I watched the Little Sheldon show (what a brain buster it must've been coming up with that name) And although like Dev said there were moments that were sweet I still couldn't help thinking that except for the fact they named these people the Coopers, this could've been any family sitcom where they had a very smart kid.
Mary: Is now his biggest cheerleader and not the Church Nazi Sheldon made her out to be - does anyone really believe that Mary would be asking who in her family is attending Church with her and not MAKING the whole family go (not to mention Sheldon actually wanting to go to church with his mother).
His Dad: Is a kinder, gentler man who's been beaten down by life and is doing his best as a high school football coach and a father. Gone is the drunken, womanizing man who wants to MAKE a man out of Sheldon by forcing him to do "manly" things.
Sheldon: The actor playing Sheldon is wonderful, however the showrunner seems to be so concerned that people aren't going to like him For example: Instead of being in the classrooms and seeing Sheldon's viewpoint while he is correcting the mistakes his teachers have made and then dealing with the teachers anger (and students mockery), we are "told" what he did from the teachers side. If we only hear about Sheldon's most Sheldony moments from the adults how are we supposed to have sympathy for him.
The "learning moments": They may be sweet at times, but you can't have Sheldon learning about social interactions and understanding them because then it's not the Sheldon we fell in love with
Molero seems to be doing exactly what I thought he would and I look forward to more Nickelodeon tween soap moments
which I figure will ultimately end up being a normal(ish) Sheldon who falls in love with a girl that breaks his heart, leaving him determined to close off his emotions and give his life to Science. (until a web-toed, hips that don’t open wider than 22 degrees, brittle-ankled, hair the color of mud girl "saves" him).
In the end, I'm sure that this is grab for more money from the powers that be. What they're really hoping for is this show takes off so they can get rid of BBT in 2 years with all those pesky high salaries.
