Before the review of tonight's episode, a few words about Young Sheldon. This show is taking situation-based comedy to a new place. It's been believed, since the beginning of television programming, that for a show to be funny -- to be a comedy -- it had to be unreal. Rob and Laura Petrie. Frasier and Niles. Jerry and Elaine and so on. It was believed that if you had real people acting and reacting and talking and being like actual people actually are, the show couldn't be funny. This is the first show to totally dispel that now-antiquated notion. That's quite a milestone.
About tonight's episode -- funny, funny, funny. The writing was funny and the acting was funny and the tension was tense and the moments of personal breakthrough were tangible. And Georgie. What a great character. His brother may be a genius about the invisible machinery behind the visible operation of the universe, but Georgie has decided that here in this crazy world he can think for himself thank you very much. I cheered for him.
And Pastor Jeff's and George's coaching buddy's performances may be the all-time best performances by occasional characters.
Looking forward to next week.
