    Stop Gap Episode

    This was not one of the better episodes and yes, I am a HUGE Young Sheldon Fan. I feel that this was just an added show for the season's line up to fill in the gap for the inevitable conclusion. Meemaw has an ankle bracelet....... The Another Johnny Outhouse stinks....... Mee maw has money hidden........ yadda yadda yadda. Also, if this wasn't the final season, it should be and NOT because of the time line. It's because that Sheldon towers over everybody and he's NOT a "Mighty Little Man" anymore plus his voice is a very nice baritone. I will add this.... The reason that Sheldon on TBBT says nasty things about his Father is because anytime he has been let down, he always talks about that person or a situation in the most negative way. He ALWAYS needed his Dad and when he dies, Sheldon felt as if he left him. I also feel that something terrible happened to Paige (Suicide?) that made Sheldon completely erase her from his mind. The Meemaw thing has me puzzled. Stay Tuned. I know that the rest of the series will be great but this particular one seemed like a "Fill In The Blanks" episode.

    • Trivia
      When Sheldon sees the blue porta-potty, he imagines it as the Police Box from Doctor Who. He is then seen dressed like the Doctor. He is, in fact, dressed like the Seventh Doctor and the era-accurate theme plays, which makes this period-specific to the time setting of this story.

      Connie's ankle monitor changes from her right ankle, when first attached and when she shows it to Georgie, to her left ankle, when Dale later asks her if she wants to go get liquor.
    • Quotes

      Rich: [about the ankle monitor] You've got a fifty-yard radius from the base. It'll beep when you get close to the edge. If you cross it, we get a call. If you tamper with it, we get a call.

      Coach Dale Ballard: Will it give her a little zap?

      Rich: No.

      Coach Dale Ballard: Well, how's she gonna learn?

      Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker: Will it beep if I kill him?

      Rich: As long as it's within fifty yards, go for it.
