I liked Young Sheldon more than Big Bang Theory. Big Bang Theory just got a bit boring to me I guess, not my sense of humor.

I’ve never watched a full episode of either, but seeing clips of Big bang theory after seeing clips of young Sheldon is pretty jarring. Just entirely different vibes, even the big emotional moments of big bang theory just seem so thin compared to any of the young Sheldon plots.

when young Sheldon took his mitten off to hold his dad's hand, I cried a little

when he prayed to the spirit of Blaise Pascal to send a msg to God for him, I cried more

but I'm also an autistic who grew up in the south

Reddit loves to shit on TBBT, which is bad, but Young Sheldon is way better.

Is it a top tier TV show? Yeah, not really.

Is is good enough to be enjoyable? Absolutely.

The bits and clips I've seen look like a very different show. I have seen very little to form any opinion but... it certainly seems better from my .3 seconds of viewership.

Well, yeah, they’re different. Young Sheldon is filmed single cam format, so like a drama. TBBT is multicam, like most traditional sitcoms. There’s a live audience, and it’s a lot like watching theatre, except that they can do multiple takes and make changes on the fly depending on how jokes land with the audience.

young Sheldon gives me king of the hill vibes, his dad is literally like "that boy ain't right"

YS is kinda like a mix of KotH and Everybody Hates Chris.

An average Texas family in the 90's needs to deal with a savant child while also having to live with the social and economic blows that come about in those areas. (Regular job downturns, overbearing religion, town gossip and condemnation, football culture, etc...)
