Yes. First, what happened to the proposed "Young Howard" sitcom? Everything else involves scenes that we didn't get to see. George watching the snow-filled Thanksgiving Day NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins, and pulling out his gun to shoot the TV when the Cowboys lost. The incident where Sheldon was on a bus to a Comic-Con and had to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a nun, only to wind up with an endless series of love letters from that nun. Sheldon and Missy being forced to dance together in the "Teens for Jesus Hoe-Down." Another incident that wasn't covered on either series but happened in real life during the early-1990's was the Vidor, Texas housing desegregation crisis. This incident stirred up racial tensions the likes of which hadn't been seen since the 1960's, and certainly had an impact on other parts of the state. I would've like to have seen how this may have impacted Medford, Texas.
It's sad that Mary and Missy still have a strained relationship by the finale, and it gets worse when you realise that they were the only ones left in the house by the end, with everyone else having moved out and on with their lives. At least we know that things get better for the Coopers.
Mary was much more resilient than the writers indicate at the end. And efficiently stubborn. I don’t think Georgie’s skipping optimism and determination would have saved the day. That said I don’t begrudge a little necessary trimming of the puzzle pieces.
^^^ Dude, Georgie took the funeral arrangements ENTIRELY out if Mary's hands. All Mary had to worry about was her speech & wardrobe. Georgie promised George's corpse that he won't let him down. In TBBT Georgie reveals he took care of Missy & Mary while Mary was all broken up and Missy was out doing dumb shit. And you thing Georgie's just gonna add some window dressing? You seem to have not watched Young Sheldon. When Georgie chooses to step up, he steps ALL THE WAY UP
I think the finale answers the question about 'Why Sheldon is writing his memoir ' He says in the finale that he's now the same age his dad was when he died. This probably made him reflect on his childhood and the relationship he had with his father and his whole world at that time in his life.
Yep, I like that little in joke. It would have been hilarious if they'd made a reference to Phoebe and Janine looking familiar in the Ghostbusters reboot.
^^^ I like to believe that when Meemaw passed, Mary decided that rather than break the news, she just send a random old lady to visit Sheldon and pretend to be Meemaw (unsuccessfully lol)
The success of Young Sheldon was so unprecedented to the point where this series knew how to stand up independently apart from The Big Bang Theory with its own unique identity.
I cant wait for the spinoff of the spinoff I somehow enjoyed young sheldon more than Big Bang Theory, i wish we could have a few more seasons but atlas the main goal of the seris was to display the life of sheldon upto age 14 and his dads death.
@@Banana-Joanne I watched Young Sheldon and had never seen Big bang Theory. So I ended up binge watching the whole thing on Netflix. I ended up really enjoying it.
I don’t think there wasn’t any rift of fight between Sheldon and Georgie. As Georgie stated, Sheldon went to college and that was it. Sheldon is not the kind of person that had or has any interest in anyone’s life that doesn’t involve his own interests. They just drifted apart.
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl And they weren’t really part of each other’s lives growing up. They were different, they had no subject or interest in common, whereas Missy, even with being the opposite of Sheldon, she knew how to deal with him and talk to him. Georgie and Sheldon really were not an item. Georgie never hated him or even resented him because Georgie was too busy making a life for himself to have any concerns about his relationship with his brother, or the lack of it.
its faul when sheldon said Georgie is not a good brother during tbbt saying he was a bully when in fact sheldon was the one who bully him using his connection from the bullies to control georgie. so i think young sheldon and tbbt has definitely huge contrast from tbbt
@@onlyjaeyoon900 no, Georgie has confirmed that he used to sat in Sheldon's face and fart on it. That's not what good brothers do. Georgie deserves whatever suffering Sheldon caused him after that.
If they couldn't get McKenna Grace back, due to her busy schedule, then they could have alluded to Paige in the finale. Same goes for Isabel May and Veronica, though at least she got name dropped in the penultimate episode.
Eh other than being Missy's friend and Sheldon's temporary Rival, there isn't any real reason for her to be included, it would be nothing more than fan service due to her being a fan favourite
I have a feeling they name-dropped Veronica because she'll return in Georgie's spinoff. Otherwise, why bring her up by name in the finale after her being gone for at least 2 seasons?
I recently rewatched the show and I realized I completely forgot that they mentioned in the first season that Connie has more children and therefore Mary has siblings. They say she is the only one still in touch with Connie but what are they so mad about so much so that they did not even come to their sister's husband's funeral?
They might not even know the guy. Also, who's to say they weren't there? The Story is from Sheldon's perspective and he's basically in shock that entire episode.
They changed so much, even the affair part of his father. In The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon talks about how his father's mistress bought him comics and figures because she wanted to be liked by his children. Sheldon also talks about how his parents' house was damaged while he was in Germany, and how his father died much earlier. There are so many more changes.
Actually it was also made clear in the show that george didnt cheated on mary. In big bang theory when sheldon said that when he came bck home early from germany, he saw his father with someone in the room and that scene was shown in young sheldon where mary and george were role playing, hence sheldon not being able to recognise his mother
I made up my own theory on Paige just to get some satisfaction. I think that she and Missy stayed good friends through their teen years, probably doing illegal things along the way but also supporting each other. I don’t think Paige went into science, she was too burnt out from the pressure of her label and family drama. Whatever she wound up doing, I think she’d prioritize being happy. I like to think she and Missy kept in touch as adults, even just the kind of friends who still pick up the phone when the other calls.
This is why I wish it had gone on for at least 3 more 3 seasons. I know it's called Young Sheldon but it could have continued with Sheldon coming home for the holidays or scripting it to where he avoiding people, like he was so good at. There were so many more stories to tell.
@@orbitaldragon I was hoping for that but an interview I heard with Annie Potts, she spoke about how upset was that her character was no more, so that kinda shot my hopes down that she would be a recurring character on that show.
@@cj2130 They do break that rule from time to time... "Mayberry RFD" comes to mind... Never was as good as the "Andy Griffith Show" it was spawned off of, but still had familiarity... Old example, I know, but it still happened... But you are correct... They do tend to avoid making original cast members regulars of the spin offs, but that does not mean they don't guest star, or make cameos once in a while... Sometimes they even make original cast members part of the spin off series later on, after the spin off has established itself as having its own identity... Another (older) example of this would be "Star Trek TNG" not wanting to do any stories about Klingons (Aside from Worf) or Romulans in the early episodes... They eventually brought both of them into not only TNG, but also in future "Star Trek" series, such as "Deep Space 9" and beyond...
@@cj2130 I agree with needing more seasons, but we never know what they have planned long term for the new show... I think it is a pretty good bet they wont cover much in the first season, because it will need to establish its own identity... If that is their plan, to close out the loose ends, lets hope the show is good enough to last multiple seasons, long enough to "Complete" what "TBBT" started...
10:46 The fact Georgie had to pick up the pieces of his fractured family may explain why his marriage to Mandy ultimately didn’t work out (since Big Bang confirmed he’d been married & divorced twice by the time Sheldon got married)
@@charlesyoung7436 honestly, I’d prefer that to not be the case due to so little of amicable divorces being shown - sometimes you just make better friends than partners.
People may not like it or agree, but it being a memoir also means sheldon could be censoring or covering up some of the stuff that happened in his childhood. Sometimes he's more socially aware than he lets on, may not want to drag his dad through the dirt. A lot of the stuff that happened in BBT didn't happen in young sheldon at all. Sheldon's mom had to go home from germany in BBT, and Sheldon broke his father's clavical. They definitely picked and chose what they wanted to use and left out most of the trauma.
Wasn't her going home later in the timeline than the end of YS? If I'm not mistaken, Sheldon said he was a visiting professor in Germany and he was like 16 so older than he is at the series end.
We also never get to see Sheldon walking in on his father having sex with another woman which prompted him to start knocking on doors three times and saying the name of the person he is looking for three times
@@velvetrooster5569 we did, but it was never another woman. it reffered to season 7 when him and Mary returned home from germany, and mary dressed up like a german woman for "fun time". He mistook it as another woman since she had a wig on and talked with an accent.
These kinds of questions are the way real life goes. All of us have people in our pasts that are no longer part of our lives. Sometimes we find out years later what happened to them. In most cases though, they are just a memory. Such is life. Not all stories get completion, or even a hint.
