Debra is lying in bed with her back to Ray. Ray reaches out to touch her and she says, "No". He keeps trying to put his hand on her and each time she says "No" in perfect time to match his movements without opening her eyes or turning to look at him. Episode please?
I know the exact scene you mean and I'm pretty sure it's from the first season. For some reason I keep thinking it the IQ test one - after Robert tells Ray and Debra that Ray was actually the one with the higher IQ and Debra does not handle it well. But I could be totally wrong!

’ve disliked Tim Allen since I watched him, two different times, disparage both of his daughters looks when they were just children.
He's somewhat like Patty Heaton for me in that I've liked a lot of their work while despising their politics. The big difference between the two though is I feel like Heaton is probably a nice person in real life while Allen seems like a giant tool (appropriately I guess).

but he said that Trump is an historically important President. He never really explained that but he said it a couple of times
I actually agree with him on this, I suspect however that we have very different reasons for believing this to be true,

Sheldon was in agony trying not to tell Leonard.
There was also one of my absolutely favourite scenes from BBT:
Penny: (she really is cross) Oh, look, why is it so hard for you to keep one little secret?
Sheldon: I’m constitutionally incapable. (Penny groans angrily) That’s why I was refused clearance for a very prestigious government research fellowship at a secret military supercollider, located beneath a fake agricultural station 12.5 miles south east of Travers City, Michigan. Which you did not hear about from me.

I'm trying, but I can't remember this actually being addressed in YS. My guess is that it will come up later as things start to turn in the family.
There was the episode where Sheldon finds out a secret that George and Mee Maw have been keeping from Mary. I don't remember the details now but I do remember that Sheldon was very upset about it.

I'm not sure if it's new episodes or if they're replaying the old shows. The advert certainly makes it look like they are new episodes of the Parties show - but with the Food Channel you never know!
I taped them because I thought they were new but turns out they were just new to that channel. As far as I can tell they're replaying the same two seasons that have already aired and there are no new episodes upcoming.

I think hate is a strong word. I don't remember anyone say they "hate" her.
Then you haven't been reading the same threads I have! She's been accused of everything short of masterminding the Lindbergh kidnapping. Some people here - and out in the wide world of the Internet - deeply detest her and aren't afraid to give reasons, both real and imagined as to why.

I love Missy, but she's just as, if not more, mouthy than Sheldon.
Yeah, Missy and Sheldon are sitcom kids. Snappy comebacks and real little smart mouths. It's funny (of course) but it's behavior in the real world that would earn a kid a lot of time outs!

I'm liking it. I missed the second episode but I liked the pilot and I liked this one. The blueberry muffin was a bit goofy but otherwise I thought it was pretty funny. I may be easily pleased however. I'm really wanting mindless, gentle fun on TV right now.

Frank’s kids shut that down even with Ronan wearing those Frank-colored contacts.
I've no idea whether there's any truth to that story but somehow I don't think Sinatra's kids are the ones most likely to know beyond any doubt what the actual facts of the matter are!

This still sticks with me - I thought worshipping idols was a no no.
Okay...12 years of Catholic school: 1946-1958. Happy years, not one nun* slapped, slugged, beat a kid. We were taught early on that we would be accused of "worshipping" idols and learned that we weren't "worshipping" anyone but God...okay, the Holy Trinity. Those statues and our religious medals were simply reminders, something to look at and contemplate. STILL, the (mostly) Baptists in my neighborhood tried their tactics on us.
I was in Catholic school from grade 3 through grade 11 and only got taught by nuns for 2 of those years. I admit they taught us a LOT of prayers 😉 but they sure weren't teaching us that the statuary etc in the church were idols for us to worship! I didn't realize anyone might have thought this was true for Catholics until long after my Catholic school (and generally being Catholic) days were over.

And Sheldon does have his good moments.
He does and what we are also seeing on YS is how his parents are out of their depth in dealing with him and how the school system is failing him. It's not really surprising that Sheldon acts up and doesn't have the kind of self control that most kids would have by the time they reach his age. To be honest to me however hard the people orbiting around Sheldon think they have it in terms of dealing with him I think being Sheldon is ten times harder.

Sheldon is an awful kid. He is annoying me.
I'm not sure what else people are expecting to see when they watch Young Sheldon - they're setting things up for what is to come. If Sheldon were a sweet, biddable child who could be reasoned with and who is the kind of child we all think we were as a kid and the kind of child we'd want our own child to be then he wouldn't be Sheldon! Just to add - What's clever about YS is that you don't really ever need to have seen Big Bang Theory to know what Sheldon would be like as an adult - the narration by grown up Sheldon makes things pretty clear!

