The series finale posted Young Sheldon's highest rating numbers since 2020, as audiences came together to watch the Boy King fall
Young Sheldon died this week, carried to sitcom heaven by hordes of network TV angels . But while the character, played by Iain Armitage in his more larval form, has now -zinga’d his last ba-, he didn’t go quietly: Variety reports that 9 million people tuned in to watch television’s Boy King be entombed, the highest ratings the CBS show has posted since 2020.
And while that is—as has been pretty standard for Young Sheldon for most of its run—less than half of what its parent series, The Big Bang Theory, posted ratings-wise for its own final episode back in 2019, it still highlights the general oddness around CBS ending such a successful show. Especially since the network has now developed and green-lit a Sheldon-less spin-off of the series, focused on Montana Jordan and Emily Osment’s characters, so it’s not like they’re sick of series creator Chuck Lorre making them a ton of money. Anyway, Young Sheldon is dead now, having ended on a episode that sees him leave Texas to be an insufferable 14-year-old college student in California, with the finale revealing that the whole series has been Old Sheldon writing his memoirs. Oh, also, Old Sheldon seems like he’s a genuinely terrible father now, but who’s all that shocked about that?
