I don't know, he is funny becouse he is an awkward adult, not sure if will work the same as a child.

Yeah his life with his mom was only funny in big picture form. It didn't seem like the details would be very funny at all.

And could they use that same actress to play his mom?

I guess i should have watched the video first. Doesn't look too bad, but I liked the actress who plays his mom right now better than that one.

This looks dumb. Stupid idea for a spin off, he works better as an adult not an awkward kid in the 90s... I have no idea how this got greenlit.

I want to say the actress playing his mom on young sheldon is the daughter of Laurie Metcalf who plays his mom on big bang.

Jim parsons is gay. They probably pulled him into a room and said "we want to do your next project, tell us what it is"

They had a hard on for a spinoff, and really would any of those characters work on their own? Sheldon definitely wouldn't. They could probably follow penny and leonard if the gang breaks up in the series finale, but they're basically the central characters of the current show. Other than that, who? Penny's old dumdum boyfriend who now owns a business?

What the hell is this trying to be? It looks like it starts as a straight up sitcom (like Big Bang Theory), but by the end of the trailer it's morphed into a feel-good dramedy. Pick one!

Raj might be able to do it,
his family is pretty good and established
just have him take a new job and move in with his sister

This looks fucking awful. When I first read about it I saw the possibilities and thought it maybe had potential to be good, but that trailer was bad.

Trailer was funnier than I expected, and I actually really like this version of his mom. I might watch it, but if I ever get called on to do a Nielsen rating I'll make sure to watch anything but this, because Chuck Lorre is a cuck faggot who should burn in Hell!

Big hit crazy buzz and wanted to start up something from it.

Not like it could end the whole thing.....
What could happen!?

I almost feel like the link to BBT hurts more than helps. The trailer looked ok and a story about a way too smart/neurotic kid isn't bad.

I feel like the only spin offs that work are the ones that take an established character n a completely different direction.

Like Frasier.

The mother will have to be the focus of the show. BBT Sheldon is basically a very tall child. Transplanting the same writing sensibility into an actual child is going to fall flat fairly quickly.

That's right. You couldn't have 60 year old Laurie as his mom, so just get the literal younger version.

Also can't watch Pondy being a wholesome dad.
