WTF why
I can't decide if this looks more or less awful than TBBT. I mean, TBBT sucks, but I think it at least knows it's a simplistic, trite sitcom. This is just the same lame jokes, but it looks like they're trying to wrap them in a more sentimental, "cinematic" style. The time period seems pretty anachronistic although maybe that's intentional because small towns are often portrayed as quaint and behind the times. ... Copied to Clipboard!

We all know why. It doesn't matter what we think of the show, the fact is that people watch it, therefore a spinoff was probably going to happen.

I was expecting to watch that and make fun of it but....it actually looks really good and the little kid actor really got sheldon's personality down. Seems like a good spinoff actually.

Heard about it yesterday. I like TBBT, and Sheldon is my favorite character, so yeah, I want to watch it. I feel like they should have called it "Sheldon" though; it just sounds better.

It does not look "really good" lmao. I was surprised by it for a second because it doesn't appear to have a laugh track or dialogue that's just a bunch of rapid-fire lame jokes, but that doesn't make it good. The character looks just as insufferable as the adult version.

Unlike BBT, it actually doesn't look bad... although they might add a god-awful laugh track to compensate for terrible jokes we haven't seen yet.

Well it's not a multi-camera sitcom with a laugh track and resembles nothing of TBBT. It's already better than its predecessor.

The character looks just as insufferable as the adult version. The more i think about it, it is because it reminds me of boy meets world. Also, the character looking jsut as insufferable as the adult one is a plus. Because the actor really can act, since he acts exactly like if sheldon was 9. I actual respect the actor for nailing the role he was assigned. --- i7-5820K 3.3GHz, Asus X99-DELUXE, Corsair H110i GTX, 850 EVO 1TB, EVGA GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX2.0, Corsair 760T, EVGA 850W, Orion Spark, Proteus Core, Benq BL3200PT ...

The problem is that a good coming-of-age story is supposed to have a straight man protagonist, which Sheldon is not. How are you supposed to care about the main character when he's just smug and annoying? And that trailer doesn't portray any other characters as being significant, so that's not a good sign. At least TBBT has some main characters who are likable (relatively speaking).

I'm surprised they did it in this format because the people that like TBBT aren't going to like this, and it seems like that's the audience they'd want to retain for a spinoff show.

If they did a coming of age story with a gay female lead you would say it sucked because of the leads gender and sexual preference? A lot of shows have smug leads. Heck the fonz wasn't even supposed to be a smug character, but his smug attitude made him cool. Sheldon being smug and annoying makes people watch to see what kind of stuff he gets into.

From that clip, I wouldn't watch this show if it was just about a generic smart kid; but I like TBBT, so I'll watch this show if only to see if it has ties to TBBT beyond the initial premise. Maybe this show will be better when we can see whole episodes; when I see preview clips of TBBT, I often find them less funny than I do when I see them in context.

Granted, there is ONE thing which blows Frasier out of the water and it's NCIS. NCIS was a spinoff of JAG and not only has it run 14 seasons so far (to Frasier's 11) but it's spawned TWO spinoffs of its own: NCIS LA and NCIS New Orleans.
