Discuss The Big Bang Theory

I was just thinking, Imagine if they made a version of "Young Sheldon" for every main character. Which would you want to see most?

I think Young Raj would provide limitless , although culturally insensitive comedic potential. Young Leonard would just be a depiction of parental emotional abuse, every season a new publication by Beverly on her son's psychological development or lack thereof. Young Penny a typical angsty teen show.

Young Bernadette about her bullying her schoolmates, Young Amy is just Blossom reruns.

Young Howard is a gripping drama about Dad leaving for a pack of Malboros and never making it back home.

I don't think any of these could have gotten green lit but I'd happily watch them all.

I wonder if they will have episodes where the other characters young selves meet or are in the same place as young Sheldon?

I'd pick Howard. It would be great to have known (and seen) Deb-Deb back-in-the-day. Could still be comedy gold--even with dad leaving. After all something(s) led Howard to become the low-rent lothario we knew and love, before Bernie “tamed” him.

And young Priya would be Ally McBeal with a UK flavor and fewer salacious activities.

"Salacious activities"

I'm sure she had her fair share of fun in Cambridge. Welcome back from your brief board Vacation, Ms.Queen. Or should I say "Mrs." Queen?

"Or should I say "Mrs." Queen?"

Not yet , you'll have about a two year wait for that ; ). And I appreciate the shout-out in the other thread.

They probably could work at least one into such a scenario; any more than that would be more disbelieve than anyone could suspend.

Good joke, but Blossom was way more outgoing than Amy.

And there would have to be something like a bit of the original movie Carrie added on, where she gets put in the prayer box or whatever it was and has to watch 60 Minutes through the slots in the side?

Leonard - My Mother the Psychiatrist

Raj - Boy Meets Sari

Howard - "How-ward!!!" (Every episode ends with Debbie yelling out "Howard")

Penny - I was a Teenage Corn Queen

Bernie - The Bernie Rostenkowski Chronicles

Amy - I don't have a name yet but I can see Amy sitting alone in the cafeteria reading Little House on the Prairie novelizations

How about Little Amy On The Prairie?

The sitcom "Community" did that exactly, "Heroic Origins" season 4. Maybe there could be a montage of all of them watching Star Trek for the first time or something like that.

Perfect. Still it would get the prize for the saddest sitcom ever with little Amy getting ignored by everybody, except for that one time with the horny otter.

Penny sees Star Trek come on, and immediately leaves to meet Luther at the Best Western. wink

For Amy, how about: The Wonderless Years?
