How the hell did they spinoff Young Sheldon?

[โ€“] MimicJar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It's a show about Sheldon's older brother and his first (in universe know to be failed) marriage.

I didn't watch Young Sheldon, so I'm not sure if his brother and his wife can maintain a show. On the one hand it sounds pretty generic, so really if the studio was going to greenlight a generic sitcom anyway, why not use characters some of your audience already knows. Maybe we get something like Frasier.

On the other hand, it sounds generic. Maybe we get something like Joey.
