10 Best Young Sheldon Episodes, Ranked

The best Young Sheldon episodes prove that The Big Bang Theory’s spinoff is not only a great prequel, but it works even better as an original comedy series. When Young Sheldon premiered in 2018, there was reason to believe the show would be a huge flop. It seemed likely that Sheldon would be insufferably annoying without the support of his friend group, and the fact that the inimitable Jim Parsons needed to be replaced in his iconic role didn’t bode well either. However, Young Sheldon was a massive hit with audiences and even managed to win over critics thanks to some canny surprises.
