THE STORY
Sheldon has long legs. No, not that part. Sheldon is a character that can keep a show going for ten seasons. With ‘Young Sheldon’, Chuck Lorre found a way to tell more stories about the young genius. The story of a child in a traditional family who needs to deal with the ideals of the family and get familiar with the emotions that run through the family. Now, with the ‘Young Sheldon’ TBS deal, they can tell it to more people than ever.
It is not easy. Sheldon Cooper from ‘The Big Bang Theory’ has never been the best with emotions or social candour. He is dealing with the tantrums of his sister and the different things going on within the family.
How does a genius begin to relate with the humdrum reality of regular life, his father being distant? How is his childhood shaped to create the story that makes the character that people love? The writers were dealing with a dual task of making the show fit into the story of its big brother while also ensuring a unique essence.
‘Young Sheldon’ is a brilliant coming-of-age story, and it’s often hilarious. Unlike ‘The Big Bang Theory’, where humour derives from pop culture and science, the spirit of this show comes from a different strain. The jokes are set up slowly over time, and it hits very well because of the relatable story.
CRITICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
With a better humour quotient and more relatability, ‘Young Sheldon’ has become a monster of its own. It has been hitting many goals during its run, making sure that people can relate to the development of a character.
In ‘The Big Bang Theory’, the characters around Sheldon help the story go forward. Penny, Amy, and Bernadette make the gang of aloof scientists seem relatable and bring the show down on equal footing. They also make the funniest jokes work. But, ‘Young Sheldon’ isn’t dealing with the same characters.
Instead of Penny and Leonard, the young kid is saddled with his mother and father. Instead of Raj and Howard, Sheldon has to deal with his brother and sister. There are also people around him who shape him. The format is also different, moving on from the multi-camera structure of the original to a single-camera setup.
Unlink the original story, the story also explores the quiet life of remote America quite well. The show has been nominated for a Critic’s Choice Television Awards and won a Choice Teen Awards, and other awards because of the brilliant performance from the actors and actresses.
The super package is that of Iain Armitage, the young Sheldon, who takes a delightful approach to deliver the story of coming-of-age that’s very different. And now it will be shown to more people than ever before.
THE SYNDICATION DEAL
Through ‘The Big Bang Theory’ run, it had a TBS deal for cable syndication. Off-the -television it could have been shown on other channels and reach more people. The ‘Young Sheldon’ TBS deal with Warner Brothers will allow WB to show the series on different channels and reach more people as well.
TBBT partly grew to have a global audience because the show was shown on multiple channels. It helped the series reach out to more and more people and helped make the actors into international superstars. ‘Young Sheldon’ inks cable syndication deal with TBS and guarantees that the same success will follow the spin-off too.
