Any Young Sheldon fans here?

They are starting to go to the 'dark side' with George flirting with having an affair.

I know they are following the storyline that was set in The Big Bang Theory,
but it is strange to see this comedy show becoming a drama.

I'm not crazy about where it's going, either. I was kind of hoping they'd decide to inore that part f the Big Bang Theory canon. It wouldn't be the first time a TV show or spinoff changed canons in midstream, so to speak. Still hoping it won't go all the way to where it seems to be going.

They do tend to take it to the point where George dies.

In TBBT Sheldon is 14 at the time.

I couldn't remember how old Sheldon was when that happened.

I guess I'd better buckle my seatbelt. It looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride!

want to stay true to BB storyline. Not crazy about it, but guess they feel it’s necessary.

The more I watch, the more respect I have for the Dad. He stands up for Sheldon but doesn’t isn’t overprotective of him.

George and the show head into that. I'm still trying to figure out how I might be able to impress Meemaw.
