Funeral

There are enough words that can say what a great job they did on this episode. It hits every point on the emotional spectrum. I've done my share of crying at a few really sad movies, but this is my first time bawling during a sitcom and I'm sure I'm not alone. The writing in this episode is stellar. The way the writers were able to tug at your heartstrings from start to finish was epic. But the acting of all the primaries was even more stellar. I can't say enough about the quality of the performances of all of the actors. They hit it out of the park with this one, every single one of them. This episode will go down as one of the greatest sitcom episodes of all time.

What can I say? After we all had our hearts ripped out last week it was so good to see the first act with the characters not in tears but delivering the comedy we have loved since day one of this show. Then the scenes with George Sr. Started and what could Sheldon have said to his father that he didn't. Very poignant. Also seeing many of the characters making final appearances even if for a second was a real treat. I was especially happy to see Brenda and Billy Sparks. The scene with Billy and Missy was so precious.

Then comes the second act. The funeral. I cried. Everyone I've talked to that watched cried. What a powerful show all of us fans have fallen in love with the Cooper family because their story is real and it hits so close to home.

I would have never expected Young Sheldon to be the show to get me to cry, I never cry to television. Grave of the fireflies wasn't enough, hachiko nearly did, but this got me there. It does an extremely good job of depicting how different people grieve, especially how children and young adults deal with it. I want to give special praise to how they depicted Sheldon's grief and how others react to it. Extremely well done.

Intermitting the points of grief with comedy allows the show to really breathe. You get to appreciate the character development that has gone into the show. Rarely does a season finale get to be this complete.

I jst wanted to wrap this series and move on. I watched many emotional scenes but only got to teary eyed. But this episode my tears won't stop rolling...maybe cuz of Sheldon, he made us laugh so much. But Why..Tears?

It's not even emotional when I saw all the characters comeback, and i almost hate my father, George also didn't care much for Sheldon, Ian Armitage is not a good actor grown up, Mary was only one who truly cared for George and then Missy and then George Jr. All their reactions didn't matter much for me. The alternative reality scene and how ppl grieve differently ...I was truly heart broken somewhere during this, needs lot of self introspection.

I'm not even a long time fan of Young Sheldon or the Big Bang Theory but my brother is so I dip into it sometimes. I've also watched lots of clips online for a while and I always enjoyed this family and these characters so my heart was torn in half after George Cooper's death. Due to this tragedy, me and some of the fam sat down to watch this episode and it was honestly so difficult to contain my emotions. So many scenes from Missy looking at George's empty chair to of course the funeral itself, I just wanted to burst into tears. Because of my attachment to these characters it really felt like I was there during the funeral.

This genuinely was one of the most devastating and heartbreaking episodes of television I've ever sat through. I find it odd that such a comedic and lighthearted show has ended on such a depressing note, but we all knew it was going to happen.
