Why Sheldon Isn’t Part Of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Cooper Reunion

Thanksgiving Would Have Been The Perfect Opportunity To Bring Back Sheldon

Interestingly,Young Sheldondidn’t really have many themed episodes. SoGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s upcoming Thanksgiving special is an exciting outing, especially as it brings back several fan-favorite characters fromThe Big Bang Theoryprequel. That said, Sheldon is notably missing, and there are no indications that he will be part of it. For context, Sheldon moved to California around a month afterGeorge died inYoung Sheldon, which would explain why he hasn’t appeared in the sequel spinoff yet. He has been referenced a few times, but that’s the extent of his involvement.

Big Bang Theory Franchise’s New George & Mary Prove They’re Better Than Sheldon’s Parents

After Young Sheldon, The Big Bang Theory franchise has a new patriarch and matriarch, and they have proven that they are better than George and Mary.

Despite this explanation, however, Thanksgiving being a major holiday would have been the perfect opportunity to bring back Sheldon to Texas. This would be his first holiday away from the family, and while he claims that life is better if he’s alone,Young Sheldondemonstrated one too many times that he actually craves company. SinceGeorgie & Mandy’s First Marriagehas to be more creative to feature Sheldon, it’s odd that Chuck Lorre and his writers didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to do a proper Cooper family reunion with the boy genius.

Our Take On Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Thanksgiving Episode With The Coopers

It’s Curious What Role The McAllisters Will Play In Episode

With just four episodes in,Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriageis still in the early process of establishing itself. Technically, it hasonly had two outings that were purely focused on Georgie and Mandy’s new life living with the McAllisters. Both of them were solid storylines, and helpful in terms of endearing its new cast to the audience. That said, seeing the Coopers again for a holiday special is a great approach for its fall finale. It’s curious however how much of “Thanksgiving” will be focused on George’s family since Mandy’s parents and brother will also be involved.
