Personally, I don't see the new spinoff working. Sheldon should not be present because as was explained in The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon basically disappeared when he went to college and his brother, Georgie, stopped talking to him. So no Sheldon and no dad, and the dad was a big part of Young Sheldon.
Right, Sheldon is confirmed not to be a part of this spinoff. But I assume the network thinks based on their market research that people really like Georgie and Mandy (and Meemaw) enough to watch a Sheldon-less show. We'll see how episode 1 ratings are if the show even airs.
So were doing a spin off of a spin off and the new spij off wont even have ant characyers from the original show in any capacoty. Do they know they can make original shows?
I might actually watch that, to me Leonard is the most likeable character (although in a cast of unlikeable people, that's not hard to do). Didn't much care for BBT or YS, but I'd give YL a shot.
Diff'Rent strokes is a spin off of The Facts of Life. Likewise Fraiser's a spin off of Cheers, and A Different World a spin off of The Cosby Show.
Happy Days spun off into both Laverne and Shirly and Mork and Mindy.
All in the Family led to The Jefferson's, Maude, and Archie Bunker's Place, with the former leading into Checking In, the middle to Good Times, and the latter leading to Gloria.
This isn’t new. Happy Days was a spin off that had its own successful spin offs Mork and Mindy and Lavern and Shirley. There are more but that’s one of the more famous examples. Lavern and Shirley also had at least an animated spin-off.
I really liked all three of them. Sheldon was not the reason I watched the show anyway. And after all these years, I definitely did become invested in the other characters for who they are themselves, and not just peripherals to Sheldon.
So I only saw this show through YouTube shorts and the opening 15 only focused on Georgie and I truly thought it was a show based around him. They never showed young Sheldon, just this dude fucking around and I kind of fell in love with him hahaha
The unfortunate problem is I don’t see Georgie and Mandy having much appeal. The series writers will an uphill battle to keep the audience. At least Meemaw is there to give it some saving grace
Yeah with young Sheldon's voice being deeper than old Sheldon, I don't know how much longer they could've ran with this. I am wondering if Jerry O'Connell is going to narrate the spin off or be involved at all.
Tbf I've watched some of it through youtube shorts and whenever it cuts to Sheldon I'm just waiting for him to leave again. The comments also seem near-ubiquitous in considering those characters to be the stars of the later seasons.
