With the addition of Dr. Sturgis, the show has taken the focus off of Sheldon. The show is much better this way. Original review: CBS has advertised the show extensively. And aired the first episode a month before the rest will air. The show is OK, but relies on the the Big Bang spin off, rather than stands as its own. Obviously the talented people who brought you the Big Bang think you will enjoy this look at how Sheldon came to be. However, for the show to work, it must stand alone. This is yet to be proven.

Very entertaining. Helps heal the wound of no more Big Bang Theory. But sort of unfair. I love Jim Parsons, I do. But he took the jobs away from all the people on BBT. But still retained his Sheldon role. Because he does partisapate in Young Sheldon. So this show is very good, but kind of unfair. Just sour grapes from loosing my favorite series.
