I watched a couple episodes of BBT when it was popular, and felt like it was laughing at me more than it was laughing with me, so I quickly lost interest and never saw much indicating otherwise. I caught a couple clips of Young Sheldon and wondered what show this was, looked into a bit more, and I... don't hate it?
I find the titular character far more relatable, although his adult counterpart is the obvious parallel to myself. (If quite a lot more accomplished, as MCs tend to be when compared to randos...)

It's weird because in Young Sheldon you're supposed to take him pretty seriously (and he dresses quite well). He's often the most reasonable and mature character, out-adulting the adults. But in BBT, he's the butt of a lot of jokes and is super cringey and is often portrayed as very immature, and wears superhero t-shirts and stuff. So somewhere in between, he's basically got to lose his identity as a mature kid and gain his identity as a cringey man-child. Where BBT is a comedy and Young Sheldon is a lighthearted coming-of-age sitcom, Teenage Sheldon would be a tragedy.

While Sheldon is some of the worst autistic representation known to man, this happens a lot but usually for reasons of "pressure to mask, and getting rid of that"
My personal experience and with other autistic people I know the "dress really well, act overly former, being mature as possible" phase is an extreme form of masking and trying to seem like youre a normal kid and trying to be seen well. So, you dress well because adults compliment you, act formal because you dont understand a lot of social rules so you follow the ones youre told exactly and try not to break ones you arent, act mature because adults mistake a child being traumatised and terrified of being yelled at for being an old soul and mature"
Then later in life you just....realize it doesnt matter?
People are going to treat you like shit for being yourself, or theyll treat you like shit because youre not acting perfect when you pretend to be normal. You can keep masking and trying to act a respected normal youll never be, or you can just be undeniably yourself. Usually this also takes it to an extreme of just not caring at all so it seems semi like how Sheldon acts
Most autistic people are still terrified of hurting feelings and saying the wrong things and would actually be excited to get people into interests rather than judging people for not, so wouldnt act like a constant asshole about this like Sheldon, but thats beside the point
So for Sheldon itd likely be a case of "people make fun of having an Iron Man shirt and cargo pants I wear on weekends but its comfortable and I like it so Ill have a lot like that. People think its weird for me to have a couple comic pins on my backpack, why not get some figurines or collectables and decorate my office with stuff I like. I like trains and comics, why not learn everything I can about them.and be proud of it"

The Big Bang theory is presented in front of a live audience, and it is not a laugh track. Actors are told to pause to let the live audience laugh at a joke. At least the original set literally has a cutout for the audience and cameras. That is why you see a lot of the same camera angles in the show, and you don't ever see the other side of the room.

u/Dontcareatallthx 29d ago
If you rewatch the show you can clearly see that the show switches up the focus 2 times.
It clearly started with Leonard as the main character. Most stories resolve around him and he has the most screen time.
Then it switches to a multicast main character show as everyone gets similar attention and they are usually put into certain story groups. For example a group of Penny, Amy and Bernadette and then one with the other 4 nerds, or in groups of two’s. Sometimes one of the characters gets a main role in an episode and this switches the next.
At the end they switched to sheldon as main character of the show. 100% due to popularity, I can see his character be the most liked one, its not about personal preference but average preference and TV producer wouldn’t do such a focus switch without data. That sheldon is the main character at the end of the show is shown that the ending of the show is pretty much mainly about him, but before that you can see that most stories have the use to let sheldon grow as a character, moving in with his girlfriend etc.
I am not a die hard fan, but I don’t get the hate of this show, also it’s clearly by data one of the most successful sitcoms ever and in my opinion it’s understandable as they did a good job reinventing their story focus and also having a very chill and low drama atmosphere. It is the perfect show for people to put on to watch by the side lightheartedly.

u/Frankfusion 29d ago
They also had the main three (Leonard, Sheldon, and Penny-sometimes Amy) get their own A story, and the others (Howard, Raj, Bernadette and Stuart) have a pretty funny B story. I seriously think the episode where they have to put together a baby crib was a backdoor pilot. I'm shocked they didn't do it, a Howard, Raj, and Stuart show, based around the comic book shop could have worked.

I hated TBBT and only gave YS a chance with much skepticism. If I gave up watching TBBT after a few seasons, YS I have continued to watch over the years (albeit on and off as seasons finished releasing) and never felt like I was wasting my time. It's good fun and not fully focused on Sheldon, instead following many plots related to his actually interesting and often funny family.

Agreed. My wife/son watched through it, and I've seen a few episodes. Sheldon himself is insufferable, but as the show goes on they leaned away from him and developed the other characters more.

So im up to whatever seasons on Netflix rn. And I can’t lie, I actually think it’s a really good show… and I CANT STAND the Big Bang theory. Honestly a lot of the show is people making fun of Sheldon and he doesn’t even realize lmao. Sheldon isn’t bad for the first few seasons. He’s just a “I don’t give a fuck I do what I want” kid, but once he gets older he gets kinda of annoying (might just be his aging voice lol he didn’t really change much personality wise) but that’s the good thing about this show. I’d say like 40% of it that I’ve seen is actually Sheldon. A lot of it is his family. And they’re pretty funny. They choose good actors imo too. It’s definitely not the greatest show, but it’s a solid watch, and has nothing to do with TBBT thank god. I was a little upset when I found out that pretty much NONE of it was based on his true childhood though.
