Wow, it’s hard to believe we’re already 6 weeks into the semester. I am waiting patiently as Young Sheldon does not come on again until November 2nd.

While I hate to focus on only the negative, for this blog post I want to look at what criticism has been said about Young Sheldon’s first episode.

Although it received an impressive 3.7 rating in adults 18-49 and had 16.6 million viewers, there  are a plethora of negative reviews going around.

TV critic, Danielle Feinberg expressed his opinion in a Hollywood Reporter piece, “context is important for Sheldon to be tolerable.” Such a remark applies to someone like me, who has never watch The Big Bang Theory. He also said “I think Young Sheldon will also be a better show the more it leans on Sheldon’s sister, Missy.” I am interested to see the personality of this character and how she can strengthen the series as a whole.

The buzz around the TV show has remained pretty quiet for the past month since the premier so there is not much of an update on viewership and ratings.
