Young Sheldon S5’s Disappointing Finale Highlights Its Biggest Problem

Young Sheldon S5’s Disappointing Finale Highlights Its Biggest Problem

Albeit not exactly the same, and in an oddly inverted way, The Big Bang Theory had a similar problem. The geek-centric sitcom started as an ensemble project, putting equal interest towards all members of the Pasadena gang. As the years progressed, however,  CBS started putting more focus on Sheldon and his personal arc, especially with the arrival of Amy (Mayim Bialik) at the end of season 3. This problem plagued the show’s final season with The Big Bang Theory season 12 having uneven storytelling. Luckily, it was still able to deliver a mostly satisfying send-off to the Pasadena gang. Young Sheldon needs to be more cautious of this problem as it can plague them in the next few years with a lot happening in the Cooper household.

For what it’s worth, diversifying Young Sheldon‘s storytelling is a better approach if CBS wants to sustain the show’s popularity. It helps that occasionally focusing on other members of the Cooper family minimizes the risk of creating more The Big Bang Theory plot holes. As exciting as it is to learn about Sheldon’s childhood, every core cast member in the show, particularly his siblings, is equally fascinating. 
Young Sheldon will return for season 6 on CBS.
