Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage

Yeah there's no direct connection between a hobby and a show to watch. I was in a D&D group that everyone else hates Big Bang Theory, and they're more interested in the comic books and Star Trek and all of that than I ever have been. Oh I love video games and movies and some nerdy stuff like that, but I don't do superheroes or comics or toys and some others that don't come to mind.

For comparison, just because it occurs to me, I'm as athletic as a bush, and I used to love to watch baseball and football. Not so much anymore, though for a while it was almost religious. "My team is playing? Okay that's my next three hours sorted." My Sundays from September through February are just NFL all day, and I can't play at all.

I get the reasoning behind what you described. It's just interesting to me the discrepancy in interests and what we watch.

It occurs to me. Someone I knew hates football and enjoys football movies. I enjoy football and hate football movies. Just another oddity. None of this is meant as a slight to anyone. It's just how I've observed the correlation.

A friend of mine is very similar to you in that he's been a comic book geek since he was a little kid, he's loves science, sci-fi, and has just about everything else in common with the guys on The Big Bang Theory, including the fact that he has a genius level IQ.

But he has never watched an episode of the show, and he refuses to watch it. He says that the show "hits too close to home" for him, and he feels like they are making fun of him. I've tried to get him to at least give the show a chance, but he refuses to even watch a single episode.

OPEN FLOOR.

Season One, Ep 6. Will Sasso stole that opening scene without saying a word. Nice to see Zoe Perry. I'm glad Georgie's mom feels the same way about his mother-in-law that the rest of us do. "You're not taking my granddaughter to New York, she'll come back a democrat." It appears that Ian Armitage won't be making any appearances on this show as Sheldon. Mandy and her dad were adorable. Anytime with Annie Potts is well spent. Good to see Craig T Nelson too. "I don't know what to call old people who are doing it." Loved the cranberry sauce exchange. Meemaw and Dale on getting married....golden. "What can I say? You knocked up a pretty special lady." Wow, my heart really went out to Mary. Thanksgiving at theGeorge's grave was lovely.

Season One, Ep 7 Georgie and his father rebuilding a classic Mustang...that has trouble written all over it. Georgie does know how to read his father in law regarding his wife. Of course, George and his father in law are pricing each other with the water pump. Mandy's mother is just now watching Friends? "I miss Cosby, he was such a nice family man." Mandy and her mom making a room for the baby...sounds worse than the guys working on the car. "Trying to get her to sleep so we can fool around." They seem to be trying to beef up Conner's part on the show and we really don't need them to do that. "You were my precious little baby...then you started talking and ruined everything." I know when I was still living with my parents after college, I had to pay rent and have a job. I don't know why Connor is allowed to get away with it. She won;t come out and say it, but Mandy's mother is really unhappy with her current situation. That was hysterical when Connor got the job at the restaurant where they stopped to eat.

It feels like Connor is supposed to be the Sheldon-type of character from "Young Sheldon", but it just isn't working. The problem is that they're matching him to the later version of Sheldon from "Young Sheldon".

At the beginning, when Sheldon was young, he was cute, so his idiosyncrasies were cute and funny, but as he got older, he just became a self-centered and annoying character.
That's what seems to be happening with Connor.

Just as nobody wanted to see Sheldon in the later seasons of "Young Sheldon", nobody wants to see Connor in "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage".

They should focus more on Georgie and Mandy's father.

I agree. the character of Connor is totally not working for me.
