I have a love/hate relationship with Young Sheldon. There are some really funny moments and I completely adore Meemaw (she's basically vintage Penny in 20 years), but as much as I love some of the show the rest is just a retcon for older Sheldon like
1. Every time his father offers up wisdom that the older Sheldon says he remembers as some of the best he's ever gotten which just makes me mad since the only thing his father taught him according to BBT is how to shoot and to knock three times giving his father and his latest woman a chance to put on their clothes.
2. Every time they use his father coming to his defense and saving the day or kicking ass to get his son recognized as a genius (because see above). This should be the role of Meemaw according to BBT
3. Coming up with stupid plots to "explain" why he acts like he does. Example: In episode 1.15 "Dolomite, Apple Slices, and a Mystery Woman" Sheldon and Tam befriend Libby, an 11th-grade girl with an interest in geology and Sheldon connects with her greatly. However, Sheldon is devastated to learn that Libby thinks of him as a child during her talk with Mary so Sheldon stops talking to Libby and decides geology as "not a science" but just a hobby.
4. In last nights episode 2.1 "A High-Pitched Buzz and Training Wheels" Sheldon dismantles the refrigerator to stop an annoying hum, but apparently his eidetic memory doesn't work to put it back together. Which then set up another "touching moment and learning moment with his father.