As a 41 year old, I hate to admit the before last episode where George dies made be cry quite a bit. Specially how everyone was grieving differently. Specially Sheldon's constant flashbacks to when he last saw his dad and the dad said see ya later. Pretty well done and fairly realistic... no clues, no special speech... just gone. Either way this is tough as f**ck, Not sure what's worse, the instant loss where you don't have the chance to say anything, or the very slow decay of seeing the one you love deteriorate till you look forward to the end of their suffering. Having gone through that last one not too long ago I seriously miss being in my teens and early 20's. Being a responsible adult has it's perks but god damn I miss not having that much responsibility. Like Sheldon looking over his empty room and sofas before leaving for Cal, I remember looking at my parents home before selling it... Life goes on, enjoy it as it goes.
One of the best family show which I like the most. Sometime it looks like the Big bang 's Sheldon is trying to copying the young Sheldon.😅 Love from India ❤🎉
I have heard that initially, the writers proposed the concept of Paige passing away at a young age. This event caused Sheldon to experience an emotional breakdown due to his inability to express his feelings for her, stemming from his limited social skills and emotional intelligence. In an alternate reality, Sheldon envisions a deeper and more meaningful connection with Paige. This concept also sheds light on Sheldon's refusal to acknowledge Dr. Sturgis, Dr. Linklatter, and President Hagemeyer, as he harbors resentment towards them for not guiding him in improving his social awareness. The loss of George adds another layer of grief, which helps explain Sheldon's adult behavior. The reason behind Sheldon's stubbornness and occasional meanness lies in the fact that he lost his inner spark when Paige died, making it challenging for him to accept affection and brighten up like he did when he was young. Sheldon's memory deliberately contradicts itself as a means to conceal the details of Paige's death. However, CBS ultimately rejected this idea as it was deemed excessively dark and hostile for a family sitcom.
That makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately, this happens when they introduce new characters in a prequel that where never mentioned in the original series, kind of garbage they erase Paige, Veronica, and other characters just because?
@@ashie3815 she was going reckless as we see to escape from her family, it totally makes sense she dies in accident. And hector gave plenty reason of how it adds to story
There is a phenomenon that affects individuals with exceptional intelligence and photographic memories. These people often find it difficult to cope with grief because they cannot easily forget or alter their memories. For most individuals, painful memories tend to fade over time, causing the associated emotional pain to diminish as well. However, for those with exceptional recall abilities, revisiting certain memories can trigger the same intense level of pain as the original event. To manage this recurring trauma, one survival strategy is to alter these memories or create a fantasy around them. By modifying the details of their memories or imagining a different outcome, they can reduce the emotional impact. This coping mechanism helps them to avoid reliving the full extent of their trauma repeatedly. This need to constantly manage and alter their memories can contribute to mental health issues in very intelligent individuals. The effort to maintain these altered realities can lead to delusional thinking or other psychological challenges. Thus, while their extraordinary memories and intelligence can be a great asset, they also come with significant emotional and mental burdens.
This is the a huge flaw on the plot of the show: Paige. No matter what excuse producers give, she wasn’t suppose to exist at first (because of tbbt) but since they made her, they screwed up at the end..
She was 14 and ran away and was picked up hitchhiking by a couple of guys who were heading to California looking for work. She ended up hooking up with one of them and they lived in an apartment in the middle of the San Fernando Valley and her best friend was a young Korean bride of a serviceman who could barely speak English. I know this, because when I moved to California these were my neighbors.
Why do you think they screwed up? Not every character needs closure, especially since Paige wasn't even close to being one of the main cast. She wasn't Sheldon's friend and definitely not his "crush" how a lot of YS fans who ask about Paige feel, and Missy was likely forbidden to see her after they ran away. If anything they messed up compared to TBBT is the rushed Tam appearance at the end of last season which didn't at all fit in with the story they said in TBBT but it seemed like they forgot about him until the end. He was Sheldon's supposed best friend he cared about so much that he put him on his nemesis list because Tam didn't move to California, yet he didn't talk to him since he left for college. I know Sheldon is self centred but why would he care so much about Tam in TBBT considering how he didn't care in YS. Also they really didn't do much for Missy since the end of season 6/first few episdoes of season 7, she had no plot lines and was back to a background character for the rest of the season until the finale like she was in the first season but instead of having funny one liners she was just angsty and annoying which isn't most unrealistic but they could've done so much better with her character.
Sheldon "Me, a highly regarded physicist. The kind of mind that comes along once, maybe twice in a generation". Sheldon himself foreshadowing Paige in TBBT S05E06 "The Rhinitis Revelation".
It happens all the time on these shows. A character shows up, becomes important for a few episodes. Sometimes they get a spinoff (Joanie loves Chachi, Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley) Sometimes they just disappear like Pinky and Leather Tuscadero
It would be great in a future TBBT series us Jennifer Morrison played adult Paige. In Once Upon A Time , McKenna Grace was the child version of Morrison’s Emma Swan.
You know I never realized but Jennifer Morrison wouldn't been a perfect played adult Paige in The Big bang theory that wouldn't have been like something
It is kind of sad how after George died the entire family was in chaos George was just a guy trying to provide for and keep his family together and after he died Mary fell into despair while Sheldon moved away to Pasadena to cope with the pain he distanced himself from the family and here MsMojo said that Missy was helpful but that is not true Missy was filled in anger and just like Georgie said Missy was a mess he was left alone to hold the family together and he never contacted Sheldon since he was angry at him for leaving the entire family for Caltech
11:52 I honestly don’t know how Steve Holland thought Paige’s story was ‘complete’ given where we see her last. I genuinely started fearing for Paige’s mental well being, as it seemed like she was heading down a path dangerously close to suicide & I thought it would’ve been an interesting (although heavy) subject to explore - especially if it had been Sheldon to bring her back from the brink. Well 😔 we can only imagine now.
that's actually the beauty part of not giving closure to her story, it allows each of us as fans to come up with an unlimited number of endings for her.
A few others: Why wasn't Connor at the wedding, or the funeral, or anywhere in the parent's house (he doesn't seem like he could support himself independently) or anywhere except the baby shower? What happened to Bobbi? When did Missy gain a Texan accent? Did Mee Maw go to jail or did she complete her community service? Why does Sheldon hate biology? Why did Mary on The Big Bang Theory say that they had a dog? Why did Mary tell the nuclear reactor story differently than how it happened? How come Leonard and Penny never made their voices heard on Young Sheldon? They were close to him than Howard was Did Missy quit baseball? Did Marcus actually cheat? We know George didn't. We also know Missy didn't see him cheating. The person who claimed to see that was her bully who she thinks is her BFF Heather M.
@@RockyLaRosa Season 1: The fish Season 2: A teenage girl at the church and the former soldier that never left or cleaned his house Season 4: Belinda Sparks (the chicken that caused Sheldon to crash his bike) Season 5: An armadillo Season 7: George who died in season 3? And in season 6?
I dont like how people treat sheldon about not being there for the family when their father dies, he was a 14 yo living in a different state, completely alone amd dealing with his fathers death.
Sheldon mentions a couple of times on TBBT that the only one that understood him was his grandpa, which is true since dr. Sturgis dated his meemaw and was his grandpa for a period.
I think he meant Connie’s dead husband since there was an episode in young sheldon where he mentions how he bonded with him over books by that one author almost nobody knew. But omg i love that, Dr. Sturgis was def his grandpa
If we were to follow the family pattern, each of the siblings have impresses talents that are balanced out by being blind in other areas of their lives. Missy character should have life history of great successes and failures, with more successes than failures.
I think they should had done a sequel to The Big Bang Theory where they focus on the characters kids as college students and have the original characters have minor cameos.
The hardest thing about doing Prequel Shows is that when we get to moments that were talked about and established in the original, the writers just crap themselves on changing it, struggle to get there, or just forget it all entirely.
Hi MsMojo, One major question I have with Young Shaldon compared to TBBT is why does Shaldon in TBBT talk so much about growing up with Christmas being a big part of his childhood life growing up, Yet in Young Sheldon not once in all 7 seasons was there a Christmas episode.
There’s actually been on character who was mentioned once in the Big Bang Theory, Uncle Stumpy. Seeing that we could have met him in the episode “Funeral” it’s sad to say Uncle Stumpy will a character with a funny backstory only mentioned once
Most prequels run into this issue. Better Call Saul had the same problem. But there are a ton of inconsistencies in the main series as it is … like Sheldons ability to drive or not.
TBBT had 2 seasons remaining when Young Sheldon aired so why would writers retcon Sheldon's memories to fit Young Sheldon's narratives? Such as Drs. Sturgis and Linkletter, Paige and other "plot" holes?
