Parents need to know that this sitcom revolves around a precocious 9-year-old boy who begins attending high school. On the good side, Sheldon's family, particularly his strong-willed mom, accepts him as he is and provides steadfast support; Sheldon is also confident and considers himself brilliant, cool, a "special boy." Parents may not appreciate, however, the general insulting "punching down" edge to the humor, with jokes that target people for their accents, or intellect, as well as constant teasing and bickering between Sheldon and his siblings. Sheldon calls his brother a "monkey," Sheldon's sister threatens to lick his toothbrush and kick him "in the balls." Cursing and language includes "hell," "ass," "son of a bitch" (says a 9-year-old at the dinner table). Sheldon is often threatened with violence, with his sister telling him he'll have his "ass handed to" him at school, and bigger kids menacing him. Sheldon's dad drinks beer frequently; it's implied that's how he's coping with being depressed due to losing a job.
we're just one minute away from the history premiere of young sheldon EDIT: HISTORIC I MEANT HISTORIC
I was surprised by that too. Also 5 minutes in and already a dick joke and coupler of curse words. Very nice. Are you actually watching?
This looks inoffensively uninteresting. TBBT is offensively bad and something I totally wanna watch as a gag
