Sheldon being upset that nobody came to his party, and worrying that he'll always be alone, only for it to show his future friends and wife as children is really heartwarming, and resonates with anyone who's struggled with making connections, and that you won't always feel isolated.

The montage of Sheldon’s future friends as their younger selves ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes

[ChristoAbrie]

Sheldon restoring Mary's faith was a pretty big one, not only did he go against his core beliefs as an atheist, but he uncharacteristically handled it with delicacy.

That conversation between Sheldon and Mary about faith hits hard

[Lady-Kanerasoka]

6:26 I totally agree when the narrator says that we can see our family dynamics in at least one episode. I can see it in more than one.

[lorihansen]

One of the reasons I love this show is because it handles all of these serious problems well.

I'll really miss this show when it wraps up in a few months, but I'm really anticipating the Mandy and Georgie spin off series. Hopefully the rest of the Cooper clan will eventually make cameos.

12:52 hit so hard. My uncle died when i was 8 and ever since then I've developed anxiety, depression, attachment issues, even issues with my dad who was also grieving over him. I used to go to his grave and beg for him to come back and make things normal again. Obviously, he never came back but i'd wish that things had stayed the same as they did before he died.

8:20 it is so sad that Dr Sturgis wanted to be a part of noble prize experience and yet Sheldon didn't than him in his noble prize speech.

Mary's crisis of faith and Sheldon' defense of her to her church always jumps out at me. But the argument they have over his mental health is also memorable.

Missy having her period reminded me of my 1st one.

[Minidollcollector]

Even though I don’t live in a tornado zone I find the episodes with the tornadoes scary to say the least

[pandatwee]

Young Leonard is so adorable! His eyebrows are just like adult Leonard’s.

[abigailaceves]

Thank for this list, MsMojo. I also it tackles the issue of the struggles that comes with having a gifted child.

[rebeccahancock]

Sorry but when Missy was eat dirt, I was cheering her on and yelling Go Missy.

[EmilyCheetham]

I can relate to no one coming to Sheldon’s party. From the age of 10 after I started having seizures no one ever turned up to my birthdays & I was never invited to any. It wasn’t till I left school and went to college that anyone invited my to their birthday. But still I can count on 1 hand the birthday parties I have been invited since I left school.

[BeckyM]

It was very sad that Sheldon felt isolated because no one turned up to his nobel prize party😢. It were very hard for Mary and George when they found out that Mary had miscarried leaving Mary and George disappointed😭. Paige handling her parents divorce leaving her to a rebellious phase.

The first time we met Dale, I didn't like him.
But, he's great and I couldn't imagine the show without him.

[ankit_bishnoi_official]

I don't realized until now that we learned so many things and issues unnoticed! Thanks for this video! Generally they chose something more superficial but popular topic but you chose insightful one! Make more videos like this (may be from Friends).
Thanks from India!

My brother is really academic smart, Sheldon
My other brother is business smart Georgie
I guess I’m just missy 😂
