Yep I’m pretty sure that Georgie was the only Cooper who didn’t appear on The Big Bang Theory prior to the airing of Young Sheldon; Meemaw, Mary and Missy all appeared on TBBT before their younger selves were cast on Young Sheldon, even George Sr’s actor appeared as a different character!
@@rizzlybear1455I agree with you. I was pleasantly impressed surprised to learn that the younger version of Mary is Laurie Metcalf’s real-life daughter Zoe Perry.
Georgie is for my favourite on Young Sheldon, he’s the one who probably made his father the proudest in heaven right now over what he accomplished and sacrificed for the family.
I always felt that Georgie was the true main protagonist of the Young Sheldon since, most of episodes centres more on him, his relationship with his father, dropping out of College and life with Mandy
I don’t know I’m sure George Senior was proud of Sheldon too the way he always supported Sheldon love for science even if he didn’t quite understand it all
The fact that Sheldon doesn’t even TRY to downplay Georgie’s knowledge of tires is a bit wholesome. He believes him and even comments that he appreciates it
3:32. In Sheldons defense. No one told him. Explicitly, by George's own admission, they explicitly hid how things were from him. Given how they know he's bad at picking up subtle hints, it's no surprise that if they pretended everything was perfectly fine without him, then that's exactly what he would think.
Yeah that's why I don't get when fans of the show hate on Sheldon , he's not mentally able to pickup on when things are wrong or when he's being a dick to people
They didn’t tell him because I’m one episode of Young Sheldon the dean of his college calls Mary to complain for Sheldon of Sam asset to the university and the problems at home were affecting him
Probably cause they knew he couldn't handle it even if they did . Also it was happening all around him but he never cared to notice .. if it didn't help him he didn't care .
It pissed me off honestly as someone who is also ND. Yeah sheldon is a prick at times, but this one is not his fault! It's like someone who is tone deaf to sing the right note without a piano, not his fault he can't!
Their past selves really reflected to their future, young missy was always ignored, and with their father dead and not enough attention from her mother she turned to a wreck when she was growing up. Drinking, drugs(unsure) and pregnancy. Georgie back then was already entrepreneural which resulted in his multimillion dollar tire company and sheldon, nothing really change hes still sheldon
But in Young Sheldon what I saw that George Sr. is a caring and responsible father not like a beat up, irresponsible, alcoholic like what Sheldon said in Big Bang Theory. And what Mary and Meemaw did make Sheldon became like a selfish jerk to his family.
@@redson8441 The writers did say that the vision sheldon had of his father wasnt really the most accurate one, and that sheldon begins to understand his father better by the end of the series
Isabela Semino I think the writers said that to make Sheldon less being a selfish jerk to his family members like his dad, his sister and his big brother. If they didn’t tell that, it would make Sheldon became a bigger jerk that he already was in Big Bang Theory.
That scene at the end really opens things up for Young Sheldon. Sheldon has one view of how things were back then and Georgie tells him how things really were. If there are differences in what happens in Young Sheldon as opposed to what is said to have happened in TBBT.. its just because Sheldon has a different view of what happened. He was a very self-centered individual.
I hope at the end of Young Sheldon, adult Sheldon's voice-over will finally acknowledge how later he came to know he was wrong in his views on many things, and that his dad wasn't as bad as he thought etc.
@@megsie1424 to be fair, sheldon never said in TBBT that his father was necessarily a bad person. he just said that his parents fought a lot and he caught his father having an affair (which would obviously upset him). he never really said that his father was mean to him, only that he didn't have anything in common with him and george often tried to teach sheldon thing likes football and how to shoot.
Kids are self centered. They don’t even have the ability to really see the world outside themselves until 7-9 years old. They don’t have an inner voice until 6-8.
The fact Georgie had to step up and manage his family after their dad died, WHILE taking care of an infant daughter, WITHOUT a high school degree is a greater accomplishment than anything Sheldon ever did.
@@SurrealKangaroo12 Agreed, 5'5" is pretty short. Tom Cruise is 5'7" and people comment on how he is short. It's odd tho-- Galecki never comes across as that short on TBBT to me. He was my favorite actor and character on the show.
I love that, while the younger versions of Sheldon and Missy had to practice the adult version's performances, Georgie was following the actor's mannerisms in "Young Sheldon". And he did it well! Jerry O' Connell was perfect!
It goes back to a very old wonderful saying..."things are rough all over." Modern folk see that as a rude and uncaring remark. Less modern people understand that it means you know your own problems best so solve them for yourself because we have stuff to deal with too.
I really don't see how life has been hard for Sheldon. He was pampered and given everything he wanted as a child. In education, he never had to work or take out student loans for college as he got a free ride. He went to Spain as a visiting instructor at age 15 (and George wasn't dead yet, based on the story he told Penny in a TBBT episode), then got his PhD, probably on a free ride there as well, and went to work at CalTech. Even as an adult, he demands all the attention from his friends, as well as demanding that the cater to his every need, i.e. driving him every where, adhering to his bathroom schedule, eating specific food on specific days etc. And after all that, he wins the Nobel prize with Amy. Doesn't sound like a hard life to me.
