First Retcon
George: You know how I got to open my first tire store? I had to bust my ass off, because all of the extra money we've got were always spent on Sheldon. Sheldon's college tuition, him going to study in Germany...
1. Vintage Sheldons family was trailer trash, not struggling lower middle class and he went to College around 11/12 years old, which means Colleges would’ve been falling over themselves to get him by offering Grants and Scholarships.
2. He went to Germany as a guest Lecturer NOT to study (which means he was paid to go)
Second Retcon
George: I'm sorry life hasn't been easy for you, but it hasn't been easy for the rest of us either. Do you think it was easy for us when dad died and you went away to college? Mom was a mess and Missy was a stupid teenager, I've had to take care of both of them.
1. Again, Vintage Sheldon went to college when he was 11/12 and his father still alive when he went to Germany as a guest lecturer at 15
Just love that Leonard thinks Penny is a bully. The Lenny love just gets sweeter and sweeter doesn’t it.
They have rewritten Sheldon's past because no ones allowed to be really poor on a family show in America. It's such a shame, even Penny's family just didn't cut it for me. The character they cast for his brother was all wrong, way too clean looking. They could have made them hilarious, given them real personalities. But now we have Young Sheldon and the original premise is buried even further.
I'll always remember Sheldon lives in a house which would regularly come off its blocks.