I wish but... 1. They were just kids (their characters were 12 years old and the actors were about the same age... so it's kind of obvious that they couldn't kiss). 2. In TBBT it has been stated that Sheldon has never kissed any girl. There was obvious chemistry and a great dynamic between Paige and Sheldon. If they kissed, it would probably develop into a relationship or something deeper. And that would be too inconsistent with TBBT and the character of the robotic, unempathetic Sheldon.
When my very smart son was in primary he was best friends with an even smarter young girl. It was amazing to watch her walk all over her parents without them even realizing it. Lucky for them she was also a wise child and behaved "mostly" well. They moved after only a couple of years, but she was a great influence on our son.
Fr, he literally called his niece his "nibling," in his avoidance of social norms, dude forgot what pre-existing familial labels we attach to GENETIC RELATIONSHIPS 🤦
@@commanderwaddles3483 “nibbling “ was that supposed to be Sheldon trying to show his niece affection? I can see how he would struggle with it as he struggled with emotions by nature
I don’t think the spin off of the spin off will survive especially because fan favourite characters won’t be coming back, missy, connie and marry aren’t going to be main characters so I just don’t have a good feeling about. I think a lot won’t get awnsered
@@departurer121 there’s a spin off of Georgie and Mandy, and their life first manage first kid, first house. The only people from the og young Sheldon that will be in it are Georgie and Mandan and Mandy’s mom and dad
@@departurer121 a reunion 10+ years later with the og cast and a reboot of TBBT with young sheldon cast but it will be different and its not fully confirmed There is also stuart coming in the georgie show
The only unanswered question that bothers me is Raj. I would have loved it if Amy said something like "And Missy & Raj are saving us a seat at the game. And they're bringing the twins!" That ties together the early episode where Missy says to Raj "Hi cutie-pie, I was hopin' you'd show up" and then later when Raj is driving Missy & Mary from the airport, and Missy says she is separated, Raj says "...You don't say?".
After watching Young Sheldon, I believe Paige surpasses Amy in every way and she is perfect for Sheldon. She was smart/genius like Sheldon (probably smarter), but with the personality of Penny or Missy (kinda), just more complex, messy and wit. They had complex relationship but especially great chemistry. In similarities they were close, in differences they could complement each other perfectly. Paige had the same as Penny and Amy but even more... beauty, intellect (genius), wit, sense of humor, wildness, high EQ and empathy, yet lonely, friendless, etc. That's why I'm annoyed that YS is a prequel, I'd prefer it to be a standalone show that went its own way. With changes and development that would match it (unfortunately, Paige's character was created after the end of TBBT).
They could of least had her Georgie's spin off, as why would she all of a sudden not be in his life, ~(she is still alive in BBT timeline- just obviously older and she and Sheldon still communicated by letters and the odd visit).~ Connie and Georgie had a good and close relationship and I can still see him needing and wanting her in his life, I can totally see him seeking her advice on things like marriage and parenting etc, plus BBT Georgie said he had to step up and take care of the family as Mary was a mess and Missy was a dumb teenager- I can so see Connie being a vital support to of helped him do just that... but based on what Annie Pott's herself has said (unless they are just tricking), it doesn't look like her character has any more future roles which is super sad because Connie is an awesome character and Annie Potts plays her so brilliantly.
@@ProwlingTiger1 It is very likely that Connie will appear from time to time implying she lives nearby and is still part of their lives. Other family members as well.
I’m convinced that they didn’t know what to do with “Paige” because not only did she stop appearing on the show, but they put her into a downward spiral with potential to recover after her parents got divorced, but decided to play into the downward spiral and just left it at that and maybe they did have an idea and it was scheduling with the actress, McKenna Grace that caused them not to be able to film the resolution of what they could’ve done with the character, but her character had been spiraling downhill for a good while and I don’t really see where it was supposed to be going, especially with the fact that a certain point now watching a 14-year-old at a college fraternity party getting drunk.
If Mckenna Grace wasn't busy with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, I guarantee you that they would've had a satisfying closure for Paige. Not seeing her in the final season was the biggest gut punch I've personally experienced from a tv show. Hopefully, this can be addressed in an episode of the upcoming series Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, or a possible revival of The Big Bang Theory. The latter might not happen for at least another ten to fifteen years if ever, but I would do anything to see an adult Paige unite with an adult Sheldon.
I know they are trying to make one huge show with forgotten characters First season georgie and mandy and their baby Second season stuart and his wife and a man
@RockyLaRosa Well, if we could see an adult Paige move to California and join that spinoff with Stuart and Bert, that would be another solution to getting closure for her.
I think it's possible. I was even considering the possibility before the finale aired because I was trying to figure out why Sheldon was telling the story to begin with
Wait! Was Missy separated from her SECOND husband or her first in BBT S11? I thought it was her first and that she got married a second time after BBT and had 2 additional kids. The way I understood it, she first got married circa 2010 and divorced near the end of BBT and got married a second time a few years later and was likely still married to her second husband as of the "present" in Memoir
To answer the question about Veronica it was due to scheduling conflicts as she was also starring on Alexa and Katie at the time. If she hadn't been Georgie would have had his baby with her instead of Mandy. You can google this. I liked Veronica as well, but unfortunately it didn't work out and her character was scrapped. Also I believe when your dad dies and your family is mourning you don't just pick up and leave. I get why Georigie would be upset at Sheldon, afterall many of the problems his famly had were because of Sheldon and Mary. Being a fresh adult with a baby, mourning mom and sister would take it's toll.
@@cj2130 Sheldon and his mother are both very selfish people. Sheldon was used to getting all the attention and I believe has some autistic tendencies sometimes which he cannot always help. But his mother was the one to aid in all of it.
@@alphanerd7221 she really is not actually, George was more selfless than Mary ever was. Mary is the literal embodiment of why people hate christians. She is judgement, rude, cares about their image and does not care about anyone elses needs or desires throughout the show. Sheldon was her favorite & if she had been paying more attention to her other kids I think Missy and Georgie would have turned out better. I felt bad for George the entire show, if one parent had to have died it probably shouldve been her.
@@brittanycoolidge4101 She's the one who supplicated her life to his dreams. She's totally fine to move away from her mother and grandchild she adores so he can have the career he wants. Missy and Georgie turn out fine. You have no examples to support your assertions. It looks like you are just bigoted against Christians and that's why you hate her.
I hated both of these shows when they first started and said they’d never last, but they both ended up sucking me in and I ended up loving them. I can’t wait for Georgie & Mandy, I really like both of them. But MeeMaw is the one who really should’ve gotten her own spin off. I’ve loved Annie Potts since she played MaryJo Shively on Designing Woman!
10) I was leaning towards Sheldon assumed Tam would move with him. SOMEWHERE I saw discussion of this and one suggestion is that Sheldon is so self involved he didn't notice anything Tam said, or that Tam never took part in the California part of the conversation. 9) (Heh, I have that everybody-bearded episode of BBT airing right now, muted on the TV as I watch this video) I KNOW somewhere Sheldon said he was pre-writing his memoirs, getting it all out while he can, that he expected to get too busy or had trouble finding time between raising his kids. This feels DEFINITELY in that season finale where Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik have actual screen time and not just voiceover work. 2) Georgie said 10 years. This was roughly Season 10, meaning they last spoke either just before the show started or not long after (Might be a year or two before and he's just rounding down). Meaning the non-speaking-terms started while Sheldon and Leonard were living together - they were already living together for several years when the show began - Sheldon established at CalTech, etc. I mean, the DIFFICULTY probably started around when Mary and Missy had roughly recovered, AFTER Georgie did all of the supporting he spoke of in that episode of BBT, then things deteriorated from there (maybe Georgie blasted him, told him off, and Sheldon took offence). Probably Sheldon was quite self-involved as a student at CalTech, completely dove into life there, and never reached out, see how everyone is doing, sending emotional support, whatever, and Georgie felt on his own handling things, when cold emotionless Sheldon clearly coped easier/better/quicker and was stable enough to help out in some way if it had occurred to him. 1) And why I clicked, obviously, LOL! McKenna was JUST so fantastic as Paige, moreso with each appearance, and she SO should have had an ending, she was so captivating! The stolen truck episode was NOTHING, that was all about Missy running away, Paige was just along for the ride, no real character development/resolution there at all! The showrunners were wrong, she had ZERO resolution! As it is I found it atrocious that they didn't put a Paige in Big Bang Theory before it ended like they did with Tam, HER appearance would have been FAR more interesting. Plus her seeming smarter - and being MUCH more grounded as a normal person - would make it super obvious to everyone why Sheldon never mentioned HER, and they could have had fun with that, too. :) What most struck me was when she was a visiting "professor"/presenter, and sought out Sheldon because she was lonely and lost. McKenna portrayed that beautifully, including her unspoken reactions, like finding out Sheldon's neighbours were friendly and invited him over to hang out. You could FEEL the disappointment in her face that she felt more alone than ever, the social know-nothing Sheldon had friends while she didn't. I'm sure they couldn't get McKenna Grace more permanently, but it seemed like a gimme that she should have transferred to East Texas Tech. They tried to recruit her once, now with some university success they'd want her more, and changing schools should have seemed extremely appealing: Continue her university education while having ONE familiar face. A little hanging out with Sheldon she could have befriended some of the people SHE was friendly with. Plus with how much better the staff treated him, she clearly wouldn't have had the Prize Puppy treatment she got at HER university. Win-win all around! (Except her old school for losing her, and they deserve to for neglecting her, using her and not truly utilizing and embracing her).