@@rocketmom60 well his live's been hard because his family made him unable to deal with it. as unbearable of a person he is, all the phobias and rules etc. he follows are genuine and real, and they never made him work on them.
I found it a bit funny but also a but sad. He doesn't want to to call him George because, not only does he hate change, but he hates to call Georgie George when that has his father's name (obviously makes him a junior as we all know), and thinks it would be disrespectful to their father. He doesn't feel comfortable because it also feels like a more mature Georgie would take away the memory he had with his father.
Leonard: "I'm here for... for no reason." George: "Lemme guess. He wanted something, you said 'no,' but he kept buggin' ya until ya got tired of it?" Leonard: "Yeah, pretty much." George: (nods) "Been there, done that."
See, this is the problem about siblings (and people in general actually). It's unnecessary to compare them. When you got kids you don't have to point out things like this. They're both doing what they are passionate at and that's what matters.
Highly disagree, Nobel prize is worth so much more than just the monetary value. Sheldon contributed to society way more than another tire company, no matter how much it is worth.
Intrigued to see how Young Sheldon spins of George cheating on Marry. So far he is delight despite his shortcomings like all the other characters. A good dad.
Also when he shoots the tv. I alway tought it was an accident, putting a gun down and fires it self or sheldon sees action movies Georgy or George throws something at the tv, sheldon hears it and thinks is a bullet, George doesnt want Mery to know so he never corrects him and just buys another tv
@@mrhutchblackdog4636 Which episode was that? I have no recollection of it happening in YS. In fact there is no indication the Cooper's even own a gun. If it was in TBBT, we all know that Sheldon's relationship with the truth about his father is a distant one at best. He always had disdain for his father so it is unlikely that changed after his death.
Same goes when Penny calls Sheldon ‘Moon-Pie’... only his Mee-maw calls him that, but this is much more honorable and meaningful, it is their Dad’s name Georgie carries on now.
What I love is that during the show it’s a recurring theme of the characters learning and dealing with Sheldon’s personality good and bad.. when Sheldon said, “I guess didn’t think of how it was for everyone else”, and Georgie said “it’s alright, I know you didn’t”, it really gives depth of the knowledge his family has of him and what the dealt with him growing up.. just that one sentence carries so much inference and information
I can relate a lot with this scene, I'm the older brother and always was the golden child with excellent grades while my younger brother always failed at school. When we grew up I won a scholarship and moved to Spain to study in a private university while my brother stayed in Perú and went to community college, I never understood why he always seemed angry and distand with me but one day I confronted him and he made me understand that while I was busting my ass studying in Spain he was busting his ass working in Perú to provide for the family, he took care of our mom when she was ill and became the man of the house, I've always acted like life was easier for him but it was not. It tourned out we both became engineers, I got a job pretty quickly in a big company but never got promoted while my brother was being constantly promoted and became more succesful than me, I spent to much time being a bookworm while my brother got out to the real world and learned from the streets, now I am trying to learn from his experience and we are very close
It would have been interesting to see Georgie spend some more time with them, and figure out that Leonard is George/Georgie/Tam, and Penny is Mary/Meemaw/Missy.
I disagree on the Georgie front. Georgie is one of the few guys I've seen in canon that doesn't let Sheldon push him around. Leonard has never put up a fight against Sheldon. Though I guess you could say Leonard is like George in the sense that Leonard does at times try to understand Sheldon and make him feel better. The Leonard being like Tam thing makes me roll my eyes. Sheldon's relationship with Tam is not as developed as it is with Leonard and if anything Tam seems like the guy who just hung out with resident child genius because he had no where else to go whereas Leonard is the one that lets Sheldon hang out with him because he knows Sheldon has nobody, he's alone; plus Leonard owed him for having his back. Tam's "suffering" under Sheldon is also never shown in Young Sheldon, and the only instance we see is Tam bemoaning his family situation and wanting to marry a blonde woman to fix the emptiness in his heart, in that sense he's a Leonard carbon-copy. But Sheldon's relationship with Leonard is much deeper or at least developed than Tam's.
@@fatimaquddus2823, you're right that Leonard never defined the boundaries of his relationship with Sheldon. But that's because Dr. Beverly Hofstadter broke him long ago. It's a shame we never met Leonard's brother & sister. It would have been interesting to meet them. Both of them were more accomplished than Leonard was, but when Beverly was told by Howard Wolowitz, "You must be very proud", Beverly replied flatly, "Why? They're not my accomplishments." Beverly spoke of them so infrequently, and talked of Leonard more, even though she wasn't impressed by him until he married Penny Teller. Beverly was impressed Leonard married so well. She subjected Leonard to psychological experiments and humiliated him by publishing books about him without his consent. Imagine life for his siblings. All that achievement and so little appreciation from their mother, who focuses only on Leonard, and only then to make his life miserable. Leonard's Sheldon in reverse. Sheldon's mother doted on him more than anyone and neglected her other children, particularly Missy.
