However, Young Sheldon’s spinoff Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage has plenty of other plot holes to patch up. The sitcom pointedly ended with Georgie and Mandy happily married, even though viewers already know this doesn’t last. In The Big Bang Theory season 11, episode 23, “The Sibling Realignment,” an older Georgie mentioned his ex-wife in passing. This implies that Georgie and Mandy’s relationship is ultimately doomed to end in divorce or separation, as does the title of their spinoff. There are other plot holes Young Sheldon left unfixed which the show’s spinoff can now address in more detail.
Meemaw Was A Different Character In Young Sheldon and TBBT
The Big Bang Theory’s Meemaw Was More Sedate And Less Rebellious
When June Squibb’s version of Meemaw first appeared in The Big Bang Theory season 9, episode 14, “The Meemaw Materialization,” she acted like a sterner, older version of Sheldon’s mother, Mary. Like Mary, Meemaw blithely made some hilariously inappropriate comments but was mostly self-serious in her demeanor. In contrast, Annie Potts’ version of Meemaw from Young Sheldon could not be less like the character’s earlier incarnation in The Big Bang Theory. Potts’ Meemaw was a comically rebellious, hard-drinking, fun-loving party animal who acted as a perfect inversion of her daughter. This ensured that the pair’s dynamic was always filled with tension.
As Mary scrambled to teach her children manners and decorum, Meemaw showed them how to fight, how to cheat, and all the other lessons their mother would rather have avoided. Meemaw’s character change between Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory was dramatic, as the sedate figure from the hit sitcom didn’t resemble Potts’ unapologetic rebel at all. Young Sheldon’s Meemaw even spent years running an illegal gambling room and employed Georgie to keep the place afloat. It is hard to imagine The Big Bang Theory’s Meemaw visiting such an establishment, let alone acting as its proud proprietor.