Even though High Potential is a different TV universe, my new theory about Paige is that she changed her name and is now a cleaning lady turned detective consultant for LAPD. The high intelligence, but lack of direction fits, and the actresses look enough alike.
I feel like there has to be a reason Sheldon never mentioned Paige as an adult. Namely the fact that she was said to be in a "bad way" at the end of the series sounds like she was going through a pretty serious depression. At that point, it's not hard to assume that Paige took her own life and that's why Sheldon never mentioned her as an adult (because the memories were too painful).
It’s almost as if BBT was filmed a long time before YS and not all things are the same. Even BBT has inconsistencies on it’s so no doubt YS will have that too.
LOL! Why would that answer what happened to Paige? Or what happened between Sheldon and Tam? Or why Sheldon was writing his memoir? Or what happened to the professors? Or why the show didn't show more of the other Big Bang characters?
Roger on Paige. Their "her story is complete" is an excuse. Truth is, they weren't able to recruit Grace for the final episodes. Paige was Sheldon's first love. And she humiliated Sheldon with that fake kiss, then a few years later expected to be treated like a friend. No, her story was not complete. The fans were left without closure.
I'd guess they're saving a few things for the Georgie and Mandy spin-off. Georgie running into Veronica later, or Missy confronting Pastor Rob in a post-George fury, maybe? Especially, even if Sheldon is off-screen, will the rift w Georgie be part of the show and his growth?
I think some of those questions stem form the rushed ending of >Young Shelding. Similar to TBBT, the last season seemd like they went through a checklist of the all the necessary stuff they still need to get through, to get it over with because you got something new going on and want to focus on that. I don't think we will see someone like Tam or the two doctors again, because their only connection is to Sheldon and not Georgie and Mandy. For the others, might be. Paige might be if the writers want to delve into Missys story some more, but I wouldn't bet on that.
Clearly we need a limited series to address all of these fantastic characters… especially MeeMaw. I would watch an entire 50+ episode series just about MeeMaw ❤
I think its just hard for the writters to tie everything together due to the times in which young sheldon was filmed and how far tbbt was at the point. In real life, these things happen. I had a best friend in primary school, everyday we would hang out. When we both went to different secondary schools, communication stopped. Those days we had no internet etc. never saw him again. People grow apart as they grow. As sheldon got older, other people played bigger parts in his life.
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl If missy is there occasionally, then Paige could come on as her friend. But yeah I don't see Sheldon meeting Georgie, if he comes on it will probably be him meeting his mother/missy
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl I don't think it's unlikely. Sheldon is unlikely cus he's in another place. However everyone else is still in Texas, she won't be a regular ofc but occasional cameos would make sense
I wish they did a TBBT reunion episode in the finale or last season. As I’m writing this, I understand a reunion in the finale would overshadow the young Sheldon characters. Also would probably be too expensive. But still would have been great.
I always felt that Paige changed her name to separate from her troubled childhood and continued in science, went back to college and became “respected” physicist Elizabeth Plumpton, the nympho house guest of Sheldon. I just realized that they never say how the two know each other.
I am surprised they didn’t do a spin off around the comic book store since you saw Stuart and Denise evolving, you had certain background characters such as the guy in the sweatpants with the captain America star on his shirt, and even though Jim Parsons didn’t want to continue the series The comic book store would’ve been a great place for the regular cast to make an occasional appearance.
What ever happened to Georges side of the family. I don't think they never mentioned them. Let alone show them. Always been curious about that from both shows.
As expected, CBS is placing Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage at the forefront of its comedy programming block, and the premiere date illustrates the network's confidence in the spinoff. As such, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage will debut its first episode on Thursday, October 17, at 8pm. This spot was previously held by the spinoff's predecessor, Young Sheldon, and has proven to be a successful timeslot in the past. If you were a Big Bang fan and a Young Sheldon fan then give George and Mannys first marriage a try🤩
Wow…. it’s almost like BBT was written years before they decided to do YS. Hmmm, wonder if that’s why there’s some holes in the characters or stories that have been told??
I think that in Young Sheldon Sheldon is the one who tells the story- he remembers and tells the past like it should have been- his father a great father, not like in TBBT was said, his Meemaw way cooler, Paige doesn’t exist in real life, he just wished another kid like him would exist, Billy was just stupid but didn’t bully him, they had no dog liketold in TBBT once and much more- all in all his childhood wasn’t perfect but he grew up in a loving home - but in reality things weren’t like that
I don't expect TBBT characters development to be answered in Young Sheldon. They can be alluded to but not fully answered. There has to be a special episode of TBBT for that.

The gang’s whereabouts
I wish they’d make a spin off show about Leonard Penny and their family.
Yes. First, what happened to the proposed "Young Howard" sitcom? Everything else involves scenes that we didn't get to see.
George watching the snow-filled Thanksgiving Day NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins, and pulling out his gun to shoot the TV when the Cowboys lost.
The incident where Sheldon was on a bus to a Comic-Con and had to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a nun, only to wind up with an endless series of love letters from that nun.
Sheldon and Missy being forced to dance together in the "Teens for Jesus Hoe-Down."
Another incident that wasn't covered on either series but happened in real life during the early-1990's was the Vidor, Texas housing desegregation crisis. This incident stirred up racial tensions the likes of which hadn't been seen since the 1960's, and certainly had an impact on other parts of the state. I would've like to have seen how this may have impacted Medford, Texas.
why was Missy the only one of the three siblings to not have a career or happy life.
Why did Mary talk poorly of her other 2 children.
Paige = Kim Wexler
It's sad that Mary and Missy still have a strained relationship by the finale, and it gets worse when you realise that they were the only ones left in the house by the end, with everyone else having moved out and on with their lives. At least we know that things get better for the Coopers.
Georgie covered that when Sheldon was getting married....he took care of mom and Missy. Hopefully the new spin-off clarifies that.
@@markthompson7503he wouldn’t be able to forever, at some point it would only have been those two left
Mary was much more resilient than the writers indicate at the end. And efficiently stubborn. I don’t think Georgie’s skipping optimism and determination would have saved the day. That said I don’t begrudge a little necessary trimming of the puzzle pieces.
^^^ Dude, Georgie took the funeral arrangements ENTIRELY out if Mary's hands. All Mary had to worry about was her speech & wardrobe.
Georgie promised George's corpse that he won't let him down.
In TBBT Georgie reveals he took care of Missy & Mary while Mary was all broken up and Missy was out doing dumb shit.
And you thing Georgie's just gonna add some window dressing? You seem to have not watched Young Sheldon. When Georgie chooses to step up, he steps ALL THE WAY UP
@@markthompson7503there’s a new spin off?
I think the finale answers the question about 'Why Sheldon is writing his memoir '
He says in the finale that he's now the same age his dad was when he died. This probably made him reflect on his childhood and the relationship he had with his father and his whole world at that time in his life.
Yes exactly
7:14 we need a new series with each season other characters
No way he's that young.
That line from Georgie’s still burns - “I know life has been hard on you but that don’t mean it’s been easy on us.”
Paige and Connie went to new york and became ghostbusters
Yep, I like that little in joke. It would have been hilarious if they'd made a reference to Phoebe and Janine looking familiar in the Ghostbusters reboot.
I will never forgive the write up of the old Sheldon meemaw. What a slug.
^^^ I like to believe that when Meemaw passed, Mary decided that rather than break the news, she just send a random old lady to visit Sheldon and pretend to be Meemaw (unsuccessfully lol)
@@josephososkie3029 This was the single largest mistake of Big Bang Theory. There is no way that Annie Potts aged into that fat toad.
