    This episode reminds me a lot of the family entertainment we the (more mature) TV viewers were exposed to when the 1957 family sitcom "Leave It To Beaver" ruled the Nielsen ratings some 6o years earlier. As young Sheldon decides to dismantle his families refrigerator because he constantly hears it humming his father George Sr is livid that he has to pay a repairman $200 to put it back together again.

    So George Sr. initiates that dreaded father and son talk in Sheldon 's bedroom and George Sr tells Sheldon that he is going to have to pay the $200 back by finding a part time job delivering newspapers regardless of the outside weather conditions. Sheldon shares his bedroom with his twin sister and their interaction although sometimes mischievous can be summed up quite lovingly when Sheldon's sister Missy witnesses her twin brother crying after George has finished scolding Sheldon. Missy tells Sheldon that his crying is interrupting her ability to really enjoy the moment as she hugs him tightly to quell his tears.

    All six (6) family members including Meemaw (grandma) sit down for dinner with Sheldon in an uncharacteristic foul mood mouthing off to his father when George Sr lovingly follows Sheldon once again back to Sheldon's bedroom, not for a deserving spanking, but for a surprise discussion on that life is not always fair.

    Sheldon gets his dad's message in spades that when you make a mistake there are consequences and sometimes hard work follows, and the twins love for one another is evident.

    This is not light fluffy comedy, but a good reminder for us baby boomers of some of our own family experiences that helped shape us into the person(s) we are today. As Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) narrates to the audience how he felt at the moment as young Sheldon we are reminded of some great life lessons that are heartwarming, just like this great TV series.

    Young Sheldon

    Young Sheldon; a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory, that was created for the fans of Sheldon Cooper is on the contrary, more disappointing for the viewers to watch their beloved character being ripped off by dull writing. Its primary objective from the first episode wasn't set off to create a humorous environment which would have been suffice but as it started aging on screen the target started to blur out and is now shooting arrows in the dark confusing and disappointing the viewers from the offered thin material.

    Ian Hermitage at the center of it is palpable for this tone of the series and is appreciative in its role. The relationship between MeeMaw and Sheldon isn't coming off as anticipated even though the genuine effort is clearly visible and admirable. The narrative often attempts to weave out a morale out of the daily conflicts that usually goes around in one's house, but at the compromise of the integrity and the quality of the product, it surely isn't adequate enough to be appreciated.

    Focusing on the adult socialization and conversations has always worked and came off in a bit mature sense and addition to that, just to spice it up, the younger characters meddling on their business works like a charm and offers enough laugh especially from Sheldon's perspective. The sibling relationship too, is aptly constructed if not executed, but amidst all these hokum, it still comes out in the limelight shining bright and wise.

    Season 02

    After a disappointing start from the previous season, the expectation might have gone lower but the necessity is still of quite larger margin and if doesn't evolve any characters more than their offered one-dimension, it still ought to project gripping and enthralling acts.

    A High Pitched Buzz And Training Wheels

    There is no zip to the storytelling that it aspires to achieve, the gags are scattered into bits and pieces and can easily be filtered or edited out from the actual plot track yet somehow Harmitage attempting to make you chuckle with a bicycle, works.
