Last night, Christina and I watched the last episode of Young Sheldon. Of course, this TV show is a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory which we also liked a lot.
When the TV show started in 2017, Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage), Missy Cooper (Raegan Revord) and Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) were still very young. Over the years, they would grow in front of us and become very good actors.
George Cooper Sr. (Lance Barber), the dad, and Mary Cooper (Zoe Perry), the mum, are very good too but Christina and I have a soft spot for the oldies, especially Meemaw (Annie Potts) who is fantastic as the eccentric, fun and practical grandma. Dale Ballard (Craig T. Nelson) is funny too.
Later in the show, Georgie settles with Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment) and have a kid. Mandy’s parents, Jim McAllister (Will Sasso) and Audrey McAllister (Rachel Bay Jones) are great.
Pastor Jeff Hodgkins (Matt Hobby) and Peg (Nancy Linehan Charles) are hilarious. I like that, from the outset, Sheldon is an atheist and cannot comprehend religious people at all, including his mum.
At the school where Sheldon was as a kid and where George and Missy still frequent, Principal Petersen (Rex Linn), Coach Wayne Wilkins (Doc Farrow) and Mr. Givens (Brian Stepanek) are hilarious. Sheldon has two friends, Tam (Ryan Phuong) and Billy Sparks (Wyatt McClure), whose mum is Brenda Sparks (Melissa Peterman).
And, last but not least, at East Texas Tech, Sheldon has to interact with President Hagemeyer (Wendie Malick) who is quite fantastic, Dr John Sturgis (Wallace Shawn) (who falls in love with Meemaw and is Sheldon’s confidant) as well as Dr Linkletter (Ed Begley Jr.) (who, initially, is Dr. John Sturgis nemesis but becomes colleagues and friends later on).
We are going to miss Young Sheldon but it looks like that there’s going to be a spinoff to the spinoff. Georgie and Mandy’s First Wedding is going to start soon.
I wonder what Iain Armitage and Raegan Revord will do next though. I think they have a bright future.
