Criminal activity aside, I thought Meemaw's most egregious behavior in this episode was trying to use George's memory to get info on the football team from Coach Wilkins.

Lackluster episode one week. The next week, it's Meemaw and Dale to the rescue.

Maybe an episode with Connor interacting with the guy at the tire store who really needs more than a line or two every third episode. Mandy claims to be a journalist. Right ...

Did like that Georgie was less than perfect in this episode. Seemed much more like a real person ... and much less like Goober Pyle.

Thought this was a solid episode centered on family dynamics, both good and bad. Saw how the show maybe could stand on its own without the Coopet Support Crew. But then next week's preview and Mary will be making an appearance. And we'll be back thinking about what this show could have been, instead of what it is.

Never would have guessed Young Sheldon Mandy had a college degree. Thought her "weather girl" qualifications were a) physical appearance; b) tight-fitting clothing; and c) dating the boss. And when C ended, so did the job. A college degree does not magically enhance a piss-poor attitude or questionable work ethic.

My inner Sheldon compels me to say: "Soft Kitty is for when you are sick. CC is not sick. You should not sing her Soft Kitty."

In the spirit if the season, this episode ...

Thank you. Brain fart. Fixed it.

Come on, CBS. Do it! Christmas Karaoke, live from Medford. Dale and MB (Mandy's Brother). Guitar. Accordion. And Turkey. A holiday classic in the making.

Nailed it!! Audrey was Connie-like in that conversation, speaking truth with snark, delighting in her daughter's "uncomfortabilty." Mandy loves Georgie, no doubt, but deep down, she is also dealing with feelings of embarrassment that a series of questionable decisions on her part have led to the situation she finds herself in - a 30 year old woman married to a teenager. And Audrey's not gonna let her ignore/deny it.

Hey Audrey, with Christmas just around the corner, here's a gift idea sure to please:

Oh my. So this is what the show will be like without the Young Sheldon Support Cast Crutch. Happy for the people enjoying it. Not one of them.

Yep. The audience is there for the Coopers, not the McAllisters. In a weird way, it was good to see Georgie finally beginning to crack. The responsibilities of parenthood/marriage, grieving his dad, supporting his family, comparing his life to most 18 year old Texas guys ... any one of those things is A LOT to take on. But all together. YIPES!! George's truck. Sigh ...

Thought Melissa Peterman's character was toned down enough not to give off complete Barbara Jean vibes, but the Bobbie character even dressed like Reba Hart - like they shared the same closet. Thought it was entertaining enough, especially for Friday night vapid viewing. Mostly I spent the 30 minutes wishing RM, MP, and RL were still part of the Young Sheldon universe and that that sequel focused on the talent trove found in their middle aged/geezer contingent.