0:56 In other words, "So nothing's changed. You still expect everyone around you to drop whatever else they're doing and put your needs first. Well, not this time."
When I watched this scene again after watching Young Sheldon, I realized how good georgie's character development was. Georgie is one of my favorite characters in Young Sheldon.
I just realized that Georgie said they hadn’t talked in 10 years. They really could use that as a spin-off of Young Sheldon with just Georgie, Missy, Meemaw and the Mom.
I appreciate seeing Georgie is not written as the stereotypical "loser" brother to the sibling prodigy because that's often what's implied during the show's run. He took what smarts he had and became his own version of successful.
The biggest issue is the fact that no one ever told Sheldon anything. He was a young genius and had to move and grow up super fast and never even developed most social skills, even as an adult they never told him anything that went wrong until now. As smart as he was, if he knew his family was a mess he definitely could’ve done something.
What is incredibly interesting as context is that while George was trying to look after Mary and Missy, he was also a fairly recent father. Probably early in his marriage to who I'm going to assume as of the most recent Young Sheldon episode was Mandy. George Sr's death is almost certainly why George's relationships started going wrong.
And now we know that since he's going to become a father things have been tough for him, with George death and Sheldon going to college Georgie Took care of his child, Mandy, his mom, his sister and his grandma all by himself that's all of pressure on him he's right it hasn't been easy for everybody
In TOS Georgie had no kids, so as usual there is no continuity between series when it comes to "Family situations" Such as here Sheldon did not go off to College until after his father died so says Georgie.
@@toddstevens13 The whole timeline for Sheldon going to college and George dying is a bit hinkey. In Season 1 episode 11 TBBT, Sheldon says he was in Spain at age 15 and Mary had to leave him there and go home to help George repair their storm damaged home. So George may not have died at Sheldon's age 14.
Eventhough sheldon was never confirmed autistic, I know what it's like to have a sibling turn caregiver. I was visiting my old highschool when I overheard my sister say " you dont know her. My sister was bullied for years and she never was the same. She cant help being different." It took all I could not to cry. How my little sister lied on the floor next to me during a scary meltdown until my mother got there. How she threatened my fiance should he ever hurt me . I am about to be in sheldon's shoes when I get married this year and my "georgie" is going to be right there like she always is.
Sheldon was tested as a child in texas and told he wasn't crazy. So he was tested in the 80's/early 90's when mental health awareness was even worse? Sheldon got tested once and keeps falling back on that as a defense because he know's he's not typical.
It’s so different watching this after watching Young Sheldon. Their young characters are so parallel to the original older characters that it feels like I’m watching their whole life. 😂 They have the same dynamic, it feels so realistic.
So Georgie took care of his mother and sister, but also of his child and Mandy, and later he managed to open a tire store, that requires guts, respect to Georgie
I didn't like this show, but this was one of the very few scenes that showed heartfelt sincerity between the two brothers. It finally made Sheldon realize the he has to consider other people's feelings, beside himself.
Um... One of like 3 scenes they have together in 12 years. Or do you mean heartfelt sincerity between Sheldon and anyone? Because we get about 1 a season.
really shocked how Leonard was willing to be his roommate in addition to him getting hired to work at a university. Sheldon is not even great with kids, and he was terrible at teaching a physics class for one day.
Not only did George take care of his mom and sister but also his own kid, if his baby mama let him stay a part of their family. He's the most responsible out of the lot of them
this scene hits so hard if u watched Young Sheldon, this is amazing im glad Georgie cleared everything and Sheldon understood. (Poor Georgie too, he was only a kid when he had to take care of his mother, teenager sister, his wife, his baby daughter and the tire business, IM SO SO HAPPY EVERYTHING TURNED OUT OKAY FOR HIM, he's an example of a responsable man)
I see alot myself in Georgie, eldest of 3 and I unfortunately had to become the man of the house at 19, taking on all the responsibility that my parents should've, had to drop my college plans to cleanup the mess my parents caused. My younger siblings were kept away from the mess, and like sheldon didn't appreciate me.
Same kind of boat. 12-18 I had to raise the kids while dad worked out of town for 3 months at a time and mom worked 12 hour shifts at the hospital an hour away (14 hour days for her). One brother absulutly despises me. One is finally starting to open up to me. My sister and I get along great.
Notice how young Georgie always said "stupid brother" or "my dumba** brother". But the mature and adult Georgie finally said BABY BROTHER really melt my heart. 🥺 That's I love watching the late season of young sheldon because of Georgie's great character development.
