When a popular television show becomes Grist for the benefits, showrunners and their writers are immediately confronted with the challenge of extending a beloved universe in a way that is addressed to new viewers without checking fans of the existing series . It was not always a delicate proposal. When Norman Lear began to shoot “All in the Family” shows in the 1970s (the first being “Maude”), viewers were not extremely concerned about Canon; In addition, the characters who anchored the new shows were quite far from the bunkers that the writers did not have to worry about backstories. As long as the laughter was tall and abundant, their audience would forgive almost anything.
Television in 2025 is very different. Fans are attached to each detail and will absolutely cry a fault if a character behaves unlike the way they have been represented in the past – or, worse, if a detail previously established is suffocated. Writers must therefore march carefully at any time, right? According to the co-creator of “Young Sheldon” Steve Molero, not really. And he quotes one of the most famous spin-offs of all time as proof that you can get out of it with all the Fudgin.
If prasing can get away, the same goes for the Big Bang Theory universe
In an interview with TVLINE After the broadcast of the 100th episode of “Young Sheldon”, Molaro was asked if he felt a happy with every detail of character who had been revealed on Sheldon’s brother, Georgie, on “The Big Bang Theory”. Was it intended to become Dr. Tire, the largest tire supplier in the Texas State? Would it end up being a divorced father twice?
Perhaps, but in 2022, Molero did not seem too worried to break the barrel if necessary. After all, the “cheers” -ReSion got out of it. By molaro:
“We do not have a precise roadmap in front of us – and to a certain extent, we do not feel handcuffed to the things that have been said on” Big Bang “. I mean, there are things that we will honor , but we must also do what is best for this series.
This is a fair comparison in that breaking was a much more vital member of the “Cheers” whole than Georgia was not on “The Big Bang Theory”. As a person who looked at almost all the episodes of “cheers” during his initial race on NBC, I was vaguely aware of the past to brew, but not so invested in it as I panicked when they introduced Niles. Obviously, those who were upset quickly overcome because “brewing” ran as long as “cheers” and obtained a revival in 2023 (which is currently in limbo after being canceled by Paramount +).
As for Georgia, there seems to be at least a divorce in the future of the character since the title of his spin-off of “Young Sheldon” is the “first marriage of Georgie & Mandy”. Will Molero make it a two-Fer? We will have to wait and see. Do not expect George Cooper Sr. to rise from the tomb soon.
