I think it's VERY bad although I concede the casting is pretty good. But I don't think there is any chance at all of high school Amy.

No high school Amy, I'm sure.

What's bad about YS ? Mistakes in the scenarios ? Inaccurate scripting ? Anachronisms ? Poor acting ? Unlikely characters ?

New sequel: Hofstadter Acres

Leonard decides to quit physics and buy some farm land in Nebraska (near Penny's family) and make a go of it. Penny's brother becomes a (court appointed for community service) farm hand who keeps calling Leonard his dad.

Sounds like a good idea.  I'd like to see the Wolowitzes in a remote island scientific community where advanced secret work is going on. They're both making a very valuable contribution. Our other scientists get contacted from time to time for their input. The community is very tight-knit. There's a lot of cutting-edge technology,some of which the public doesn't know has been invented yet. I daresay some of the items could be shipped out secretly to be tested on the Hofstadter farm.

Do you really think YS is bad ? I not only think it's good but I like it.

I have been force fed a few minutes of it a couple of times.  To me it is more Leave it to Beaver than TBBT.  In fact the Beaver and Kid Sheldon kind of merge in my mind.  Of course that could be because I am old.   Jim’s voiceover Is of course a twist. It seems more Walton’s than Goldberg’s.  And I don’t think it adds anything for any viewers who don’t watch TBBT.  I don’t think it is a bad show, it just doesn’t interest me much.  I do wonder what kind of success it would have had minus TBBT and my guess is not much.

I agree, although I have not watched or plan on watching "YS".

Too much changing of previous TBBT canon.

YS has a wonderful cast. Many weeks last year I enjoyed it more than the TBBT episode. It is a far better experience than I was expecting at the start.

More like The Wonder Years I think. But then toss in a little Wallace Shawn.

With Wallace Shawn (Princess Bride) and Annie Potts (Ghost Busters) I think they are on to something  Perhaps it should have been named My Meemaw.

I'll take your word for it, as I refuse to watch "YS".

The problem is even 11 is a lot of seasons. I don't think I have watched much more than eight seasons of anything else. I think they are doing very well for a show going into season 12. Some episodes towards the end of season 11 were top notch.

In my opinion, the worst TBBT Episode is better than the best YS Episode. I base that on I don't like YS and I've never seen one second of a single YS Episode. I watch one show with Sheldon Cooper, I don't need another one.

Saw a bit of YS. It was cute. Its more in a 70's type format. Yes like Leave it to Beaver, The Wonder Years, Brady Bunch. Sheldon is just as obnoxious as a kid than he is as an adult. It does kinda contradict alot of TBBT cannon. Or reset it, recton etc. I dont find it all that funny. Most likely I don't find anything about it all that subtantial. TBBT is obviousley more original. But i well say this, the fact that some say its better than TBBT right now. No surprises their. But prob suggests most of the writers creativity is going into that show. And whats left goes into TBBT.

That sounds interesting. Makes me think about watching it. NOT!

Just a weird but possibly fun thought...

Katy Perry Reveals She'd Like to Film a Comedy After Touring..

-“I would do a comedy,” she added, saying she would probably play the part of a comedic best friend.-

Wouldn’t she a perfect match to our unfortunate fellow Raj and his little Cinnamon? 

(R: Oh, if she's scared, you can sing to her. She likes Katy Perry you. Oh, but don't do "Firework". That gets her all riled up.)

I've watched three or four times and I have never had a problem with the casting. It's just not the family as it was presented on TBBT and I don't like that.

I haven't watched it and from what I have read on that show, I believe you are completely right. Hence the reason I don't watch. From what I have read, the acting (Cast) is fine. It just seems they are trying to change everything bad that happened in Sheldon's childhood. He does have an eidetic memory, or so the writers have led us to believe.

That's understandable. When one has a view in one's head it's annoying to have that interfered with. It must be like seeing a televised version of a favourite book or a radio programme that's nothing like you pictured. Irritating. However, the Cooper family presented in TBBT was based largely on a child's or adolescent's memories of his view of things and what as an adult he chose to say about them. So, I don't apply an excess of  credibility to Sheldon's sayings although for a decade they were all we had. The negative things Sheldon and Mary said about George Senior have yet to be shown in YS but it doesn't mean they won't be.  There's an explanation of why Sheldon was given the impression his father wasn't very bright. Others may well come up.  For my part I just see the same situation from more than one angle.

I guess I just don't expect Sheldon's account of people to be anything like what a more typical persons perception would be. He has also described Leonard a washed up physicist who should perhaps teach history.

Leonard has also despaired of where his physics work was going, and I think he'd be a great history teacher, but I don't actually expect to see that.

The problem is that apparently, the writers don't.

They remember Sheldon was due to leave high school at eleven. He's already there and he's nine. They remember how he tried to buy uranium. They remember Missy was his twin and his mother went to a church that believed the whole of The Bible was to be taken literally. We've seen Billy Sparks and his chicken. We've seen a dog that frightened him. We've seen the origin of making contracts with people. We even know why he took against geologists. We met the psychologist who tested Sheldon and the feisty Meemaw one could imagine bashing a possum. Pop-pop is of course dead and there was mention of Mary's brother Edward. Professor Proton is on the TV. There's more but my memory isn't up to everything.

Of course we won't see it. Sheldon is delusional at times.