Georgie sed at 2:45 "u went away 2 college after dad died". Now season 3 finale of young sheldon shows that hes going 2 college. So does this mean were gonna witness george die on season 4??? Oh my goodness.....
Well there was 1 year where Sheldon was abroad studying and there was a tornado and their house's roof caved in on his dad and his mom had to stay behind even though Sheldon got sick
@@delilah567 i rememberer in the Thanksgiving episode Sheldon told Bernadette’s dad that he never had a beer with his father despite his father trying to give one to him at his high school graduation. But he was 11 and his mother wouldn’t allow it. He also told Bernadette’s dad that his father died when he was 14.
In my culture we measure success by the amount of good influence you have on your surroundings, by that measure Georgy grew up to be the most successful one of the 3.
Been binge-watching Young Sheldon recently, and watching this scene again, regardless of the added laughter sounds in the background, makes it even sadder to know that Sheldon and Georgie haven't spoken in 10years.
Considering the fact that in Young Sheldon we’ve seen that Georgie has a kid of his own around the time his dad dies the fact that George took care of everything on his own is that much more meaningful Georgie REALLY stepped up
I truly hope we get to see this dynamic of George having to take care of the family while Sheldon is oblivious to it all in the coming seasons of Young Sheldon
You know I'm actually curious if he actually had to take care of the family or if Marry let him believe he was to help him cope with his loss. Its entirely possible that Georgie decided he had to be the man of the house and insisted on taking care of everything since that's what he was raised to believe men do.
Georgie turned out to be the most responsible and successful one.

Their past selves really reflected to their future, young missy was always ignored, and with their father dead and not enough attention from her mother she turned to a wreck when she was growing up. Drinking, drugs(unsure) and pregnancy. Georgie back then was already entrepreneural which resulted in his multimillion dollar tire company and sheldon, nothing really change hes still sheldon
But in Young Sheldon what I saw that George Sr. is a caring and responsible father not like a beat up, irresponsible, alcoholic like what Sheldon said in Big Bang Theory. And what Mary and Meemaw did make Sheldon became like a selfish jerk to his family.
@@redson8441 The writers did say that the vision sheldon had of his father wasnt really the most accurate one, and that sheldon begins to understand his father better by the end of the series
Isabela Semino I think the writers said that to make Sheldon less being a selfish jerk to his family members like his dad, his sister and his big brother. If they didn’t tell that, it would make Sheldon became a bigger jerk that he already was in Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon was serious, meaning that he would grow up to be a man child.

That scene at the end really opens things up for Young Sheldon. Sheldon has one view of how things were back then and Georgie tells him how things really were. If there are differences in what happens in Young Sheldon as opposed to what is said to have happened in TBBT.. its just because Sheldon has a different view of what happened. He was a very self-centered individual.
he was also a kid...kids often have very different interpretation of what is going on than adults do.
I hope at the end of Young Sheldon, adult Sheldon's voice-over will finally acknowledge how later he came to know he was wrong in his views on many things, and that his dad wasn't as bad as he thought etc.
@@megsie1424 to be fair, sheldon never said in TBBT that his father was necessarily a bad person. he just said that his parents fought a lot and he caught his father having an affair (which would obviously upset him). he never really said that his father was mean to him, only that he didn't have anything in common with him and george often tried to teach sheldon thing likes football and how to shoot.
Kids are self centered. They don’t even have the ability to really see the world outside themselves until 7-9 years old. They don’t have an inner voice until 6-8.
@@haleywood8040there are many empathetic and broken kids out there too.
The fact Georgie had to step up and manage his family after their dad died, WHILE taking care of an infant daughter, WITHOUT a high school degree is a greater accomplishment than anything Sheldon ever did.
Right and made a very successful business out of it
This cooper siblings are so tall !!
Yeah but Leonard is also short so...
Leonard is just short.
They are.
Jim Parsons is 6'1" and Jerry O'Connell is 6'2"
@@SurrealKangaroo12 Agreed, 5'5" is pretty short. Tom Cruise is 5'7" and people comment on how he is short. It's odd tho-- Galecki never comes across as that short on TBBT to me.
He was my favorite actor and character on the show.
I love that, while the younger versions of Sheldon and Missy had to practice the adult version's performances, Georgie was following the actor's mannerisms in "Young Sheldon". And he did it well! Jerry O' Connell was perfect!
Are you saying the Georgia in tbbt is following what the Georgie in young sheldon is doing ?
@@jimmygoodrich9590Yeah this came out after Young Sheldon
@@thebobbrom7176wiat tbbt was still on air while young sheldon started?
@@YoavShakedyes the shows were airing together for a few seasons, there was even a crossover with young Sheldon appearing in TBBT
@@thebobbrom7176 Interesting fact! I didn't knew that.
Georgie is a genius when it comes to business and really a street smart. Just finished watching Young Sheldon Season 1-3 and realized how great he is.
