The Big Bang Theory” came into my life in 2018. It was the first American sitcom I had ever seen. Before this, my viewing habits were limited to movies and a few local shows, and I had no idea what I was missing.
Back then, I didn’t have subscriptions to Amazon or Netflix. TBH, I never knew them! OTT wasn’t that popular in those days. I used to download episodes from a Telegram channel or a link that someone gave me. I don’t remember clearly. Since I didn’t have Wi-Fi at the hostel, I had to rely on my mobile data to download 2-3 episodes daily and watch them. But hey, the struggle was worth it to watch Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, and the gang.
At first, the scientific jokes flew over my head, but I stuck with them. Slowly, episode by episode, I grew to love the peculiar characters and their weird adventures.
I loved all the characters, but Penny and Sheldon stood out to me the most. There was something special about their bond. I did lose track of it in between. Fast forward to the pandemic. Stuck at home, I decided to revisit The Big Bang Theory. I finished in 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Certain episodes, like when Leonard slapped Sheldon, Penny comforting Sheldon, Amy and Sheldon’s breakup, Raj’s inability to find a girlfriend, the gang’s dinner hangouts, Howard’s mother’s voice, Sheldon’s obsession with his schedule, his proposal to Amy, and his Nobel Prize speech, left a lasting impression. Obviously, Sheldon’s memorable “Bazinga!” moments.
It was like slipping into a comfortable pair of shoes. It was even funnier the second time around. I felt a bit sad when I finished watching them.
Then, I discovered “Young Sheldon,” which I enjoyed just as much. It was fascinating to see Sheldon’s childhood. Seeing the characters as kids was a little strange, but the actors nailed it!
Young Sheldon” had many touching moments, like Missy’s Barbie dinner, her driving lessons, Texas snow globes and Sheldon’s adventures with a dog. The family dynamics, Sheldon and Missy’s talks, Missy’s baseball, Mary discussing God with Sheldon, George comforting Sheldon on a flight, Tonarado, Texan things, role of Dr. Sturgis were all beautifully done.
The honest family conversations and heartfelt moments were a delight. Especially his meemaw. I wish I had one like Sheldon’s! Gerogie’s accent, especially when he makes a sound like ahhaaan. Love it! He stole the show for me in certain scenes.
Additionally, I also enjoyed the show’s reveals, such as Sheldon and Amy naming their baby Leonard Cooper. I wonder what they named their daughter! Reason for sheldon’s three knocks! Lol!
Knowing Sheldon’s father would pass away was tough. When I saw that episode, I couldn’t hold back my tears. However, I was glad to see Sheldon and Amy make an appearance in the finale episode. But even with the sad moments, the show left me with a warm feeling.
I might regret not remembering the other scenes later. :(
So, The Big Bang Theory or Young Sheldon? Both! They’re like two sides of the same coin. Both series have provided laughter, comfort, and valuable life lessons. They reminded me of the importance of friendship, family, and finding joy in the little things, even during tough times. If you haven’t experienced these gems yet, do yourself a favor and dive in. You might just find your new favorite comfort shows, as I did.
Cheers!
