"A Solar Calculator, a Game Ball, and a Cheerleader's Bosom" is an episode of Young Sheldon that first aired on November 23, 2017.
Sheldon uses sports analytics to help George win football games, and to help Connie with sports betting. Connie's in trouble with her bookie, Vincent (Ray Liotta).
Tropes
- Artistic License – History: This episode takes place in 1989. Connie goes to Louisiana to gamble in what looks like a legally allowed casino (as opposed to the illicit casinos where Connie also gambles). Trouble is, casino gambling wasn't legal in Louisiana until 1991.
- The B Grade: Sheldon gets a B+ on his math test because he forgot to show his work. He blames it on attending a party the previous night, even though he didn’t stay long and didn’t want to go anyway.
- Description Cut: While the party is happening, Mary tells George "I wouldn't worry about [Missy]. She's an angel." Cut to Missy dancing at the party.
- Marshmallow Hell: When Sheldon helps the school win a game, he gets congratulated by the students, including being hugged by a cheerleader (as indicated in the title). It was mortifying for him.
- Shout-Out to Tony Orlando: Connie gets to see him in Louisiana.