It's so pathetically common and awfully overrated
What does that make you then?
This hurts so much more now after watching s7 ep12 😓
Watching this after George's death kinda hits different, damn the pressure and responsibilities on Georgie
One of the excellent lines of the show"Life is been hard for you that don't mean it was easy for rest of us😭"
It goes back to a very old wonderful saying..."things are rough all over."
Modern folk see that as a rude and uncaring remark. Less modern people understand that it means you know your own problems best so solve them for yourself because we have stuff to deal with too.
I really don't see how life has been hard for Sheldon. He was pampered and given everything he wanted as a child. In education, he never had to work or take out student loans for college as he got a free ride. He went to Spain as a visiting instructor at age 15 (and George wasn't dead yet, based on the story he told Penny in a TBBT episode), then got his PhD, probably on a free ride there as well, and went to work at CalTech. Even as an adult, he demands all the attention from his friends, as well as demanding that the cater to his every need, i.e. driving him every where, adhering to his bathroom schedule, eating specific food on specific days etc. And after all that, he wins the Nobel prize with Amy. Doesn't sound like a hard life to me.
@@rocketmom60 well his live's been hard because his family made him unable to deal with it. as unbearable of a person he is, all the phobias and rules etc. he follows are genuine and real, and they never made him work on them.
Yeah you mean the famous manipulative gaslighting line shitty humans always use.
Because I was protecting you too!!!...I cried when Georgie said to Sheldon😢😢😢
Yes
Yes
The fought a lot just like the normal siblings do… but in the end they will always have eAch other😭😭😭
same here lol
They picked the best young Georgie and grown up georgie
"Georgie..."
"George."
"HMMMM" groans
Gets me all the time
I found it a bit funny but also a but sad. He doesn't want to to call him George because, not only does he hate change, but he hates to call Georgie George when that has his father's name (obviously makes him a junior as we all know), and thinks it would be disrespectful to their father. He doesn't feel comfortable because it also feels like a more mature Georgie would take away the memory he had with his father.
Leonard: "I'm here for... for no reason."
George: "Lemme guess. He wanted something, you said 'no,' but he kept buggin' ya until ya got tired of it?"
Leonard: "Yeah, pretty much."
George: (nods) "Been there, done that."
"Mom was a mess. Missy was a dumb teenager. I had to look after both of them."
This hurts so much more after seeing George's death in Young Sheldon
Who else is watching this after Young Sheldon’s recent episode?
Me
Sheldon may have a Noble Prize, but George owns a multi million dollar business.
Sheldon’s mom is the one who needs brain testing and change of heart.
See, this is the problem about siblings (and people in general actually). It's unnecessary to compare them. When you got kids you don't have to point out things like this. They're both doing what they are passionate at and that's what matters.
Both are millionaires. One's through science and the other's through sales n people skills.
@@sersastark yeah
Yeah describes her other two children as being dumb as soup. There is no way someone who is dumb as soup built a successful business.
Highly disagree, Nobel prize is worth so much more than just the monetary value. Sheldon contributed to society way more than another tire company, no matter how much it is worth.
The cast of Young Sheldon is absolutely perfectly matched to TBBT
Except for Meemaw. I think they really missed it with her.
June Squibb looks like an older Annie Potts maybe between Young Sheldon and TBBT Meemaw gave up drinking,gambling, and womanizing men
What happened to Mandy?
Not for Mary.
In this episode they actually had to match TBBT to young sheldon. This episode came out roughly 8 months after Young Sheldon aired
Intrigued to see how Young Sheldon spins of George cheating on Marry. So far he is delight despite his shortcomings like all the other characters. A good dad.
Also when he shoots the tv. I alway tought it was an accident, putting a gun down and fires it self or sheldon sees action movies Georgy or George throws something at the tv, sheldon hears it and thinks is a bullet, George doesnt want Mery to know so he never corrects him and just buys another tv
@@mrhutchblackdog4636 is g
Eveyone seems to forget that George basically caught the wifey with the Kids Pastor on more then one occasion .
@@mrhutchblackdog4636 Which episode was that? I have no recollection of it happening in YS. In fact there is no indication the Cooper's even own a gun. If it was in TBBT, we all know that Sheldon's relationship with the truth about his father is a distant one at best. He always had disdain for his father so it is unlikely that changed after his death.
I wouldn’t say he was a good dad, but he tried.
I like leonard delivering that last punchline "is it me or we just patched a tire"
Didn't you hear him? Never patch! Buy new!
@@llarmstrong783Do you even listen?
I think of all of the scenes with Sheldon’s relatives this one was the most emotional. The most powerful
So does Sheldon not like being asked to call Georgie "George" because he just doesn't like change, or because he associates "George" with his father?
@RedDeadOrAlive Both questions have the same affirmative answer.
