I cracked up when I saw Reagan's Instagram post of Lance attending his own funeral as "Georgina." I couldn't believe that I missed such a hilarious moment on my first watch.

Seeing TBBT cast as kids and the song Someday, We’ll be Together just made me cry….it was sad but also a feeling of joy knowing the love of his other family is out there waiting for him and for each other.

1:20 what?!?! I didn’t know this was her real life daughter, but that makes perfect sense. She reminds me SO much of her mom!

What I love is how they add the family in the opening credits and especially the other change in the opening titles. Initially the solo sheldon and then later the family all look at the cow and then later the bull and they all step to the side but in the last season Georgie shoos the cow away. It's a foreshadowing of how Georgie had to take over the role of man of the house after George Snr dies.

I wish they would make a spin off series of every single one of their childhoods 🤗 They all have such interesting histories and complex relationships with their parents, siblings, bullies, etc. I would absolutely love that 😩

“never sit on daddy’s spot”… THATS SO CUTE … i wish we saw a scene where leonard cooper interrupts sheldon and amy and started running in his office and sits on the spot … sheldon reaction would have been priceless 😭🥺🥺

I love that Dire Strait's "Walk of Life" plays when Sheldon arrives at Caltech, just as it did in the opening scene of the first episode. Talk about a perfect bookend.

5:15 I also noticed that the bull was swapped with a black bull on the episode with Georges funeral

[abigailaceves]

One fact I wish was on this list is that 3 the actors on YS also worked on the Disney Pixar movies; Meemaw being Bo Peep, Sturgis being Rex, & Dale being Bob/Mrs. Incredible!

Another thing in Sheldon's office: his beloved photo of Professor Proton. On the shelf behind the cushion and rubic cube, when Sheldon leaves the office.

1. There are so many references to George’s impending death throughout the series
2. Jordan Montana so looks like Patrick Swayze, and the show references Point Break and Dirty Dancing

I was so impressed by Sheldon's office. So many little details in there from TBBT.

Lance Barber was also actually in the coffin at George's funeral (it wasn't a dummy), but just as he was to dress as Georgina to lighten the mood, he also supposedly had a fake mustache and a fart machine with him in the coffin. There are pictures of him online being helped into the coffin as well as another picture where Raegan Revord (Missy) laughing at him in it.

watching the TBBT cast as kids still gives me goosebumps.

[DanielWright-npfq]

I just want to state once again that the greatest thing that ever happened to Sheldon Cooper was the incredible Amy Farrah-Fowler. She grounds him, makes him better and comforts and loves that scared little boy still inside him. She is the best.

The Blossom Easter egg in The Big Bang Theory is more obscure than the one on Young Sheldon because the one on Big Bang was before she joined the show, whereas the one on Young Sheldon was probably put there on purpose for comedy.

I knew about most of these. I never knew that the kids in the season 2 finale were shown in any kind of specific order. That's pretty cool. I also never knew there was any significance in the professor that asked Sheldon if he was lost. He'd been a legend for a long time and I hadn't seen him until then. He kind of looks like President Siebert. And thank you Raegan Revord for letting us know about Georgina. No one would have seen that

[sydneyrodick]

along with george and the nurse, octavia spencer is also in both shows. in young sheldon she works with meemaw through her community service after the gambling room bust and played a dmv worker in big bang theory when sheldon was going to try to get his license.

Didn't know that Young Sheldon's Mary is the real life daughter of TBBT Mary. Thats an amazing little bit of trivia, and a very good choice by the directors. Young Sheldon Mary did a great job.

[ChristopherBingham-xxxl]

Another one: 3 actors who appeared on the show have since passed away:

-Ray Liotta (he had a minor role at the end of season 1 episode 5)

-Louie Anderson (he played the jerk trophy store salesman)

-Lance Reddick (he played the engineering professor)

About Georgina, I like to think that she's George's estranged sister.
We know he had one according to the family tree Sheldon draws in one episode of TBBT but I don't think she's ever seen or even mentioned in either show... but it would be weird for her to not be at the funeral; the only problem is that George's sister (again according to the family tree) is supposed to be something like 10 years younger than him, and that doesn't seem to be the case.
