We enjoyed Big Bang Theory, and are fond of Young Sheldon, although I think it is time to end it, as Sheldon is becoming annoying.  The peripheral family characters are OK as a part of the whole, but I don't see them carrying a sitcom.  I don't dislike them, I just don't think they are interesting enough to be leads. 

I could be way wrong though.  

Guess we'll see.

The Georgie/Mandy relationship quickly became the jump-the-shark moment in the series for me.  So, I doubt the spin-off will appeal to me.

I wonder what Iain Armitage will do next.  I saw him frequently when he was probably 3-5 and was hanging out at the Signature Theater, during its Open House every August and when his dad was performing there (I got to talk with his dad once while he was keeping an eye on Iain).  I think the last time I saw him was when Signature was doing a benefit, and he was introduced as just starting to play the lead in Young Sheldon.
