We got the Young Sheldon season premiere press release today and, for the first time in twelve years, no The Big Bang Theory release.

I've now split this thread into discussion which took place before Young Sheldon premiered, which is now in a development discussion thread, and conversation that took place later. I've been meaning to do this for a while but the forum system balked at the idea of splitting off twenty pages of posts, so I had to do it manually in the database. I have also moved the Season 1 and Season 2 episode discussion threads into their own sub-boards. The Season 3 posts will go in the main YS forum for the duration of the season.
