Young Sheldon Season 6’s Database Subplot Reused A Forgotten TBBT Story

Young Sheldon season 6’s database story and the grant database failure introduced the finale’s surprising development of Sheldon going to Germany, but the whole subplot oddly mirrored an earlier The Big Bang Theory story. Both Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory always emphasized Sheldon’s academic successes and social ineptitude, instead rarely focusing on his career or university-related blunders. Although The Big Bang Theory sometimes shone a light on Sheldon’s inability to move forward with his research, to the point that he ended up switching specialties, outright failures were rarer. Still, Young Sheldon season 6’s database subplot managed to meticulously rehash one of Sheldon’s few failures in Big Bang Theory.