@@commanderwaddles3483 I prefer this interpretation
The success of Young Sheldon was so unprecedented to the point where this series knew how to stand up independently apart from The Big Bang Theory with its own unique identity.
to the point where the spinoff now is going to have its own spinoff
I haven’t even watched the Big Bang theory myself, but still enjoyed young Sheldon. The only thing I knew was that it was based on TBBT
I cant wait for the spinoff of the spinoff
I somehow enjoyed young sheldon more than Big Bang Theory,
i wish we could have a few more seasons but atlas the main goal of the seris was to display the life of sheldon upto age 14 and his dads death.
@@Banana-Joanne I watched Young Sheldon and had never seen Big bang Theory. So I ended up binge watching the whole thing on Netflix. I ended up really enjoying it.
Never heard of Frasier?
I don’t think there wasn’t any rift of fight between Sheldon and Georgie. As Georgie stated, Sheldon went to college and that was it. Sheldon is not the kind of person that had or has any interest in anyone’s life that doesn’t involve his own interests. They just drifted apart.
I agree
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl And they weren’t really part of each other’s lives growing up. They were different, they had no subject or interest in common, whereas Missy, even with being the opposite of Sheldon, she knew how to deal with him and talk to him. Georgie and Sheldon really were not an item. Georgie never hated him or even resented him because Georgie was too busy making a life for himself to have any concerns about his relationship with his brother, or the lack of it.
Since I've haven't seen TBBT or Young Sheldon in a while, I can't Recall.
its faul when sheldon said Georgie is not a good brother during tbbt saying he was a bully when in fact sheldon was the one who bully him using his connection from the bullies to control georgie.
so i think young sheldon and tbbt has definitely huge contrast from tbbt
@@onlyjaeyoon900 no, Georgie has confirmed that he used to sat in Sheldon's face and fart on it. That's not what good brothers do. Georgie deserves whatever suffering Sheldon caused him after that.
If they couldn't get McKenna Grace back, due to her busy schedule, then they could have alluded to Paige in the finale. Same goes for Isabel May and Veronica, though at least she got name dropped in the penultimate episode.
And depending on the year she also had spinal fusion surgery and you have to stay off school for 6 weeks and can't walk after it
Eh other than being Missy's friend and Sheldon's temporary Rival, there isn't any real reason for her to be included, it would be nothing more than fan service due to her being a fan favourite
I have a feeling they name-dropped Veronica because she'll return in Georgie's spinoff. Otherwise, why bring her up by name in the finale after her being gone for at least 2 seasons?
@@Keychaine Maybe she and Georgie get married after he and Mandy break up.
@@KeychaineVeronica did develop a good friendship with Mary after becoming a Christian, so maybe she helped comfort Mary after her loss.
I recently rewatched the show and I realized I completely forgot that they mentioned in the first season that Connie has more children and therefore Mary has siblings. They say she is the only one still in touch with Connie but what are they so mad about so much so that they did not even come to their sister's husband's funeral?
They might not even know the guy. Also, who's to say they weren't there? The Story is from Sheldon's perspective and he's basically in shock that entire episode.
They changed so much, even the affair part of his father. In The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon talks about how his father's mistress bought him comics and figures because she wanted to be liked by his children. Sheldon also talks about how his parents' house was damaged while he was in Germany, and how his father died much earlier. There are so many more changes.
Actually it was also made clear in the show that george didnt cheated on mary. In big bang theory when sheldon said that when he came bck home early from germany, he saw his father with someone in the room and that scene was shown in young sheldon where mary and george were role playing, hence sheldon not being able to recognise his mother
@@dramaaddict524Is it the "Helga" roleplay of mary?
@@aldwin360yup
@@aldwin360 precisely XD
I made up my own theory on Paige just to get some satisfaction. I think that she and Missy stayed good friends through their teen years, probably doing illegal things along the way but also supporting each other. I don’t think Paige went into science, she was too burnt out from the pressure of her label and family drama. Whatever she wound up doing, I think she’d prioritize being happy. I like to think she and Missy kept in touch as adults, even just the kind of friends who still pick up the phone when the other calls.
This is why I wish it had gone on for at least 3 more 3 seasons. I know it's called Young Sheldon but it could have continued with Sheldon coming home for the holidays or scripting it to where he avoiding people, like he was so good at. There were so many more stories to tell.
There is another series called Georgie and Mandy coming out in September. It could easily include several of the aforementioned characters.
@@orbitaldragon I was hoping for that but an interview I heard with Annie Potts, she spoke about how upset was that her character was no more, so that kinda shot my hopes down that she would be a recurring character on that show.
@@cj2130 They do break that rule from time to time... "Mayberry RFD" comes to mind... Never was as good as the "Andy Griffith Show" it was spawned off of, but still had familiarity... Old example, I know, but it still happened...
But you are correct... They do tend to avoid making original cast members regulars of the spin offs, but that does not mean they don't guest star, or make cameos once in a while... Sometimes they even make original cast members part of the spin off series later on, after the spin off has established itself as having its own identity...
Another (older) example of this would be "Star Trek TNG" not wanting to do any stories about Klingons (Aside from Worf) or Romulans in the early episodes... They eventually brought both of them into not only TNG, but also in future "Star Trek" series, such as "Deep Space 9" and beyond...
@@cj2130 I agree with needing more seasons, but we never know what they have planned long term for the new show... I think it is a pretty good bet they wont cover much in the first season, because it will need to establish its own identity... If that is their plan, to close out the loose ends, lets hope the show is good enough to last multiple seasons, long enough to "Complete" what "TBBT" started...
8:12 when will the reunion come?
10:46 The fact Georgie had to pick up the pieces of his fractured family may explain why his marriage to Mandy ultimately didn’t work out (since Big Bang confirmed he’d been married & divorced twice by the time Sheldon got married)
I believe that he remarries Mandy after his second marriage breaks down. Remember the title of the newest series.
@@charlesyoung7436 honestly, I’d prefer that to not be the case due to so little of amicable divorces being shown - sometimes you just make better friends than partners.
People may not like it or agree, but it being a memoir also means sheldon could be censoring or covering up some of the stuff that happened in his childhood. Sometimes he's more socially aware than he lets on, may not want to drag his dad through the dirt. A lot of the stuff that happened in BBT didn't happen in young sheldon at all. Sheldon's mom had to go home from germany in BBT, and Sheldon broke his father's clavical. They definitely picked and chose what they wanted to use and left out most of the trauma.
Wasn't her going home later in the timeline than the end of YS? If I'm not mistaken, Sheldon said he was a visiting professor in Germany and he was like 16 so older than he is at the series end.
We also never get to see Sheldon walking in on his father having sex with another woman which prompted him to start knocking on doors three times and saying the name of the person he is looking for three times
@@velvetrooster5569 we did, but it was never another woman. it reffered to season 7 when him and Mary returned home from germany, and mary dressed up like a german woman for "fun time". He mistook it as another woman since she had a wig on and talked with an accent.
@@livechristinalvr5651 and you are sure about that? I just want to make sure
@@velvetrooster5569 pretty sure so. the timeline adds up. Brenda and George never had more than an emotional affair, and there weren’t anyone else
I have just realised: The very first song (in the Pilot) and the very last song (in the Finale) are the same: Walk of Life from Dire Straits.
Yup. That was no accident
Cool i knew i remembered something
yeah. Oldest trick in the book. End like you started. Pink Floyd and Star Wars do this all the time too.
I really liked the Connie character. My mother was like that, spunky, cute, caring. But she didn’t let herself go! No Mema!
These kinds of questions are the way real life goes. All of us have people in our pasts that are no longer part of our lives. Sometimes we find out years later what happened to them. In most cases though, they are just a memory. Such is life. Not all stories get completion, or even a hint.
As a 41 year old, I hate to admit the before last episode where George dies made be cry quite a bit. Specially how everyone was grieving differently. Specially Sheldon's constant flashbacks to when he last saw his dad and the dad said see ya later.
Pretty well done and fairly realistic... no clues, no special speech... just gone.
Either way this is tough as f**ck, Not sure what's worse, the instant loss where you don't have the chance to say anything, or the very slow decay of seeing the one you love deteriorate till you look forward to the end of their suffering.
Having gone through that last one not too long ago I seriously miss being in my teens and early 20's. Being a responsible adult has it's perks but god damn I miss not having that much responsibility. Like Sheldon looking over his empty room and sofas before leaving for Cal, I remember looking at my parents home before selling it...
Life goes on, enjoy it as it goes.
