Note: this is a spoiler-free advance review of the first episode of Young Sheldon, which will premiere on CBS on Monday, September 25 at 8:30pm EST.
It's a little funny to think that Young Sheldon is considered to be CBS's big gamble of the Fall 2017 TV season. Is it really such a risky move to craft a spinoff of one of the most widely watched sitcom on the air, especially when that spinoff is going to be airing directly after its predecessor every week? By any other network's standards, that would seem like a pretty safe bet.
All that being said, Young Sheldon isn't quite the carbon copy Big Bang Theory prequel fans might be expecting. For one thing, the decision to explore Sheldon Cooper's (Big Little Liars' Iain Armitage) life in West Texas circa-1989 ensures that none of the other Big Bang Theory crew will be stopping by for the occasional guest appearance. Young Sheldon also switches to a single camera format and ditches the studio audience. It features voice-over narration by the adult Sheldon himself, Jim Parsons (the only Big Bang cast member to play a significant role here). Even the general tone of the series is very different. Young Sheldon is less overtly comedic and more sentimental than its parent series. It may not scratch the same itch as The Big Bang Theory, but Young Sheldon might just connect with audiences who have never found Sheldon Cooper's antics appealing before.
