Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA lot of speculation has been made about where Medford would be if it were real. It can be approximated by clues throughout the series. It's in east Texas, but far enough from Houston to make the trip a burden. During this episode, "Angelina County" was mentioned in the tornado alert on the Coopers' TV. This would suggest Lufkin, Texas, whose location, size and population would be very similar to Medford.
- GoofsThe Tornado Warning shown on TV was delivered over the Emergency Alert System, which wouldn't be created and put in use until 1997. In 1989, such a warning would have been delivered over the Emergency Broadcast System, which would break into programming with a tone, not a buzzing sound.
- Quotes
Sheldon: What are you doing?
Mary: Confiscating your comic books. You can have them back when you're 18.
Sheldon: You're taking Casper the Friendly Ghost?
Mary: "Ghost" is sacrilegious. Nothing friendly about that.
Sheldon: Very well. There's one more book that belongs to the box. Filled with adultery, genocide and even human sacrifice.

- Crazy creditsAt the end credits we can read CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS #587
If you were troubled that a Ramones cover song from 1993 was on the radio in the comic book store even though the show is set in 1989, I understand. Normally we would never do something like that, but the truth is I got excited by the lyrics "Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm" and how they foreshadowed the tornado. I also liked the rebellious tone the Ramones set in a store that Mary felt inappropriate for Sheldon. ... If you're also wondering how a Joey Ramone cover from 2002 got in the end, I don't know... he's from Queens and so am I - what do you want from me?

Featured review
Mommy and the Tornado
When Mary forbids Missy from reading Cosmopolitan magazine, she rats on Sheldon's comic books. The pious Mary takes his magazine and goes to the comic books store, humiliating Sheldon and forbidding the owner to sell magazines to her son. Sheldon decides to become independent and to apply to Harvard to be distant from Mary, until a tornado comes to Medford.
"A Mother, a Child, and a Blue Man's Backside" is a funny episode of "young Sheldon". The pious Mary really loves her children, but has difficult to deal with simple things due to her religious formation. Meemaw and Missy continue to be the best characters of this show with great lines and attitudes. Poor Sheldon, gifted and having a mother uncapable to let him have maturity. My vote is eight.
