An episode of Young Sheldon could potentially explain why Sheldon (Jim Parsons) is secretly rich on The Big Bang Theory. Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before they no longer pass as early tweens, which would force Young Sheldon to catch up through their storytelling. Warning Spoiler ahead for Young Sheldon season 5, episode 16. While they play 12-year-olds in the sitcom, they're 14 now in the real world. Both Armitage and Raegan already look older than their respective Big Bang Theory prequel characters, because they are. Young Sheldon's child cast is growing up. While it's true that CBS can work around this by stretching out Young Sheldon's storytelling and slowing down its pacing, Molaro and his team have another problem. That gives the show about two in-narrative years to develop and execute George's tragic fate. Based on Molaro's quote, Sheldon is already 12 years old in Young Sheldon season 5. They never got the chance to talk about it as the next year, the Cooper patriarch died. Per The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon caught his dad having sexual relations with another woman when he was 13 years old. Arguably the most important ones from that are George's cheating scandal and eventual death. Otherwise, Young Sheldon risks creating more plot inconsistencies between the shows. We can slow things down when we need to, but also honor some sort of realistic timeline.”įor context, since The Big Bang Theory regularly referenced Sheldon's childhood in Texas, the show had revealed certain events from the character's past its spin-off now has to tackle. So you can have a stretch of stories that all take place over one week. It’s not like Adult Sheldon has decided to sit down and tell us one story a week that happened exactly 30 years ago. We don’t need to say the exact month or year that we’re in, but we’re also not shying away from it.īecause these are stories being told from a present-day storyteller that take place about 30 years ago, there’s a certain amount of leeway. If someone doesn’t need to say it, then we don’t. You can’t bend the truth on that one. We’re in 1992 and we’re always conscious of, but we try to keep it vague. But, he also pointed out that Young Sheldon has leeway when dealing with timelines since it's being told from adult Sheldon's (Jim Parsons) perspective in the present day. When asked how this affects the show's pacing moving forward, co-creator Steve Molaro told TVLine that they're conscious of what this means to the sitcom. But more than that, this means that The Big Bang Theory prequel is giving fans a specific date as to when this particular episode is taking place, since Asimov's demise is publicly known to be April 6, 1992.
