    OUTSTANDING

    This season of Young Sheldon has begun with an Outstanding script with a great deal of redeeming values for this Outstanding cast !! Episode 1 has started the 2020 season with a "Bang" of fresh beginnings and most enjoyable viewing. I am truly excited to enjoy the remaining season episodes !!!

    Wholesome

    This episode is all about the graduation of Sheldon and Missy. The bond between the twins are not show as much, but this is the closest thing ever to that. Sheldon delivering the speech because his sister motivated him and said not to be nervous about it at all and one should face their fear. The expression on the face of Missy when Sheldon told it was because of her, he was able to speak infront of the crowd was wholesome, beautiful and the epitome of the unbreakable bond between siblings. I wish we were to have some more of that in the series. The best episode of all seasons and all reasons.

    Nice episode, and really welcome in this low level/quantity TV show months

    I liked it, and it was actually nice surprise that it still goes on - well, I don't follow TV much, so missed announcements . Don't think though that this was some great episode and that deserves 10. That Meemaw-Dale renewed romance or whatever seemed forced to me. Much better was what happened between 2 graduates - Sheldon and Missy. Was nice to hear voice of Mayim Bialik at the end :-)

    Sheldon said "this is for you" and my heart just melt.

    This episode has one of the greatest scenes I've ever seen in this show. I didn't know a single scene could make me cry. The entire show can be watched so that one could feel this scene. Just so beautiful and heart-warming.

    • Trivia
      This was supposed to be the 3rd season finale, but was delayed until the 4th season due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
    • Goofs
      Sheldon is shown doing his three knocks routine that he did on The Big Bang Theory (2007). However, during "The Big Bang Theory" he had stated that he implemented that habit as a teenager, after walking in on his dad in a compromising position with someone other than his mom. EDIT: But this knock isn't his "The Big Bang Theory" repetitive three-knocks-and-a-name. In this instance, he knocks three times and says "Mom", then he knocks three more times and says "Dad". He doesn't repeat either sequence at all, so, while similar, it's not the same.

      [Offering her a Kleenex]

      Principal Petersen: These things happen. My mother had me when she was young.

      Sheldon Cooper: [Bursts through the door] Sorry to interrupt! I can't find my safety goggles!

      Principal Petersen: Well, they're not here.

      Sheldon Cooper: I have to find them! Nothing's more important than protection!

      [he leaves and the girl starts wailing louder]