He doesn’t like calling his brother George bc it reminds him of his father
Same goes when Penny calls Sheldon ‘Moon-Pie’... only his Mee-maw calls him that, but this is much more honorable and meaningful, it is their Dad’s name Georgie carries on now.
It think it’s because Sheldon doesn’t like change. He is used to referring to his brother as Georgie so changing it to George seems strange to him.
Yes
Who’s here after George’s death? (Young Sheldon)
Yes, after seeing George's death in YS, this scene is so much more meaningful.
All of us.
What I love is that during the show it’s a recurring theme of the characters learning and dealing with Sheldon’s personality good and bad.. when Sheldon said, “I guess didn’t think of how it was for everyone else”, and Georgie said “it’s alright, I know you didn’t”, it really gives depth of the knowledge his family has of him and what the dealt with him growing up.. just that one sentence carries so much inference and information
Georgie would've hit on Penny if she walked in with the guys
That's exactly what I thought...Weird right? 😂
@@zachferrara6955 but again she might remind him of Missy so maybe not
Or penny might've hitted on him
So? He was extroverted but not a sleezeball. Pretty good BF in Young Sheldon.
Isn't he married (or at least taken) tho?
I can relate a lot with this scene, I'm the older brother and always was the golden child with excellent grades while my younger brother always failed at school. When we grew up I won a scholarship and moved to Spain to study in a private university while my brother stayed in Perú and went to community college, I never understood why he always seemed angry and distand with me but one day I confronted him and he made me understand that while I was busting my ass studying in Spain he was busting his ass working in Perú to provide for the family, he took care of our mom when she was ill and became the man of the house, I've always acted like life was easier for him but it was not. It tourned out we both became engineers, I got a job pretty quickly in a big company but never got promoted while my brother was being constantly promoted and became more succesful than me, I spent to much time being a bookworm while my brother got out to the real world and learned from the streets, now I am trying to learn from his experience and we are very close
I'm glad you came to understand each other.
Awwww happy endings. Glad you guys are better 😢😢
Same here. Big fights strengthen the sibling bond.
This is a tv show why are you having a cry about your life here lol
@@ziontheman637 its allowed thats why. Last I saw, you dont set the rules here.
It would have been interesting to see Georgie spend some more time with them, and figure out that Leonard is George/Georgie/Tam, and Penny is Mary/Meemaw/Missy.
I disagree on the Georgie front. Georgie is one of the few guys I've seen in canon that doesn't let Sheldon push him around. Leonard has never put up a fight against Sheldon. Though I guess you could say Leonard is like George in the sense that Leonard does at times try to understand Sheldon and make him feel better. The Leonard being like Tam thing makes me roll my eyes. Sheldon's relationship with Tam is not as developed as it is with Leonard and if anything Tam seems like the guy who just hung out with resident child genius because he had no where else to go whereas Leonard is the one that lets Sheldon hang out with him because he knows Sheldon has nobody, he's alone; plus Leonard owed him for having his back. Tam's "suffering" under Sheldon is also never shown in Young Sheldon, and the only instance we see is Tam bemoaning his family situation and wanting to marry a blonde woman to fix the emptiness in his heart, in that sense he's a Leonard carbon-copy. But Sheldon's relationship with Leonard is much deeper or at least developed than Tam's.
@@fatimaquddus2823, you're right that Leonard never defined the boundaries of his relationship with Sheldon. But that's because Dr. Beverly Hofstadter broke him long ago. It's a shame we never met Leonard's brother & sister. It would have been interesting to meet them. Both of them were more accomplished than Leonard was, but when Beverly was told by Howard Wolowitz, "You must be very proud", Beverly replied flatly, "Why? They're not my accomplishments." Beverly spoke of them so infrequently, and talked of Leonard more, even though she wasn't impressed by him until he married Penny Teller. Beverly was impressed Leonard married so well. She subjected Leonard to psychological experiments and humiliated him by publishing books about him without his consent. Imagine life for his siblings. All that achievement and so little appreciation from their mother, who focuses only on Leonard, and only then to make his life miserable. Leonard's Sheldon in reverse. Sheldon's mother doted on him more than anyone and neglected her other children, particularly Missy.
0:56 In other words, "So nothing's changed. You still expect everyone around you to drop whatever else they're doing and put your needs first. Well, not this time."
When I watched this scene again after watching Young Sheldon, I realized how good georgie's character development was. Georgie is one of my favorite characters in Young Sheldon.
This scene truly explains how much Georgie actually loves and cares about his younger brother Sheldon. It's so heartwarming.
I just realized that Georgie said they hadn’t talked in 10 years. They really could use that as a spin-off of Young Sheldon with just Georgie, Missy, Meemaw and the Mom.
I'd watch!😂
Meemaw technically doesn’t live with them, but I guess across the house, yes.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast, and since Meemaw just lost her home to a tornado, that might just change.
