Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage

Tools    








This is the second CBS spinoff of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon's older brother George and his wife and baby girl, have moved in with Mandy's parents. This show was created by Chuck Lorre, the TV legend behind Two and a Half Men and Mom. The opening credit sequence was beyond adorable. It's a little weird that this show is done with the three camera laugh track and Young Sheldon was not. Will Sasso, who was terrific on Mom as Jill's cop boyfriend. is very funny here as Mandy's dad. Mandy's older brother is a useless character they need to lose. "Just sending the government more of our money to piss away." Looks like Mandy's mom is going to be a constant thorn in Georgie and Mandy's sides. I've noticed that Georgie has been given a brain he didn't have on Young Sheldon. OK, them moving out so soon is not a great idea because the conflict with Mom is what's driving this show. Glad to see they brought Annie Potts over from Young Sheldon. Potts is a welcome presence here. Nice to see Zoe Perry too, but I'm not sure if I want her to be a permanent cast member. "I'm old enough to have a wife, a baby, and a shower that doubles as a shower." Don't really understand why they killed off Lance Barber as Georgie's dad. Having to climb into their bed could become a funny running bit. Mom's reaction to seeing her daughter's new home was priceless without saying a word. Glad Mom apologized. Montana Jordan and Emily Osment are adorable in the title roles, but the supporting cast is what I liked here. I liked this better than Young Sheldon.



I thought this was just an okay pilot episode. The actors are fine, but this episode wasn't funny. I didn't laugh once. I think this was a weaker first episode than Big Bang Theory or Young Sheldon, but there is potential that it will get better.

We knew from the original show, ("The Big Bang Theory"), that Sheldon's father died when Sheldon was 14 years old, so they had to kill him off in "Young Sheldon" to maintain the continuity with the original show.

I never watched The Big Bang Theory
It's never too late to start



I tried to watch The Big Bang Theory a couple of times I just couldn't get into it...there's no way I could get through all ten seasns, I couldn't even get through a single complete episode.

I love "The Big Bang Theory". I've seen every episode multiple times, and I still watch the reruns on TBS.

If you ever try again, I'd suggest watching a few seasons in. Once Bernadette and Amy join it gets a lot more watchable, IMO, Those two characters are the making of the whole show.

I think episode 2 was better than the pilot episode. It still isn't very funny, but the writing and acting seemed stronger in this second episode.



I love TBBT. I get a lot of the jokes and nerd references. Young Sheldon was an interesting prequel. I'm not much of a fan of the new series. I guess I just need to watch it .

It doesn't have any of the geekiness that the other two do.



Season One, Ep 2 Georgie's opening scene with his dad was sweet. There was nothing George could have said to Mandy in that first scene that would have made her feel any better? "I'm pretty sure these are the good Koreans." "Look at this face, I'm on camera talent." They really need to lose Mandy's brother...pointless character. That's the cleanest auto garage floor I've ever seen. Can't believe how big Missy has gotten. "Unique is the word we agreed to sue." Wow, isn't Georgie kind of young to be having a heart attack? "Anxiety, that's just some New York nonsense." Loved Georgie and Mandy checking out Georgie's heart. I still say this Georgie has a brain that he didn't have on Young Sheldon. Missy's scene with her dad was sweet too.

I loved the scenes with Georgie and Missy at their father's grave. I hope they keep that in as a recurring theme.

I agree 100%. He's just a waste of time. They need to get rid of him.

There were scenes in the later episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" with Georgie that showed that he's got a brain. (He was played by Jerry O'Connell in TBBT.)

Neither have I. It's not a funny show at all.

Season One, Ep 3. Georgie's got a credit card...no good can come of that. Wow, Mandy's credit card history must be pretty bad. They need to lose Mandy's brother...the character continues to be pointless and unfunny. Georgie didn't actually compare Mandy to her mother? Women love that. That's a lot of credit card debt. Mandy should have told Georgie about this a long time ago. "Why? You're gonna kiss your mother and tell me she's your sister?" It doesn't cost anything to attend a taping of SNL? Mandy is totally wrong for not telling Georgie the name of the guy that she paid his medical bills. Please don't let Mandy's ex be writing Georgie a rubber check. Hope springs eternal I guess. No good can come of Georgie's plan. Georgie is right...he is handling this whole situation with a lot more composure than I expected. Emily's breakdown in the restaurant reminded me so much of Christy on Mom.



Season One, Ep 4. Montana Jordan and Emiy Osment definitely have chemistry and the show is watchable, it's just not providing laugh out loud laughs yet. Is that casey Wilson playing Mandy's co-worker? "It was a nice to hang out a woman who didn't give birth to me."
"But you knew that because I've read this story 118 times." "Reading on the toilet is not a game, Jim." "Anyhoo, too much tequila and not enough condoms and here we are." Liked he first reference to Sheldon that we've had. Didn't realize that Mandyh is older than Georgie. Will Sasso was very funny during twenty questions. Emily Osment just produced my first out loud laugh during the scene in the truck going home. Mom could be a little more supportive of Mandy. Good for Georgie being the designated driver. The bar actually had a pay telephone in it. I can't remember the last time I saw a pay phone on a TV show.

This is weird, but despite everyone I know assuming I would be the biggest Big Bang Theory fan based on who I am and stuff I like, I never really got into the show.

For all "intensive purposes" I SHOULD be the biggest fan: I'm a nerd, I'm intensely interested in science, I love everything to do with NASA, astronomy and spaceflight, I'm a huge Star Trek fan along with all things science fiction, and as most of you know I've been a comic book geek since I was 10 years old (and have even had related work stints in the industry) - I have everything in common with the characters on the show (including some mild social phobias similar to Sheldon) - yet although seeing some episodes & finding them mildly entertaining, I just never had the desire to follow it as I have some other shows.



I don't actually wear pants.

I used to love the show. Then it felt like they were grasping at straws, and they routinely missed, and just grabbed different straws that were from a different bale, and it just got weird, and not in a good way. I quit watching in like season five, and I have no desire to go back to it. I suppose the spinoffs might be okay, except if I don't like the original anymore, why would I want to watch the spinoff?
