What do you think? Are you a fan of The Big Bang Theory? Will you watch Young Sheldon?
This will be great if only because it takes place int he 1980s
Je suis triste que sa fini
Love BBT, so I’ll see how it is.
Yes, I am a big fan of “The Big Bang Theory”…great show! Looking forward to watching “Young Sheldon” next season. So happy that Jim Parsons is going to be one of the executive producers!!!
No I am not a fan of Big Bang theory it is to silly I am a fan of pure genius as it is more slated on something that could really be available in the future we have enough silly and violence in our country without trying to show our younger generation more ideas
So the guy playing the father has already played a role on the show as Lenard’s bully?
Doesn’t matter if YOUNG SHELDON’S father played as the BULLY. Look at how many times that nurse has played in all sorts of characters in the BIG BANG THEORY. That is BORING! But YOUNG SHELDON should carry on, it brings back how things were, when there wasn’t so many people everywhere. Those were much gentler times. But definately keep the house and everything involved with the show in that era. If they didn’t it would ruin the show. Keep the wonderful Comedy coming. In this crazy world we NEED more COMEDY not less! KEEP it going, we love YOUNG SHELDON………
