Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaZoe Perry is the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf of The Big Bang Theory (2007). This is the second time she has played a younger version of one of her mother's characters. The first time was when she played a younger version of her mother's character in Roseanne (1988).
- GoofsSheldon's sister teases him in church about his "balls". Sheldon replies that his testicles "haven't descended yet" because he's only nine. But, boys' testicles descend at birth. It is a strange myth which many people seem to believe, that testicles somehow "descend" at puberty. The reality is, even little boys have descended testicles. As a boy genius, Sheldon should know that about himself.

Featured review
Boring and Annoying
I gave the pilot a chance, given the excellent quality of it's "mothership" The Big Bang Theory, but had my suspicions that it would not live up to it. What give TBBT its appeal are the nerdy characters in awkward situations. It even has lost some of it's shine because it used to be mainly about Leonard and Penny, the awkward guy and the girl out of his league, a situation many of us could relate to. Sadly now it's all about Sheldon, a funny character whose main quality is being annoying.
Now, to make a series completely orbit around an annoying character with an annoying mother, an annoying brother and an annoying sister, without the jokes (didn't see any on the pilot) will result in an annoying series.
Gave it a chance, moving on to Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams, Inhumans, The Orville (excellent by the way), ST Discovery, or Dirk Gently's Hollistic Detective Agency (weird but really fun).
