Did anyone else watch the Young Sheldon series finale last week?

We certainly needed tissues to get through it, but we thought it was beautifully done. If you watched, what did you think?

It was soooo good. I loved it.

I always liked Young Sheldon better than Big Bang Theory so I was surprised how much I enjoyed the grown-up Sheldon story.

Here's my write-up on TV Fanatic:

I watched it and thought it was good. My favorite character on the show was Me-maw. In later years the show focused more on Sheldon's family than Sheldon but that was ok, it seemed like that was the way it was supposed to be. I thought the last show was a nice balance of the characters with some humor mixed in with the sadness. When Young Sheldon first started I noticed the resemblance of the mom on the show and Laurie Metcalf who played Sheldon's mom on BBT. I found out it was Laurie Metcalf's  daughter who played young Sheldon's mom and I thought that was cool.

heroicmuse, Great review! Young Sheldon and TBBT were very different shows and I loved them both for different reasons.

But I thought this finale was so well done. I thought it managed to remain true to the overall story arc set in TBBT, and be completely true to its characters. And as I lost my father a couple of years ago, many of the beats in this story resonated.

I'm going to miss Young Sheldon and I'm curious to see what they do with the Georgie and Mandie spinoff.
