Young Sheldon, season three. Usual rules, don't post spoilers before the episode airs. Individual threads are always welcome, but this gives us a place to discuss it as the season progresses.

Without BBT, this has become the tentpole of CBS on Thursdays. A heavy load, but I'm sure young Sheldon can handle it . Over the first two seasons, this has become one of my favorite shows.

New intro!

It looks like the preacher has a brother.

Wonder if Dr. Sturgis is coming back at all this season?

Did I miss something?

 

[LoadStar]

Did I miss something?

I think he's remarking on the similarity in appearance between the child psychologist and Pastor Jeff.

There is no chance they didn't intentionally do that. And it worked!

 

[LoadStar]

I don't know that it was intentional in any way. I'm not sure what they'd be going for if it were.

By the way, that character has been on twice previous to this episode.

Yeah, I knew that. Sure, yep, I remember now.

Hey, what is this, a test?

 

[Agatha Mystery]

I love the throwback to "I'm not insane. My mother had me tested" from BBT. And we get to see why Georgie makes a good tire salesman. I'm glad something went well for Georgie finally.

Oh. The doctor was in two episodes in season 1. I don't thing it was intentional at all.

 

[Tony_T]

New intro with all cast members.

 

[stellie93]

I thought the doctor was the preacher at first, but then he wasn't ditsy enough.

 

[astrohip]

We got plenty of the preacher this week. Poor guy, to have Mary Cooper as his conscience.

Another stellar episode.

 

[Mikeguy]

Still lovin' Missie. Georgie is starting to grow more on me as well.

And I saw so many Laurie Metcalf/Mary Cooper-TBBT mannerisms in Zoe Perry/Mary Cooper-YS's performance this week--it almost was like a drinking game.

 

[JYoung]

"No wonder Sturgis went crazy."

 

[Donbadabon]

Missy was on point this episode. She never fails to crack me up.

We got plenty of the preacher this week. Poor guy, to have Mary Cooper as his conscience.

Another stellar episode.

And Missy Cooper

 

[Mikeguy]

It's humorous--I remember 2 years ago when people were debating, pre-airing, if the show would/could be any good.

 

[Bierboy]

I'm really missing Dr. Sturgis; I hope, at some point, he returns.

I still remember his breakdown episode and think that Wallace Shawn deserved a guest-star Emmy award for that performance.

 

[DevdogAZ]

Still loving this show. Very glad they changed the intro to recognize that this is an ensemble show, not just a show about Sheldon. Frequently, the plots and scenes with the other family members are much more compelling than those involving Sheldon.