@@r.c.auclair2042 I didn’t get that far yet in the show. I am only in season 4.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast, I understand. You're in for fun when you get to the later seasons.
I appreciate seeing Georgie is not written as the stereotypical "loser" brother to the sibling prodigy because that's often what's implied during the show's run. He took what smarts he had and became his own version of successful.
Even better since Georgie was always portrayed as a money man in Young Sheldon.
Jerry O'Connell did a great job playing the older version of Georgie.
With one exception. He is as tall as Jim Parsons, while in Young Sheldon, it's obvious that Georgie is never going to be that tall.
@@johnjones5354 you never know cause their dad is 6’2, and late growth spurts happen
The biggest issue is the fact that no one ever told Sheldon anything. He was a young genius and had to move and grow up super fast and never even developed most social skills, even as an adult they never told him anything that went wrong until now. As smart as he was, if he knew his family was a mess he definitely could’ve done something.
I agree like they are mad at him for not knowing but they never told him to protect him. Like do they want him to know or not.
What is incredibly interesting as context is that while George was trying to look after Mary and Missy, he was also a fairly recent father. Probably early in his marriage to who I'm going to assume as of the most recent Young Sheldon episode was Mandy. George Sr's death is almost certainly why George's relationships started going wrong.
To be fair to Georgie, we don't know how long his marriages were to Mandy or his second wife. I do agree with the rest though
And now we know that since he's going to become a father things have been tough for him, with George death and Sheldon going to college Georgie Took care of his child, Mandy, his mom, his sister and his grandma all by himself that's all of pressure on him he's right it hasn't been easy for everybody
In TOS Georgie had no kids, so as usual there is no continuity between series when it comes to "Family situations" Such as here Sheldon did not go off to College until after his father died so says Georgie.
@@toddstevens13 The whole timeline for Sheldon going to college and George dying is a bit hinkey. In Season 1 episode 11 TBBT, Sheldon says he was in Spain at age 15 and Mary had to leave him there and go home to help George repair their storm damaged home. So George may not have died at Sheldon's age 14.
I think Mandy had a job and his grandma was able to handle herself.
after tonight this conversation hits way harder
Anyone here after the Young Sheldon finale?
yup
3:50 Who’s here to hear Georgie say “I wouldn’t miss it” after Young Sheldon season 7 episode 12?
4:00 that Georgie's nod when Sheldon says "do you even listen." 😂
Eventhough sheldon was never confirmed autistic, I know what it's like to have a sibling turn caregiver. I was visiting my old highschool when I overheard my sister say " you dont know her. My sister was bullied for years and she never was the same. She cant help being different." It took all I could not to cry. How my little sister lied on the floor next to me during a scary meltdown until my mother got there. How she threatened my fiance should he ever hurt me . I am about to be in sheldon's shoes when I get married this year and my "georgie" is going to be right there like she always is.
Sheldon was tested as a child in texas and told he wasn't crazy. So he was tested in the 80's/early 90's when mental health awareness was even worse?
Sheldon got tested once and keeps falling back on that as a defense because he know's he's not typical.
Sheldon is on the scale.
2:41 I love how they both tell Leonard to "Shut up and stay out of it!" Although he didn't deserve that
I really enjoy how the young sheldon series makes georgie deeper and makes this scene even deeper and more special and meaningful
I was always so proud of sheldon when he apologised because it was generally sincere
This scene means so much more after George's death in Young Sheldon. I anticipate the finale.
It’s so different watching this after watching Young Sheldon. Their young characters are so parallel to the original older characters that it feels like I’m watching their whole life. 😂 They have the same dynamic, it feels so realistic.
So Georgie took care of his mother and sister, but also of his child and Mandy, and later he managed to open a tire store, that requires guts, respect to Georgie
Georgie just tugged my heart, he worked hard rn in young sheldon, did good at it and became this successful
Mandy's English lessons worked, Georgie speaks English correctly.
George turned out to be an amazing big brother. It was heartwarming when George told him the truth, made me realize I am happy I have great siblings
The scene is very touching
after watching young sheldon dad passed this made me shed a tear.
Rewatching this scene after Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 12 😭
I didn't like this show, but this was one of the very few scenes that showed heartfelt sincerity between the two brothers. It finally made Sheldon realize the he has to consider other people's feelings, beside himself.
Um... One of like 3 scenes they have together in 12 years. Or do you mean heartfelt sincerity between Sheldon and anyone? Because we get about 1 a season.
@@kyleellis1825: Pretty much Sheldon with anyone. This was a little special because it was his brother.
really shocked how Leonard was willing to be his roommate in addition to him getting hired to work at a university. Sheldon is not even great with kids, and he was terrible at teaching a physics class for one day.
