Not Great Overall
I wasn't that impressed so far. Only a couple of funny lines, not as good as the original. The actor playing Sheldon's mom is kind of hot, she's Laurie Metcalf's real life daughter.
not great overall?? That was one of the best pilots I have seen in several years.
It established the relationships between the characters without much exposition.
"Not as good as the original" It is a different type of show than "The big Bang Theory" so it really should not be compared to it. It is not a laugh out loud sitcom like TBBT, it has more dramatic elements to it.
The kid playing Sheldon is spot on and the sister is great as well.
I didn't know that was Laurie Metcalf's daughter either. Makes so much sense. I was watching it last night and I couldn't believe how well they cast her. Her voice even sounds so much like her mothers.
I must say I LOVED the addition of Mr. Proton, (even though his face looked messed up to make him look younger or something) and the potato experiment.
I was also surprised, although I don't know why I would be that Jim Parsons was voicing over. Nice to see he is taking an interest and is a producer and stuff too. I hope it suceeds, at least for a little while.
TBBT is almost done isn't it? I haven't watched in awhile.
Not just a producer. The idea of the show basically started with Parsons.
shareOh how cool that is, I didn't know that. Its a good idea. How is the show doing? i haven't checked it out since the first episode. Getting better? Worse?

Only two episodes so far; jury's still out.
Thanks for the link.
Were the episodes played far apart from one another? It seems as if I watched that so long ago.
Yes, they did a premiere and then didn't show it again until 11/2, probably because of football. You can watch ep 2 here:
