The actor who plays Georgie is a genuine find, his character really developed well during the course of Young Sheldon. Mandy is a suitable sidekick, but Georgie really is the heart and soul of the show. Sadly they dropped the Single Camera film format for Multi-camera digital and felt the WRONG need to add that incipit laugh track, ala the new Frazier. The look and feel is off and the Laugh Track is beyond annoying an unnecessary. Funny, they tried to explain it away in the narrative. Didn't work. IT IS NOT NECESSARY AND IS DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING. Even worse, the laugh tracks they use today are so blatantly phony it' pathetic. One of the reasons BBT and YS worked so well was the peripheral characters. They were all wonderful. I don't really see that here. While Mandy's Dad is pretty good, her mom is extremely annoying and one dimensional. Any stroll through past sitcom success stories and failures will show you the ones that succeeded, like King of Queens, Cheers, Seinfeld did so because, in addition to solid main characters, the peripheral side ones were equally interesting, funny and added something to the show. Think Kripke, Will Wheaton, Billy Sparks, Professor Sturgis. The new Frazier fails because other than Frazier, the rest of the cast is boring and bland. Kevin Can Wait failed because, other than Kevin James, the rest of the cast were boring and bland.