That grunt when Sheldon says “Georgie” and Georgie says “George” is literally the silent funniest moment of the scene to see Sheldon react like that
Not only did George take care of his mom and sister but also his own kid, if his baby mama let him stay a part of their family. He's the most responsible out of the lot of them
He did end up with two ex-wives (who were both still on good enough terms with Georgie's family that they texted Sheldon about his Nobel win).
this scene hits so hard if u watched Young Sheldon, this is amazing im glad Georgie cleared everything and Sheldon understood. (Poor Georgie too, he was only a kid when he had to take care of his mother, teenager sister, his wife, his baby daughter and the tire business, IM SO SO HAPPY EVERYTHING TURNED OUT OKAY FOR HIM, he's an example of a responsable man)
I see alot myself in Georgie, eldest of 3 and I unfortunately had to become the man of the house at 19, taking on all the responsibility that my parents should've, had to drop my college plans to cleanup the mess my parents caused. My younger siblings were kept away from the mess, and like sheldon didn't appreciate me.
They will appreciate everything you did for them I know it’s hard but they will realize it..it’s about time bro
Hope you're fine now
Same kind of boat. 12-18 I had to raise the kids while dad worked out of town for 3 months at a time and mom worked 12 hour shifts at the hospital an hour away (14 hour days for her).
One brother absulutly despises me. One is finally starting to open up to me. My sister and I get along great.
We need a spin-off with the adult version. i wanted more of sheldon, georgie and missy together
Leonard tearing up in the corner had me😭
When Raj and Howard patched up he was crying then too 😅
They did a great job casting young Georgie and older Georgie. I like how he even sounds like George Sr. from Young Sheldon.
Right they genetically modified the actor for Georgie into a child to make young Sheldon while making the Big Bang theory show crazy
@@lightningboltct4156 bazinga!
Here after George's not unexpected but still shocking deat on season 7
Rewatching after George sr passing. Much more impactful.
There should have been a scene where Sheldon and his brother shares some couple of beers and talk . That would have been epic
Rewatching after Sheldon Dad Death episode😢
Notice how young Georgie always said "stupid brother" or "my dumba** brother". But the mature and adult Georgie finally said BABY BROTHER really melt my heart. 🥺
That's I love watching the late season of young sheldon because of Georgie's great character development.
Georgie sed at 2:45 "u went away 2 college after dad died". Now season 3 finale of young sheldon shows that hes going 2 college. So does this mean were gonna witness george die on season 4??? Oh my goodness.....
Well there was 1 year where Sheldon was abroad studying and there was a tornado and their house's roof caved in on his dad and his mom had to stay behind even though Sheldon got sick
His dad dies when he’s 14
This is interesting, hopefully next season will b awesome
@@delilah567 i rememberer in the Thanksgiving episode Sheldon told Bernadette’s dad that he never had a beer with his father despite his father trying to give one to him at his high school graduation. But he was 11 and his mother wouldn’t allow it. He also told Bernadette’s dad that his father died when he was 14.
@@delilah567 what age is Sheldon on YS ? Been a while since I’ve watched it
In my culture we measure success by the amount of good influence you have on your surroundings, by that measure Georgy grew up to be the most successful one of the 3.
Watching Young Sheldon, this is even sadder
Georgie had to deal with real life problems while Sheldon lives in this sort of fantasyland.
I have a lot of respect for Georgie.
Sheldon never knew tho. Considering how smart Sheldon is, it's safe to say he would of helped out even more then Georgie ever could.
Only Georgie can call Sheldon an idiot and get away with it.
Awwww georgie😭😭
3:08 can't believe that George was so responsible.
Been binge-watching Young Sheldon recently, and watching this scene again, regardless of the added laughter sounds in the background, makes it even sadder to know that Sheldon and Georgie haven't spoken in 10years.
"He said never patch, do you ever listen" im rolling. i need to go back and finish this show. lol
Thanx for the upload . Came right after watching Georgie getting into tire business in young Sheldon 😊
I've only just started to watch Young Sheldon (so surprisingly good) and this episode feels so much bigger now with all that back story.
I binge watched young Sheldon, without knowing the existence of big bang theory , awww me
Omg really.
how is that possible :0
You’re jokin
Same lol
Same
Seeing Georgie successful makes my heart feel peace 😢
Can't help but laugh when sheldon says "thank you that is a nice thing to say"
I like that I haven't seen this show yet but started with Young Sheldon. Been wondering how the siblings turn out 😆
Considering the fact that in Young Sheldon we’ve seen that Georgie has a kid of his own around the time his dad dies the fact that George took care of everything on his own is that much more meaningful
Georgie REALLY stepped up
I truly hope we get to see this dynamic of George having to take care of the family while Sheldon is oblivious to it all in the coming seasons of Young Sheldon
You know I'm actually curious if he actually had to take care of the family or if Marry let him believe he was to help him cope with his loss. Its entirely possible that Georgie decided he had to be the man of the house and insisted on taking care of everything since that's what he was raised to believe men do.
