Sheldon being upset that nobody came to his party, and worrying that he'll always be alone, only for it to show his future friends and wife as children is really heartwarming, and resonates with anyone who's struggled with making connections, and that you won't always feel isolated.

Even though I don’t live in a tornado zone I find the episodes with the tornadoes scary to say the least

[@Lady-Kanerasoka]

Same here. Tornadoes are my all time biggest fear because they’re such ruthless monsters that can kill and/or destroy without hesitation and the season 6 finale is solid proof. I live in Colorado Springs and most people don’t even know that half of Colorado actually is in Tornado Alley, but that’s probably because we’re known for the most avalanche deaths every year due to our ski resorts. The eastern half of Colorado is a lot of flatlands and prairies like Kansas and we can get some really severe tornadoes. Colorado Springs, despite being at the foot of the mountains, butts up right against Tornado Alley and we can get tornadoes outside or even inside the city, but they’re usually very brief. Last one to touch down inside the city was summer 2023 in the northern part of town (one of our several unincorporated communities) and lasted only a few minutes

Missy's experience on her baseball team mirrors Penny Proud's experience on her football team in The Proud Family. Someone on the Young Sheldon team must have seen that episode which gave them the idea on how to deal with prejudice. Yes, sports like baseball and football did start out with just men playing, but as time went on and the eras of life changed, more and more women and girls began playing sports as well, starting with the All Girls Professional Baseball League that ran between 1944 and 1956, as WW2 threatened to end Major League Baseball in 1943. The MLB and other baseball leagues worldwide would likely not exist today if not for the AGPBL back then.

When my beloved grandmother died and I off-handedly mentioned that while she did believe in God but also believed in evolution, just like me, the coworker said my grandmother is in hell for believing that. I was so mad I wanted to beat the living shit out of her. Unfortunately my former boss didn’t help at all because, while she was religious and also believed in evolution as well, she was friends with the coworker and didn’t want to “ruffle any feathers.” The coworker also believed she was right about anything and everything just because she heard it on the news and when I tried to present her evidence to the contrary, especially examples among my family and friends, she would roll her eyes and call me a liar and say my parents should have raised me better

11:32 “What good is being smart if you’re all alone?” That line made me fear greatly for Paige going forward, as it seemed to suggest her mental health spiralling & potentially heading towards suicide - & although it would be a tough subject to breach, I would ultimately hope Paige gets the support she needs & her parents get their act together & see how their actions have affected her & stop denying the part they played (especially Paige’s mother)

[@isabellamurphy69]

Being a child of divorce 😢 I understand how Paige feels. Many times I will be in my moms time and there will still be a week untill I am able to see my dad and that gets my upset because I love my dad and I hate going twice weeks without my dad. Yet during my dad’s time because of his work schedule I see my mom practically everyday. I miss the days when we could all hang hour together and have fun. I miss the days when I didn’t have to wait 2 weeks just to see my dad. It gets really upsetting and I NEED my friends to keep me focused on things that keep me happy.

Young Sheldon handled family dynamics very well. I’m in my teens, and my parents have really gotten to the point of taking their marriage off of cruise control, trying to sustain it. My little brother has grown an aversion to the later episodes of this show because of it all.

I think the approach to these issues was very straight forward and integrated quite well. It lacked the whole "on a very special episode of XX" we got on TV in the 80s and 90s when a sitcom brought forth a very serious issue for a one time shot. In quality shows like Young Sheldon, you feel like these issues are part of the characters as they move forward.

@@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl it’s not that there weren’t ideas. But that the Timeline in which Sheldon graduated from East Texas Tech and moved to California was getting closer and closer. Once that happens the show switches from Young Sheldon to Big Bang. Sure they could crossover into the gang but that would come at a cost. For one the integrity of how we know those events to have happened would likely change. Young Sheldon is narrated by Sheldon after he develops emotionally and starts a family and is reminiscing on his childhood. You can often hear him talking about realization and changing his opinion on his family especially his father. That bit of information would give the show a different feeling. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Sheldon in big bang until the later seasons once he had developed emotionally. I would watch it on and off throughout its run never really following it. I fancied Young Sheldon much better because every storyline didn’t always have Sheldon in it. Which seems odd considering the shows are centered around him but, he can be such an intense character at times that the little breaks feel needed at least for me. I also think that they made the switch to Mandy and Georgie to test the idea of the spin-off. The show was stilling bringing in massive viewership.

[@holdingpointaviation]

Although its only minor I think showing how the worlds view changed over the early 1990's with homosexual relationships is quite interesting as seen in season 7 when Missy tells George Sr her boyfriend is gay so she wouldn't get in trouble and George's and Taylor's reaction afterward perfectly captures that

[@niketesambrosiosdelagrece2266]

Moreover, the divorce of Paige's parents was not normal, but rather a family fight. A lot of people just divorce - maybe amicably - and just move on. But it seemed that Paige's parents' divorce had simply created chaos, strife and estrangement. And they all started behaving immaturely, irresponsibly (especially in front of a child who was in the middle of the chaos and their war). Plus, Paige blamed herself for family breakup (since they often disputed because of her). I just want to say that a lot of people are downplaying it and saying that Paige is over dramatizing it.. It was pretty serious, and it wasn't Paige's only problems. Paige is the best. I'm upset she wasn't in the final season.

They addressed sexism in season 3 episode 7, not just boys hating girls but also girls hating girls. But you're absolutely right. There have been many instances of of girls bullying boys or being violent against boys and the only punishments we ever saw were Missy being ejected from the game (when she was merely fighting back and the boy was the one who started it) and Mary getting fired (as a punishment for Missy hitting a boy in Sunday school, though I fail to see how anyone could blame Mary for that)
