10 Young Sheldon Characters That Big Bang Theory Totally Ignored (& Why)

Several Young Sheldon characters were totally ignored by The Big Bang Theory, and each of them has an interesting reason why. Despite existing in the same reality, there are already countless plot inconsistencies between Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory and there are arguments that it’s better if they’re not connected to each other. Doing this would give CBS free reign to continue the prequel series beyond what has been established in the canon. While this sounds tempting, the network maintains that Young Sheldon functions as The Big Bang Theory‘s Sheldon’s origins story.
