This article explores how the prequel series 'Young Sheldon' offers a more nuanced and sympathetic portrayal of George Cooper, the father of Sheldon, compared to his depiction in 'The Big Bang Theory'. While often portrayed as hapless and ill-treated in the original series, 'Young Sheldon' highlights George's good intentions, kindness, and supportive nature as a parent.
By detailing the Coopers’ family life, Young Sheldon guaranteed a focus on the family patriarch George, who was ill-treated in the parent series The Big Bang Theory but frequently shone brightly in Young Sheldon . Sheldon’s peculiarities were already a source of problems or misunderstandings in The Big Bang Theory , but Young Sheldon showing a young version of the socially inept genius ensured it would be easier to empathize with Sheldon’s struggles, for viewers and characters alike.
4 10 Bringing the entire family over to Houston so that Sheldon’s ideas could be heard proves George’s belief in Sheldon and willingness to do what his son needed even if he didn’t understand why, showing George listened to Sheldon’s wishes when it would have been easier to dismiss them.
8 George & Missy’s Lobster Dinner Season 1, Episode 21, “Summer Sausage, a Pocket Poncho, and Tony Danza” While George’s best moments often included his rapport with Sheldon because connecting with him was more difficult for the Cooper patriarch, his relationship with his other children also brought out the best of him. One memorable moment that returned throughout Young Sheldon, a cornerstone of George Sr. and Missy’s relationship, is their dinner at Red Lobster by themselves.
Indeed, an insurmountable issue Sheldon finds in running the campaign for his election is public speaking in front of the entire student body. 5 George Realizes His Mistakes & Invites Dr. Sturgis Over Season 3, Episode 9, “A Party Invitation, Football Grapes and an Earth Chicken” After John Sturgis and Connie’s breakup, John longs for male friendship, even more so as he isn’t sure about the choice he made to break up with her, wanting to spare her his crises.
While Sheldon’s idea to ask George first to go together already speaks volumes about their closer bond, it’s what happens between George and Sheldon on their flight to Pasadena in Young Sheldon that can count among George’s best moments. Indeed, George manages to coax Sheldon back to his seat and even offers him support by acting as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, effectively calming him and bringing him to see the university that is Sheldon’s home in The Big Bang Theory for the first time.
2 George & Missy Survive The Tornado Season 6, Episode 22, “A Tornado, a Ten-Hour Flight and a Darn Fine Ring” Young Sheldon season 6 includes the first time Missy properly rebels against her family, feeling ignored by them with their focus shifting between Georgie and Mandy’s daughter and Sheldon.
