You always know that comedy and logic can coexist in a show
and that show can still be wildly entertaining.

It not just a horse term and has nothing to do with taking charge.  It’s an expression used in the south or west, indicating joy or enthusiasim.  It’s use as a horse term comes from the rider exclaiming their joy for  the ride.  If sex wasn’t good, Penny would hardly be enjoying or being enthusiastic for the “ride”. 

Yes, agreed.

So does Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeehaw 

In my recollection in the old westerns one would hear this often at the old barn dances.

'The Big Bang Theory' Will Meet 'Young Sheldon' in Time-Jumping Crossover

The space-time continuum on The Big Bang Theory is about to be disrupted.

A December episode of the CBS comedy will feature a brief crossover with its spinoff, Young Sheldon. Three of that show's stars — Iain Armitage, Lance Barber and Montana Jordan — will make cameos as their characters.

CBS and producer Warner Bros. TV are keeping details under wraps, but considering Young Sheldon takes place almost 30 years prior to the present-day setting of Big Bang, some sort of explanation, be it a dream sequence or a wormhole, might be necessary.

Armitage plays the young version of Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), who starts attending high school at age 9 in his East Texas hometown. Barber plays Sheldon's dad, George, and Jordan is Sheldon's older brother, Georgie (Jerry O'Connell has played grown-up George Jr. in a few Big Bang episodes).

The Big Bang Theory has featured adult versions of Young Sheldon characters before, including O'Connell's adult Georgie and Robert Wu as the grown-up Tam, Sheldon's childhood friend. Laurie Metcalf played Sheldon's mom, Mary, on Big Bang for years before Young Sheldon cast Metcalf's real-life daughter, Zoe Perry, as the younger version of the character in the spinoff.

I wonder if there is there a limit on gifs you can attach to a post? I'd like to post 100 facepalm gifs right now.

Thanks for the article, Vonmar.

I'm guessing they'll find a video tape while Shamy are going through Sheldon's old stuff looking for a new scientific idea to pursue.

Or perhaps Meemaw is downsizing and sends it to them.

[joyceraye]

I don't see why they need a crossover actually.  Georgie came to the wedding and we've found out what happened with Tam. That was all that was necessary.

If we've got to fit in an episode about somebody's childhood,  I'd rather find out why Howard's father left him when he was eleven and didn't keep in touch. They can always do another YS series if there's more of Sheldon's childhood to explore.

I can't believe tptb think this will make the final season great but i guess you have to make money any way you can

Yeah  I guess this is part of their EPIC season promotion.  I think it is just a shameless way to build up YS.  What can they possibly show here: that his father was not the drunk he portrayed him to be?  Geez, KMN

[bfm]

Unnecessary. Simply unnecessary.

Completely disappointing.  And to echo @bfm completely unnecessary.  Does anyone know if YS has slipped in their ratings?  Are they not holding onto the TBBT audience?  We have already had the first 7 episodes supposedly written before anyone knew the end was coming.  To add crossover episodes detracts (for me anyway) from a final season that has been for the most part run-of-the-mill.

Yes.  #lettbbtbe

They haven't really slipped much, it gets around 2 million fewer viewers than TBBT before DVR figures and any adjustments.  It's never retained all the audience from the TBBT (1st episode maybe was close).

This is the most lacklustre season I have seen since probably Season 3 and injecting ideas, scenes, cameos or other stories from the other show that I have no intention or desire to watch isn't going to change that.

Disappointing that one of my all-time favourite tv shows that I have got so much enjoyment from and met friends over is going out with such a whimper.

Well, it's like flogging a dead horse.

I can only agree with all your posts, totally unnecessary in my opinion with more characters from YS on Tbbt final season.

They should keep "YS" in "YS" and "TBBT" in "TBBT"!!
