Young Sheldon’s Weirdest Big Bang Theory Inconsistency Happened 3 Different Times

While Young Sheldon has contradicted The Big Bang Theory’s canon plenty of times, the show’s strangest inconsistency has shown up three times over its six seasons. Like most sitcom spinoffs, Young Sheldon has been known to bend the canon of its predecessor whenever it is convenient. In The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon often complained that his father was a drunken lout whereas, in Young Sheldon, George Sr is a sweet, caring everyman who isn’t even overly fond of drinking. However, since it wouldn’t be much fun to watch a light-hearted sitcom about a child-prodigy son struggling with his father’s drinking problem, these changes are usually understandable.
