It’s the end of an era. Fan-favorite sitcomYoung Sheldonhas been a terrific example of how to expand and grow a series from its original focus. While the show started out zeroed in on the life of nine-year-old Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage), as the seasons progressed,Young Sheldonexpanded to includeeveryone in the Cooper family, allowing the characters to learn and grow from one another. We’ve seen Sheldon’s father, George (Lance Barber), go from football coach to salesman and back to football coach; Sheldon’s mother, Mary (Zoe Perry) starts as a devoted churchgoer to losing her faith - and her job - in her congregation; Sheldon’s older brother, Georgie (Montana Jordan) become a high school dropout to an entrepreneur, and then a father; Sheldon’s twin sister, Missy (Raegan Revord) travel through rebellious phases and come out more mature; and Sheldon’s grandmother, Meemaw (Annie Potts) start her businesses and lose her home. The addition of Mandy (Emily Osment) to the cast brought along with it baby Cece, an engagement, and a fun friendship with Meemaw.
Not only is the end ofYoung Sheldonsignificant, but with it comes another notable end for its creator and producer,Chuck Lorre. Unless a newLorre-produced show premieres between now and May, the end ofYoung Sheldonwill mark the first time since 2003 that CBS is without a Lorre show on its lineup. The producer, whose hit shows have includedTwo and a Half Men,Mike & Molly,United States of Al, andYoung Sheldon’s predecessor,The Big Bang Theory, has bothYoung SheldonandBob Hearts Abisholaending their runs this spring.Young Sheldon’s finale is a particularly significant one, as according to CBS, the show has continually been a heavy-hitter for the channel, taking the number-one comedy slot after the end ofThe Big Bang Theory.
While most details of the finale are kept under wraps, episode titles for Season 7 hint at many things, specifically Mary’s return to the church, a wedding between Georgie and Mandy, and many more laughs. The show truly has taken the time to grow each one of its Cooper clan into multi-faceted, complicated individuals, and the brilliance of the show’s ability to do this will make it all the harder tosay goodbye after seven years together.
