10 Ways Young Sheldon Is Better Than The Big Bang Theory

Despite being a spin-off, Young Sheldon is so much better than The Big Bang Theory in a lot of aspects. As part of CBS’ attempt to take advantage of The Big Bang Theory‘s popularity, it launched its first spin-off series in 2017. Functioning as Sheldon Cooper’s origins story, Young Sheldon introduced Iain Armitage’s iteration of the character, while Jim Parsons provided the narration as his adult counterpart. Together, the back-to-back comedies dominated the ratings for two years, until The Big Bang Theory ended in 2019.
