I could really use some help down at the tire store.
00:03
Really? Selling tires? You are not gonna regret this.
00:06
Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for how the Big Bang Theory
00:11
prequel Young Sheldon has been shifting the narrative ahead of its Georgie and Mandy-centric
00:16
spinoff. If you're not caught up or haven't watched The Big Bang Theory, this is your
00:21
spoiler warning. Do you think I'm not all in, but I am.
00:25
Okay, I'm in too.
00:27
10. Sheldon Heads to Caltech
00:32
In Season 7, multiple universities start competing for Sheldon to complete his post-grad education
00:38
with them. Eventually, he narrows it down to Caltech and MIT, a decision that undoubtedly
00:44
shocked countless Big Bang fans. Perhaps I don't give your MIT education enough credit.
00:50
However, as soon as he sets foot in Massachusetts for a tour,
00:53
it becomes clear that sunny California is the right choice.
00:57
Caltech? Caltech!
01:01
And so, as we know from The Big Bang Theory, that's where we find him. So with Sheldon
01:07
far from the rest of his family, it's easier to transition the focus onto other members.
01:12
If you're worried about being far away, they're all offering to pay for travel expenses so you
01:17
can come home for the holidays. But to be clear, you don't have to.
01:21
We don't need to follow the titular character to Caltech because that's where this story
01:25
started anyway.
01:27
9. Financial Troubles
01:30
Since the early days of Young Sheldon, Georgie has shown his knack for business. However,
01:35
his entrepreneurial skills truly shine when he partners up with Connie for their backdoor casino.
01:40
However, in season 7, Connie's decision led her down a risky path, dragging their venture
01:58
into troubled waters. Now, with Georgie shouldering family duties and Mandy chasing
02:03
her weather girl dreams, money could get a little tight.
02:11
But Coopers are not exactly rolling in dough as it is,
02:25
so this could lead to some tough times ahead. It could even force the young family to consider
02:30
leaving Medford behind for a shot at a new beginning elsewhere.
02:41
8. Looping Back to the Big Bang Theory
02:45
Young Sheldon loves to give the occasional nod to its parent series,
02:49
like Georgie's early love for tires hinting at his future empire.
03:05
Adult Sheldon also suggests that Georgie and Mandy's relationship
03:09
doesn't last. However, we're hoping the spinoff will delve more into what happens
03:13
between Sheldon and Georgie. Georgie hints his estrangement with Sheldon may stem from
03:18
the burden he bore after their father's death, so perhaps we'll see those fractures form as
03:23
the season finale nears. But hey, it's not like Young Sheldon never broke
03:38
Big Bang lore, so who's to say the new spinoff can't do the same?
03:51
Maybe Georgie will even share tidbits about Sheldon's early days in Pasadena.
03:56
7. Parenthood
03:58
In season six, Georgie and Mandy welcome their daughter Constance,
04:02
or Cece. From that moment on, we watch the pair finding their footing as new parents.
04:09
Georgie really steps up, despite barely being an adult himself. And for the most part,
04:24
he and Mandy share parenting duties equally.
04:27
Of course, it helps to have family around because as they say, it takes a village.
04:42
Since none of the Coopers are currently slated for the spinoff,
04:45
it looks like they're about to fly solo as a couple.
04:49
As Cece grows and new challenges emerge, we'll be eagerly watching to see how Georgie and Mandy
04:54
tackle them without their families by their side.
05:08
6. Mary vs. Audrey
05:11
That being said, perhaps raising little Cece away from meddling family members
05:15
might be the best move for these new parents.
05:18
While their fathers get along just fine, the same can't be said for their mothers.
05:32
Mary and Audrey didn't exactly get off on the right foot.
05:36
However, when their kids get engaged, both become too overbearing, leading the couple
05:52
to opt for a simple service down at City Hall and launching a bitter rivalry between matriarchs.
05:59
As if that wasn't bad enough, both grandmothers take Cece to get baptized under their respective
06:04
faiths without her parents' permission.
06:08
Yeah, we can totally see why they might want to break away from their families.
06:21
5. George's Fate
06:23
Young Sheldon's George Sr. has in many ways redeemed the man often described by Sheldon
06:29
and his mother in The Big Bang Theory.
06:35
However, one part of his story that's still sealed is his fate.
06:40
In The Big Bang Theory, Georgie reveals that he became their family's anchor after their
06:45
father's passing. He was just 18 years old at the time and juggling fatherhood,
07:02
that's a huge weight to bear. We're not yet sure how far after the events of Young Sheldon
07:07
this new spinoff will take place. However, it would make sense if Georgie decided to
07:13
start afresh elsewhere to focus on his own family unit after picking up the pieces of
07:18
his grieving family.
07:33
4. Setting Up Base
07:36
After Mandy loses her apartment, she crashes with Connie. But when a tornado flattens the
07:41
house, Mandy takes over Sheldon's room while Connie moves in with Dale.
07:46
After a toilet issue arises at the Coopers, Mandy and Georgie reluctantly bunk with Mandy's
08:06
folks. Audrey's not exactly warm and fuzzy, so we imagine they'd be happy to find their
08:11
own place pretty quickly.
08:15
5. Who Knows What'll Pull Them From Medford
08:25
Maybe Mandy lands a job elsewhere, or Jim offers Georgie a role at a new out-of-town
08:30
store branch. They'd probably want to kickstart their lives in their own place while keeping
08:35
their folks at arm's length, which is a big factor we're sure.
08:45
3. Georgie's Career
08:49
As mentioned earlier, young Sheldon teased Georgie's affinity for tires early on.
08:55
However, that's all but forgotten until Mandy's dad offers him a job at his store in the final
09:00
season. As Georgie says himself, he's highly ambitious and puts
09:15
his all into everything he does. So we imagine we'll see Georgie thrive in the biz before
09:26
putting the wheels in motion to start building his own empire. Will he end up competing with
09:31
his father-in-law, or will they become business partners? Only time will tell.
09:36
Mandy is also trying to rebuild her career as a weather girl,
09:39
and we look forward to hopefully seeing her shine in her field too.
09:45
2. The Later Season Started Shifting Focus
09:56
Despite its title, young Sheldon has always been about more than just Sheldon.
10:09
While he was once the primary focus, as the series evolved and we got to know the Coopers
10:14
and Meemaw better, that focus began to shift. Sheldon's narratives became secondary,
10:20
and his trip to Germany saw him sidelined from the main events.
10:33
By season 7, he's basically taken a backseat, and his biggest storyline essentially paves
10:39
the way for his exit. Meanwhile, Georgie and Mandy's story takes center stage. It almost
10:45
feels as if the show is using this final season to set the stage for the new series.

1. Georgie and Mandy's Relationship
11:18
Okay, technically this one takes us back to the Big Bang Theory. Sheldon tells us that his brother
11:23
is at least twice divorced, so we're not expecting any saccharine fairy tale relationship going
11:29
forward. Right now, the newlyweds are in a great place, which sets the stage nicely for
11:48
their spinoff. But let's not forget, their relationship has never been smooth sailing.
11:53
Georgie practically had to wear Mandy down to get her to marry him.
12:00
So, while the honeymoon phase seems like the perfect starting point for the new series,
12:12
we know it won't last. Though young Sheldon has played fast and loose with
12:16
Big Bang Theory canon before, pulling that off this time might be a stretch.
12:21