One of the best family show which I like the most. Sometime it looks like the Big bang 's Sheldon is trying to copying the young Sheldon.😅 Love from India ❤🎉
I have heard that initially, the writers proposed the concept of Paige passing away at a young age. This event caused Sheldon to experience an emotional breakdown due to his inability to express his feelings for her, stemming from his limited social skills and emotional intelligence. In an alternate reality, Sheldon envisions a deeper and more meaningful connection with Paige. This concept also sheds light on Sheldon's refusal to acknowledge Dr. Sturgis, Dr. Linklatter, and President Hagemeyer, as he harbors resentment towards them for not guiding him in improving his social awareness. The loss of George adds another layer of grief, which helps explain Sheldon's adult behavior. The reason behind Sheldon's stubbornness and occasional meanness lies in the fact that he lost his inner spark when Paige died, making it challenging for him to accept affection and brighten up like he did when he was young. Sheldon's memory deliberately contradicts itself as a means to conceal the details of Paige's death. However, CBS ultimately rejected this idea as it was deemed excessively dark and hostile for a family sitcom.
That makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately, this happens when they introduce new characters in a prequel that where never mentioned in the original series, kind of garbage they erase Paige, Veronica, and other characters just because?
Terrible idea to make Paige dead. Sheldon can even tell a difference between his mother in a wig. I think we should keep her whereabouts quiet
paige dying would make no sense and would add nothing to the story
Yall didn't read a thing Hector said and it shows
@@ashie3815 she was going reckless as we see to escape from her family, it totally makes sense she dies in accident. And hector gave plenty reason of how it adds to story
Mckenna Grace is one of the cutest actresses i've ever seen.Her face can light up a room.
There is a phenomenon that affects individuals with exceptional intelligence and photographic memories. These people often find it difficult to cope with grief because they cannot easily forget or alter their memories. For most individuals, painful memories tend to fade over time, causing the associated emotional pain to diminish as well. However, for those with exceptional recall abilities, revisiting certain memories can trigger the same intense level of pain as the original event.
To manage this recurring trauma, one survival strategy is to alter these memories or create a fantasy around them. By modifying the details of their memories or imagining a different outcome, they can reduce the emotional impact. This coping mechanism helps them to avoid reliving the full extent of their trauma repeatedly.
This need to constantly manage and alter their memories can contribute to mental health issues in very intelligent individuals. The effort to maintain these altered realities can lead to delusional thinking or other psychological challenges. Thus, while their extraordinary memories and intelligence can be a great asset, they also come with significant emotional and mental burdens.
This is the a huge flaw on the plot of the show: Paige. No matter what excuse producers give, she wasn’t suppose to exist at first (because of tbbt) but since they made her, they screwed up at the end..
She was 14 and ran away and was picked up hitchhiking by a couple of guys who were heading to California looking for work. She ended up hooking up with one of them and they lived in an apartment in the middle of the San Fernando Valley and her best friend was a young Korean bride of a serviceman who could barely speak English. I know this, because when I moved to California these were my neighbors.
Why do you think they screwed up? Not every character needs closure, especially since Paige wasn't even close to being one of the main cast. She wasn't Sheldon's friend and definitely not his "crush" how a lot of YS fans who ask about Paige feel, and Missy was likely forbidden to see her after they ran away. If anything they messed up compared to TBBT is the rushed Tam appearance at the end of last season which didn't at all fit in with the story they said in TBBT but it seemed like they forgot about him until the end. He was Sheldon's supposed best friend he cared about so much that he put him on his nemesis list because Tam didn't move to California, yet he didn't talk to him since he left for college. I know Sheldon is self centred but why would he care so much about Tam in TBBT considering how he didn't care in YS.
Also they really didn't do much for Missy since the end of season 6/first few episdoes of season 7, she had no plot lines and was back to a background character for the rest of the season until the finale like she was in the first season but instead of having funny one liners she was just angsty and annoying which isn't most unrealistic but they could've done so much better with her character.
they turned the page on her
Sheldon "Me, a highly regarded physicist. The kind of mind that comes along once, maybe twice in a generation". Sheldon himself foreshadowing Paige in TBBT S05E06 "The Rhinitis Revelation".
It happens all the time on these shows. A character shows up, becomes important for a few episodes. Sometimes they get a spinoff (Joanie loves Chachi, Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley) Sometimes they just disappear like Pinky and Leather Tuscadero
It would be great in a future TBBT series us Jennifer Morrison played adult Paige. In Once Upon A Time , McKenna Grace was the child version of Morrison’s Emma Swan.
You know I never realized but Jennifer Morrison wouldn't been a perfect played adult Paige in The Big bang theory that wouldn't have been like something
It is kind of sad how after George died the entire family was in chaos George was just a guy trying to provide for and keep his family together and after he died Mary fell into despair while Sheldon moved away to Pasadena to cope with the pain he distanced himself from the family and here MsMojo said that Missy was helpful but that is not true Missy was filled in anger and just like Georgie said Missy was a mess he was left alone to hold the family together and he never contacted Sheldon since he was angry at him for leaving the entire family for Caltech
11:52 I honestly don’t know how Steve Holland thought Paige’s story was ‘complete’ given where we see her last.
I genuinely started fearing for Paige’s mental well being, as it seemed like she was heading down a path dangerously close to suicide & I thought it would’ve been an interesting (although heavy) subject to explore - especially if it had been Sheldon to bring her back from the brink.
Well 😔 we can only imagine now.
that's actually the beauty part of not giving closure to her story, it allows each of us as fans to come up with an unlimited number of endings for her.
A few others:
Why wasn't Connor at the wedding, or the funeral, or anywhere in the parent's house (he doesn't seem like he could support himself independently) or anywhere except the baby shower?
What happened to Bobbi?
When did Missy gain a Texan accent?
Did Mee Maw go to jail or did she complete her community service?
Why does Sheldon hate biology?
Why did Mary on The Big Bang Theory say that they had a dog?
Why did Mary tell the nuclear reactor story differently than how it happened?
How come Leonard and Penny never made their voices heard on Young Sheldon? They were close to him than Howard was
Did Missy quit baseball?
Did Marcus actually cheat? We know George didn't. We also know Missy didn't see him cheating. The person who claimed to see that was her bully who she thinks is her BFF Heather M.
I mean these scenes would be less impactful because it is not that important. They pretty much focus on something that is related to TBBT
Well, technically Penny‘s voice was heard on _Young Sheldon_ , though.

I dont like how people treat sheldon about not being there for the family when their father dies, he was a 14 yo living in a different state, completely alone amd dealing with his fathers death.
Sheldon mentions a couple of times on TBBT that the only one that understood him was his grandpa, which is true since dr. Sturgis dated his meemaw and was his grandpa for a period.
I think he meant Connie’s dead husband since there was an episode in young sheldon where he mentions how he bonded with him over books by that one author almost nobody knew. But omg i love that, Dr. Sturgis was def his grandpa
I’ve probably watched all your young Sheldon and big bang theory videos (I love Ms mojo)
Same
If we were to follow the family pattern, each of the siblings have impresses talents that are balanced out by being blind in other areas of their lives. Missy character should have life history of great successes and failures, with more successes than failures.
Craig T Nelson was a brilliant character to bring to the show. He stole every scene he was in.
Mr Incredible
I think they should had done a sequel to The Big Bang Theory where they focus on the characters kids as college students and have the original characters have minor cameos.

The hardest thing about doing Prequel Shows is that when we get to moments that were talked about and established in the original, the writers just crap themselves on changing it, struggle to get there, or just forget it all entirely.
Hi MsMojo, One major question I have with Young Shaldon compared to TBBT is why does Shaldon in TBBT talk so much about growing up with Christmas being a big part of his childhood life growing up, Yet in Young Sheldon not once in all 7 seasons was there a Christmas episode.
and for clarification, an Executive Producer confirmed that Paige is still alive as of the beginning of BBT
He did? Oh. OK. That's good to know.
She wasn’t even mentioned in TBBT
@joshuadesautels Paige wasn’t even mentioned in TBBT
There’s actually been on character who was mentioned once in the Big Bang Theory, Uncle Stumpy. Seeing that we could have met him in the episode “Funeral” it’s sad to say Uncle Stumpy will a character with a funny backstory only mentioned once
Maybe during the funeral his name was still Edward…
Big Bang should have a closure
Just One Movie to Answer All Questions
Most prequels run into this issue. Better Call Saul had the same problem. But there are a ton of inconsistencies in the main series as it is … like Sheldons ability to drive or not.
Happy wednesday afternoon, Phoebe, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.
TBBT had 2 seasons remaining when Young Sheldon aired so why would writers retcon Sheldon's memories to fit Young Sheldon's narratives? Such as Drs. Sturgis and Linkletter, Paige and other "plot" holes?
Because Sheldon is so forthcoming about his past and his feelings.
