History YMMV / YoungSheldon

* CaptainObviousReveal: [[spoiler:Mandy's pregnancy in "A Solo Peanut, a Social Butterfly and the Truth". The episode showed Georgie and Mandy having sex, Adult Sheldon was just talking about how hard it is to raise children, and there was really no other possible twist that could keep the Georgie/Mandy storyline going.[[note]]In fact, in "Pancake Sunday and Textbook Flirting", Mandy straight-up says that "if it weren't for the baby, I never would have seen him again."[[/note]] However, some were thrown off since Georgie's appearances on ''The Big Bang Theory'' suggested that he didn't have any kids, though it was never outright stated that he didn't have kids either.]]

** Dale falls here as well due to being a misogynistic asshole who's too set in his ways to change. His relationship with Connie isn't very well-received, with many fans unable to see why Connie stays with him. He's also a horrible role model for Georgie (it was he who encouraged Georgie to drop out of school and keep seeing Mandy). Additionally, by Season 6, most of his appearances are for no apparent reason, other than the episode needing a B- or C-plot.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: While its parent show was one of the biggest shows on TV during the 2010's, it was also very polarizing, with Sheldon Cooper himself being a major BaseBreakingCharacter. This made many viewers hesitant to see a Sheldon-centric prequel series. While ''Young Sheldon'' didn't earn the same level of success as ''The Big Bang Theory'', it managed to be one of the top rated series on its network and is slated to run for at least 7 seasons. In addition, those who saw it were pleasantly surprised to see that the show avoided many of ''TBBT''s biggest flaws (such as its mean-spirited and oftentimes immature humour, {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s, and a persistent StudioAudience), with Sheldon himself being interpreted as naïve, but well-intentioned rather than, in Creator/ChuckLorre's words; "bratty and annoying".

* ContinuityLockout: If you manage to stumble onto ''Young Sheldon'' without having watched ''The Big Bang Theory'' then you'll most likely be wondering the they decided to show a bunch of random little kids at the end of "A Swedish Science Thing and the Equation for Toast". The episode ends by showing young versions of all the characters from ''Big Bang'' with little explanation as to who they are or why we're seeing them.
