While TBBT , more or less, had each season equal a year (basically moved in real time), the creators of YS specifically said a season of YS doesn't necessarily equal a full year.   While they may get by with that for a while, having preteens on the show kinda forces the show to move at least somewhat close to real time.

We have reached Spring Break in Sheldon's freshman college year, which means he'll have had his 12th birthday. Mary says Missy isn't a teenager yet, which fits. Georgie is supposed to be about five years older,which would also fit, since he's left school, but is apparently young enough to have stayed on.  They've covered two and a half years of aging in four and a half years

Well, I never thought i'd say that but I'm really starting to dislike the Mary character! 

George Sr comes across  as a man who has been beaten down by life . While he may not be the perfect husband or father, he's still a decent family man ( until he cheats on his wife of course) , I 'd even go as far as saying he's a better parent than Mary. 

I feel increasingly sorry for Missy. 

Sheldon looks more and more like the character we got to meet on TBBT. I had a hard time reconciling Sheldon as a kid and the adult we saw on the show. 

I feel that it's really the Meemaw character that carries the show.

Sheldon's relationship to Missy and George Sr. carry this show, along with a far too infrequent Paige

Meemaw seems to be where all the junk plotlines come from(are they ever going to circle back to her and Sturgis?), and what they've chosen to do with Georgie was just to get some eye candy on the series (does that even work out according to TBBT canon?)

Show was at its best the first two seasons judging from my binge, the family drama is what keeps me invested for 2024's season and that's still written fairly well (no telling what fights Mary will pick when she gets back)

Weird to see characters like Linkletter be such miserable jerks that they make Sheldon sympathetic

I was watching Young Sheldon on a local FOX affiliate which shows it and TBBT five nights a week. And there was a commercial with some promotional material for the show and it showed a scene where the family was dressed up like characters from The Wizard Of Oz. Which episode was this?

It's weird, I have seen all the episodes and I don't remember ever seeing that scene. I have seen a picture of the family all dressed up in their costumes, it's said to be from an episode in season 3!

I don't recall seeing it either. But in this scene, it looks like: 

  1. Mary is Glinda
  2. George is the lion
  3. Georgie is the Scarecrow
  4. Missy is Dorothy
  5. I don't recall what Sheldon and Meemaw were dressed as because the scene went by so quick.