I would love to see the gang get together for that dinner in 20 years and the apartment building is torn down and turned into a Cheesecake Factory!!!!
Yes, just one show.
WHEN, we got to countdown
Mckrnna Grace reminds me of Racheil Leigh Cook in the 90s...an angel that needs no reason to be defined as the aura vibrates❤
I’m surprised Iain Armitage didn’t encourage the writers to have Paige be Sheldon’s first kiss before he goes to CalTech.
I wish but...
1. They were just kids (their characters were 12 years old and the actors were about the same age... so it's kind of obvious that they couldn't kiss).
2. In TBBT it has been stated that Sheldon has never kissed any girl.
There was obvious chemistry and a great dynamic between Paige and Sheldon. If they kissed, it would probably develop into a relationship or something deeper. And that would be too inconsistent with TBBT and the character of the robotic, unempathetic Sheldon.
When my very smart son was in primary he was best friends with an even smarter young girl. It was amazing to watch her walk all over her parents without them even realizing it. Lucky for them she was also a wise child and behaved "mostly" well. They moved after only a couple of years, but she was a great influence on our son.
I noticed that. Sheldon became an uncle at a young age and he never seemed to acknowledge his niece. I can see amy taking notice of her than Sheldon
Fr, he literally called his niece his "nibling," in his avoidance of social norms, dude forgot what pre-existing familial labels we attach to GENETIC RELATIONSHIPS 🤦

One unanswered question was Sheldon’s bully ( Billy’s sister) after that one episode she just disappeared.
She moved away with Billy’s dad I’m pretty sure
The only unanswered question that bothers me is Raj. I would have loved it if Amy said something like "And Missy & Raj are saving us a seat at the game. And they're bringing the twins!" That ties together the early episode where Missy says to Raj "Hi cutie-pie, I was hopin' you'd show up" and then later when Raj is driving Missy & Mary from the airport, and Missy says she is separated, Raj says "...You don't say?".
Awesome video! Can't wait to see your next video ☺️🖤
A follow-up 90-minute movie would clear things up.
After watching Young Sheldon, I believe Paige surpasses Amy in every way and she is perfect for Sheldon. She was smart/genius like Sheldon (probably smarter), but with the personality of Penny or Missy (kinda), just more complex, messy and wit. They had complex relationship but especially great chemistry. In similarities they were close, in differences they could complement each other perfectly. Paige had the same as Penny and Amy but even more... beauty, intellect (genius), wit, sense of humor, wildness, high EQ and empathy, yet lonely, friendless, etc.
That's why I'm annoyed that YS is a prequel, I'd prefer it to be a standalone show that went its own way. With changes and development that would match it (unfortunately, Paige's character was created after the end of TBBT).
Annie Potts should have gotten a spin off.
They could of least had her Georgie's spin off, as why would she all of a sudden not be in his life, ~(she is still alive in BBT timeline- just obviously older and she and Sheldon still communicated by letters and the odd visit).~
Connie and Georgie had a good and close relationship and I can still see him needing and wanting her in his life, I can totally see him seeking her advice on things like marriage and parenting etc, plus BBT Georgie said he had to step up and take care of the family as Mary was a mess and Missy was a dumb teenager- I can so see Connie being a vital support to of helped him do just that... but based on what Annie Pott's herself has said (unless they are just tricking), it doesn't look like her character has any more future roles which is super sad because Connie is an awesome character and Annie Potts plays her so brilliantly.
@@ProwlingTiger1 It is very likely that Connie will appear from time to time implying she lives nearby and is still part of their lives. Other family members as well.
Who?
@@Epic_Person. Connie Tucker also known as meemaw since she has much kids that are not mentioned
I’m convinced that they didn’t know what to do with “Paige” because not only did she stop appearing on the show, but they put her into a downward spiral with potential to recover after her parents got divorced, but decided to play into the downward spiral and just left it at that and maybe they did have an idea and it was scheduling with the actress, McKenna Grace that caused them not to be able to film the resolution of what they could’ve done with the character, but her character had been spiraling downhill for a good while and I don’t really see where it was supposed to be going, especially with the fact that a certain point now watching a 14-year-old at a college fraternity party getting drunk.
Hope they named the girl Stephanie after Stephen Hawking
Or maybe after Paige
It makes sense. I wonder how many kids he has. He mentions “kids” as in plural yet all we hear mentioned is his son Leonard
Probably named her Penny, as Sheldon chose Leonard for their son. And she wants to take acting lessons.
@@deborahsanders6762 But was not after his friend
@@deborahsanders6762 maybe she’s named “Mary” after her grandmother cuz Sheldon loves his mom. He went ahead with baptism because it’s what she wanted
If Mckenna Grace wasn't busy with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, I guarantee you that they would've had a satisfying closure for Paige. Not seeing her in the final season was the biggest gut punch I've personally experienced from a tv show. Hopefully, this can be addressed in an episode of the upcoming series Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, or a possible revival of The Big Bang Theory. The latter might not happen for at least another ten to fifteen years if ever, but I would do anything to see an adult Paige unite with an adult Sheldon.
I know they are trying to make one huge show with forgotten characters
First season georgie and mandy and their baby
Second season stuart and his wife and a man
@RockyLaRosa Well, if we could see an adult Paige move to California and join that spinoff with Stuart and Bert, that would be another solution to getting closure for her.
All the Leonard’s fate rumors are really silly I hope they aren’t true
I think it's possible. I was even considering the possibility before the finale aired because I was trying to figure out why Sheldon was telling the story to begin with
Wait! Was Missy separated from her SECOND husband or her first in BBT S11? I thought it was her first and that she got married a second time after BBT and had 2 additional kids. The way I understood it, she first got married circa 2010 and divorced near the end of BBT and got married a second time a few years later and was likely still married to her second husband as of the "present" in Memoir
1:14 TAM HAD A GLOW UP!
IT FINALLY HAPPENED 🎉🎉
To answer the question about Veronica it was due to scheduling conflicts as she was also starring on Alexa and Katie at the time. If she hadn't been Georgie would have had his baby with her instead of Mandy. You can google this. I liked Veronica as well, but unfortunately it didn't work out and her character was scrapped. Also I believe when your dad dies and your family is mourning you don't just pick up and leave. I get why Georigie would be upset at Sheldon, afterall many of the problems his famly had were because of Sheldon and Mary. Being a fresh adult with a baby, mourning mom and sister would take it's toll.
@@cj2130 Sheldon and his mother are both very selfish people. Sheldon was used to getting all the attention and I believe has some autistic tendencies sometimes which he cannot always help. But his mother was the one to aid in all of it.
@@brittanycoolidge4101 Mary is selfless to a fault.
@@alphanerd7221 she really is not actually, George was more selfless than Mary ever was. Mary is the literal embodiment of why people hate christians. She is judgement, rude, cares about their image and does not care about anyone elses needs or desires throughout the show. Sheldon was her favorite & if she had been paying more attention to her other kids I think Missy and Georgie would have turned out better. I felt bad for George the entire show, if one parent had to have died it probably shouldve been her.
@@brittanycoolidge4101 She's the one who supplicated her life to his dreams. She's totally fine to move away from her mother and grandchild she adores so he can have the career he wants.
Missy and Georgie turn out fine.
You have no examples to support your assertions. It looks like you are just bigoted against Christians and that's why you hate her.
I hated both of these shows when they first started and said they’d never last, but they both ended up sucking me in and I ended up loving them. I can’t wait for Georgie & Mandy, I really like both of them. But MeeMaw is the one who really should’ve gotten her own spin off. I’ve loved Annie Potts since she played MaryJo Shively on Designing Woman!
Ha! I guess I already watched this and commented almost the same thing! 😂
It would be nice for a cast reunion in Georgie and Mandy series
10) I was leaning towards Sheldon assumed Tam would move with him. SOMEWHERE I saw discussion of this and one suggestion is that Sheldon is so self involved he didn't notice anything Tam said, or that Tam never took part in the California part of the conversation.
9) (Heh, I have that everybody-bearded episode of BBT airing right now, muted on the TV as I watch this video) I KNOW somewhere Sheldon said he was pre-writing his memoirs, getting it all out while he can, that he expected to get too busy or had trouble finding time between raising his kids. This feels DEFINITELY in that season finale where Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik have actual screen time and not just voiceover work.
