Young Sheldon - Seasons 1 & 2 (2017-18)

Created by Steven Molaro and Chuck Lorre (both BBT writers). Young Sheldon is Iain Armitage, his mum (great casting) is Zoe Perry, dad Lance Barber, brother Montana Jordan and sister Raegan Revord. A pleasant surprise to find that 'Meemaw' (Annie Potts, Pretty in Pink, Texasville, Ghostbusters, much on TV.. in fact her name is probably best known for me from Toy Story - she's Bo Peep) is not only lovely to Sheldon but a sassy grandmother with a past who won't take any shit.



Some familiar faces - although that isn't Jack McBrayer as the pastor but Matt Hobby - with Richard Kind, ed Begley Jr. and Wallace Shawn, the last man standing.*

There's a sweet moment at the conclusion of season two in which Sheldon imagines he's the only person who's up at 5AM listening to the Nobel Prize Awards - then we cut to some other young people who we recognise from the BBT...

* A Woody Allen reference.
