (and Nebraska was a really good film and she was great in it) but in hindsight Annie Potts really made the character truly her own.
Ok, I do wish we had Annie Potts for the role of mew-maw here too, but I have to say, she has the attitude of mew-maw down right...
Sheldon was nice to let Meemaw sits in his spot, then Amy comes in to meet Meemaw😅😅😅😅
After ys i just want a show of amy and sheldon as parents. They move to a suburb, make new friends who call penny and Leonard instead of sheldons mom to get him to behave lol
It's funny because YS Connie would do anything to get Sheldon out of her hair. Guess she warmed up over the decades
Loved the firsts Mee Maw Annie Potts
TBBT FOREVER ❤😂
Protection is a meemaw’s first order of duty. Especially when it comes to a unique and vulnerable individual like Sheldon. He requires a certain Honor Guard to filter out the poisonous and undeserving. She will be the decider.
....okay...this not Mother in law vs their daughter in law ....but meemaw vs daughter in law 😂😂
Mee not
At 1:16 Are these things on the wall breakers? I've been wondering for years.
They should drop this from syndication line up, or reshoot with a CGI, AI assisted Annie Potts.
I remember one day watching my dad ride a bike and I was in my late 20s just had a kid. I remember telling my brother that my dad got soft and how he stopped training, became passive and just walks for health. It hit me that he was in the grandpa state of his life. He did soften up. Both my parents did. That happens
Crazy when you think Sheldon never lets anyone sit in his spot but then he lets his MeeMaw sit in it
"crazy?"
Nope.
Wrong word to use.
if you are not willing to give your best to granny then thats a YOU problem^^
Yep that's how much he loves her ❤
He also let his mother sit in his spot.
Oh…that show!
I remember when I first watched the scene on TH-cam…
YS Meemaw wouldn’t have done the tissue thing and would have loved Amy from the get go!
Connie
Wasn't she also the older lady that Called George's pager and made him do all these chores and at the end had a really cute granddaughter
No. I watched both the clips. They look similar. But they have different voices. They're not the same
Obviously is going to look different you are comparing 60+ years old Meemaw and near 90 years old Meemaw Also I love how in 0:42 Sheldon find he made a mistake and try to let it go fast. Really being surrounded by more people teach him more about human reactions.
Who is this woman, and what has she done with Connie Tucker?!
This grandma I hated the one in young sheldon is much better
To the people in the comments complaining about the difference in performance. How the young Sheldon actress is better.
How daft are you. Like from a scale of 1 to ignorant the answer is ignorance.
Meemaw in tbbt only had 1 episode. This aired much earlier before the idea of a young Sheldon show came to be.
Memaw played by Annie . Had multiple seasons to make the character her own and you can see the rough caring nature of the character in both interpretations. Annie was probably shown the episode to study and was given the liberty to make her own take to show a much more energetic and younger Meemaw.
The difference in height can be played of in A 20 year difference. Old people do get shorter and loose mass.
Jesus Christ people these days will complain about the most pointless details.
Respect both actresses.
Amen! She's hilarious and did a good job for 1 episode! Now she is geriatric, much older than the character on Young Sheldon
Respect both actresses (or actors as is the now preferred term) -- I think that is your great point -- personally, I think June Squibb is wonderful and was great in this scene
I cant belive Memaw is stil alive
My grandma also keeps tissues up her sleeve!
June Squibb 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
She’s like Butters’ grandma
Amy never stood a chance
Hey Sheldon Amy
Annie pots will always be rhetorical best and savage meemaw ever no one compares to her ❤