Unfortunately the tolerance for bullying was significantly higher back then. Kids were expected to work things out among themselves and adult interventions were almost nil
I could see not interfering if Sheldon was actually high school age but the idea that a little kid is getting picked on by kids at least 4 or more years older than he is should be raising alarm bells. Sheldon doesn't belong in high school if they aren't prepared to keep him safe.

I never minded Cousin Oliver. He's only in six episodes and I think he was kind of cute. He's also got the last bit of dialogue in the whole series. He was loads better than that annoying neighbor kid on "The Partridge Family."
God I despised that kid! I felt terrible for hating a 4 yr old but talk about the death knell of a show!! Anyway agreed about Cousin Oliver - I remember reading something Robbie Rist said about having his whole life defined by what was essentially a summer job! Poor guy!

He and Mary made a decision in their marriage that he would work outside the home and she'd care for the kids and manage the house while he was gone. She later opted to work part time against his wishes (as I recall?), and while it would be thoughtful of him to take on more of the chores since Mary started working, I think that's something she should have specifically worked out with him if it bothered her.
That's not how I recall the episode where Mary gets a job. George is very supportive perhaps partly because the extra income is welcome but I never had the impression he expected Mary to stay home if she didn't want to.

Yeah I'm feeling worse and worse for George as time rolls on here. Mary doesn't treat him very nicely at all. And the more she caters to Sheldon the worse it is for everybody else who has to deal with him.
How unsurprised am I that on a Chuck Lorre show the female partner is being made to be the bad guy in a deteriorating marriage? If this keeps up despite the other positives about this show I am so oughta here!

And Abby needs to shut up. I'm glad Joy told her to stop saying the Ukraine scandal is equally as bad for Biden as it is for Trump. No, it's not Abby. At worst, as Joy stated, nepotism is the extent of the problem for Joe Biden and his son.
Are these people intentionally missing the point that what Trump did is WRONG or do they see it and they just do not care?

Ohiopirate02 and I both make the point that this trope is not good and that you can like dresses and jewelry and perfume and still be equal to boys
What I hate is the idea that just because a girl likes pink she has to be dumb. But what I also hate is that in defending the girl who likes pink by pointing out that she can still be strong and smart it feels like I'm still saying there's something wrong with liking pink and "girlie" stuff. "Girlie" is still not good to most people. Aargh.

a lot of the "girly = lame" is a legacy of the radicalism of the 1970s. When you consider that the mothers of todays TV writers were the feminists of the 1970s and most people's views are inherited from their family, it's not too hard to figure out.
True no doubt but I think the pink aisles of toy stores nowadays is a reaction of today's parents against the more gender neutral way they may have been raised. At least that's one explanation anyway of the way girls are now being socialized to be Disney princesses and wear pink and sparkles.

I'm not sure if this a trope or not but I'm getting tired of TV shows that have a Christmas gift exchange with a family (mom dad and the kiddies maybe a grandparent or two) and people are getting one gift each. I don't know any family that does this - least of all the kind of monied upper middle class families that tend to be featured on the TV shows I'm thinking of!

61 is pretty far from 50; it's more than a decade. Plus, she's had a lot of plastic surgery.
Not in Hollywood it's not! I can come up with tons of examples of actors (male and female) playing characters a lot younger than their actual age. I can also come up with lots of examples of women the same damn age (or close to it) as a male co-star who end up playing the mother or other aging character while the main male character romances the 20 yr old -- but I seriously digress 😀. Point remains I don't know why anyone would be surprised that a 60 yr old woman is not playing the role of a 60 yr old.

Patty Heaton is the same age I am and Patty Heaton looks WAY younger than I do. To me she looks 50ish in fact. I'm impressed she's prepared to play a character that's not all that far from her real age. That gets so damn tricky in Hollywood.

He would do things w/o telling Carrie or he would maneuver things to take advantage of Carrie.
I always think of the episode where he was worried that Carrie might gain some weight and he was an absolute jerk about it.

Same thing happens in the first season Thanksgiving episode when Debra cooks up a "nice striped bass". I totally get that Thanksgiving can be a less than healthy meal but that's down to the sides and overeating, not the star of the show! Turkey is a perfectly healthy choice - ok not deep fried of course but otherwise, nothing wrong with it!
That said I love all the holiday episodes with one exception, not to crazy about the Thanksgiving one where Pat kills the bird. It has its moments but it just doesn't measure up the the other holiday ones.