2) Georgie said 10 years. This was roughly Season 10, meaning they last spoke either just before the show started or not long after (Might be a year or two before and he's just rounding down). Meaning the non-speaking-terms started while Sheldon and Leonard were living together - they were already living together for several years when the show began - Sheldon established at CalTech, etc. I mean, the DIFFICULTY probably started around when Mary and Missy had roughly recovered, AFTER Georgie did all of the supporting he spoke of in that episode of BBT, then things deteriorated from there (maybe Georgie blasted him, told him off, and Sheldon took offence). Probably Sheldon was quite self-involved as a student at CalTech, completely dove into life there, and never reached out, see how everyone is doing, sending emotional support, whatever, and Georgie felt on his own handling things, when cold emotionless Sheldon clearly coped easier/better/quicker and was stable enough to help out in some way if it had occurred to him.
1) And why I clicked, obviously, LOL! McKenna was JUST so fantastic as Paige, moreso with each appearance, and she SO should have had an ending, she was so captivating! The stolen truck episode was NOTHING, that was all about Missy running away, Paige was just along for the ride, no real character development/resolution there at all! The showrunners were wrong, she had ZERO resolution! As it is I found it atrocious that they didn't put a Paige in Big Bang Theory before it ended like they did with Tam, HER appearance would have been FAR more interesting. Plus her seeming smarter - and being MUCH more grounded as a normal person - would make it super obvious to everyone why Sheldon never mentioned HER, and they could have had fun with that, too. :) What most struck me was when she was a visiting "professor"/presenter, and sought out Sheldon because she was lonely and lost. McKenna portrayed that beautifully, including her unspoken reactions, like finding out Sheldon's neighbours were friendly and invited him over to hang out. You could FEEL the disappointment in her face that she felt more alone than ever, the social know-nothing Sheldon had friends while she didn't. I'm sure they couldn't get McKenna Grace more permanently, but it seemed like a gimme that she should have transferred to East Texas Tech. They tried to recruit her once, now with some university success they'd want her more, and changing schools should have seemed extremely appealing: Continue her university education while having ONE familiar face. A little hanging out with Sheldon she could have befriended some of the people SHE was friendly with. Plus with how much better the staff treated him, she clearly wouldn't have had the Prize Puppy treatment she got at HER university. Win-win all around! (Except her old school for losing her, and they deserve to for neglecting her, using her and not truly utilizing and embracing her).
Even though High Potential is a different TV universe, my new theory about Paige is that she changed her name and is now a cleaning lady turned detective consultant for LAPD. The high intelligence, but lack of direction fits, and the actresses look enough alike.
I feel like there has to be a reason Sheldon never mentioned Paige as an adult. Namely the fact that she was said to be in a "bad way" at the end of the series sounds like she was going through a pretty serious depression. At that point, it's not hard to assume that Paige took her own life and that's why Sheldon never mentioned her as an adult (because the memories were too painful).
It’s almost as if BBT was filmed a long time before YS and not all things are the same. Even BBT has inconsistencies on it’s so no doubt YS will have that too.
I think we will get all the answers in the new show that has his brother and wife show
LOL! Why would that answer what happened to Paige? Or what happened between Sheldon and Tam? Or why Sheldon was writing his memoir? Or what happened to the professors? Or why the show didn't show more of the other Big Bang characters?
Missy in paige is my favorite character
Roger on Paige. Their "her story is complete" is an excuse. Truth is, they weren't able to recruit Grace for the final episodes.
Paige was Sheldon's first love. And she humiliated Sheldon with that fake kiss, then a few years later expected to be treated like a friend.
No, her story was not complete. The fans were left without closure.
Thank you for supporting our channel!
Had they had any foresight, they would have hired Annie Potts to play MeeMaw in the BBT
I am VERY disappointed Bobby Sparks never came back.
Me too
Wassent he a bully in the big bang
Or some other guy
I'd guess they're saving a few things for the Georgie and Mandy spin-off. Georgie running into Veronica later, or Missy confronting Pastor Rob in a post-George fury, maybe? Especially, even if Sheldon is off-screen, will the rift w Georgie be part of the show and his growth?
I think some of those questions stem form the rushed ending of >Young Shelding. Similar to TBBT, the last season seemd like they went through a checklist of the all the necessary stuff they still need to get through, to get it over with because you got something new going on and want to focus on that. I don't think we will see someone like Tam or the two doctors again, because their only connection is to Sheldon and not Georgie and Mandy. For the others, might be. Paige might be if the writers want to delve into Missys story some more, but I wouldn't bet on that.
Clearly we need a limited series to address all of these fantastic characters… especially MeeMaw. I would watch an entire 50+ episode series just about MeeMaw ❤
Paige adopted Sheldon's behavior and became Phoebe
McKenna Grace has been "Gifted" for a very long time. 😜 Hard to believe it's the same girl, she an amazing actress.
I would prefer Missy spin off, rather than Georgie & Mindy 😅
We know Missy is happy. It is mentioned by Adult Sheldon that eventually Missy had 4 kids and a happy family.
I think its just hard for the writters to tie everything together due to the times in which young sheldon was filmed and how far tbbt was at the point. In real life, these things happen. I had a best friend in primary school, everyday we would hang out. When we both went to different secondary schools, communication stopped. Those days we had no internet etc. never saw him again. People grow apart as they grow. As sheldon got older, other people played bigger parts in his life.
Could Paige be the Officer Paige from the parent series?
Possible if it is made by chuck or wb then it is definitly is
Rob also was in a show
Maybe Paige will be in the Georgie and Mandy spin-off? And maybe Ian Armitage can make a few cameos, just not around Georgie.
Why would Paige be in that? Georgie hardly even even knew her
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl If missy is there occasionally, then Paige could come on as her friend.
But yeah I don't see Sheldon meeting Georgie, if he comes on it will probably be him meeting his mother/missy
@@azrael_pendragon that seems unlikely. Missy being there is unlikely enough but her and Paige being there? I doubt that.
@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl I don't think it's unlikely.
Sheldon is unlikely cus he's in another place.
However everyone else is still in Texas, she won't be a regular ofc but occasional cameos would make sense
Raj Howard and Stewart deserves a spin off !!!
I wish they did a TBBT reunion episode in the finale or last season. As I’m writing this, I understand a reunion in the finale would overshadow the young Sheldon characters. Also would probably be too expensive. But still would have been great.
What can fix this is doing one last short season of TBBT to answer these questions lol.
I always felt that Paige changed her name to separate from her troubled childhood and continued in science, went back to college and became “respected” physicist Elizabeth Plumpton, the nympho house guest of Sheldon. I just realized that they never say how the two know each other.
1:35 is Sheldon had that dream that would be really sad
Hopefully, the series with Georgie and Mandy answers these questions.
That clip of the Einstein poster falling over and talking freaked me the hell out 😨
A continuing plot source for G&M - could be - catching up with all the Guest Stars that were on YS.
.
Paige's story is absolutely not complete. Thats ridiculous.
Paige forever. I'm upset she wasn't in the final season.. :(
I am surprised they didn’t do a spin off around the comic book store since you saw Stuart and Denise evolving, you had certain background characters such as the guy in the sweatpants with the captain America star on his shirt, and even though Jim Parsons didn’t want to continue the series The comic book store would’ve been a great place for the regular cast to make an occasional appearance.
What ever happened to Georges side of the family. I don't think they never mentioned them. Let alone show them. Always been curious about that from both shows.
They did mention his sister but that was in like season 2 or 3
And Mary’s siblings.
It would’ve been nice if any of the characters mentioned what’s going on with Paige in season 7
I love them so much 🫶🫶🫶🫶
As expected, CBS is placing Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage at the forefront of its comedy programming block, and the premiere date illustrates the network's confidence in the spinoff. As such, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage will debut its first episode on Thursday, October 17, at 8pm. This spot was previously held by the spinoff's predecessor, Young Sheldon, and has proven to be a successful timeslot in the past.
If you were a Big Bang fan and a Young Sheldon fan then give George and Mannys first marriage a try🤩
Wow…. it’s almost like BBT was written years before they decided to do YS. Hmmm, wonder if that’s why there’s some holes in the characters or stories that have been told??
Who knows maybe we might see Paige again in the new George and Mandy spinoff show hopefully 🤞🤞
I think that in Young Sheldon Sheldon is the one who tells the story- he remembers and tells the past like it should have been- his father a great father, not like in TBBT was said, his Meemaw way cooler, Paige doesn’t exist in real life, he just wished another kid like him would exist, Billy was just stupid but didn’t bully him, they had no dog liketold in TBBT once and much more- all in all his childhood wasn’t perfect but he grew up in a loving home - but in reality things weren’t like that
I don't expect TBBT characters development to be answered in Young Sheldon. They can be alluded to but not fully answered. There has to be a special episode of TBBT for that.
