George was totally different from the way Sheldon talked about him.That could be because Mary paid more attention to him as a little boy and he was more influenced by her early in his developement which was a mistake because George was a helluva dad and Georgie is alot like George was as a young man and his solid development as a man shows that.

Sheldon’s dad never put Sheldon on such a high pedestal and that annoyed Sheldon . George was there for all his children while Mary was 98%of the time focused on Sheldon . When watching young Sheldon I think the George was the better parent compared to Mary.

I agree. George wanted sheldon to have the best chance when it comes to education opportunities. His other children, Missy and Georgie, were great characters. Georgie is smart when it comes to entrepreneurship and Missy is smart when it comes to socializing and interactING with people.

In short, It took Sheldon being a father to understand his own father

In the show Young Sheldon, Sheldon lacks emotional quotient maybe this is the reason he misunderstands his father, It was shown in an episode where he watches Beverly Hills to tell Missy what happened (cause she's grounded) but he never figures out what's going on with the scene until Missy gives her a cue about the background music.

George wasn't perfect, and didn't have all the answers but he did try to do right by all three of his kids. Since Sheldon is narrating the prequel from the future, and has been confirmed to have children himself, it's likely that he finally understands more of George's well meaning nature. Our parents' behaviour usually makes sense to us once we start raising our own children.

I always loved that scene where George and Missy went to Red Lobster! When she revealed that "Melissa" was her given name I was thrilled that I would share the same name as Sheldon's twin sister! The differences between Missy and I are that everyone calls me "Melissa" and not "Missy." I only have one older sister. I have no twin siblings.

To be fair, the Big Bang Theory's later seasons, especially his interactions with Georgie, do heavily imply that Sheldon either willfully or subconsciously distorted his own memories of his family. That's not even considering the stuff they intentionally kept from him so as to not burden him emotionally. Yeah, the obvious answer is that TBBT's writers didn't think that far ahead and only started fleshing stuff out after the fact, even if it contradicted previous episodes, with Young Sheldon taking it even further ,but the idea of Sheldon's view on his family being skewed IS there at least. So its not that far fetched. I personally like to think though that the Sheldon who's narrating the story is him after becoming a father and finally gaining the emotional maturity needed to understand what he previously couldn't

I kind of think that Sheldon had a bad perception about anything other that science in TBBT timeline. Sheldon might have depended on Mary and Meemaw for social cues and they often degraded George Sr. So his general perception about his father was bad. But by end of TBBT he becomes more open-minded and starts developing social perception of his own. When he's narrating Young Sheldon he's already a father and a husband and develops a view-point about his father which is much kinder and understanding.

George Sr. was never an awful parent. In The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon portrays his dad as this awful parent who cheated on his wife, but as you watch Young Sheldon, not only does it disprove him being an awful parent, but he is actually a great, and understanding one. Hell, he's a better parent than Mary. And you can really see why he cheats on Mary. I'm surprised he stuck with her so long.

But I came to realize that my dad make a stupid, stupid mistake, but he wasn't a bad father at all.

Remember that everything about George was Sheldon's memory of him, greatly influenced by his overbearing mother. Mary and Sheldon created a narrative in their heads absolving themselves of any accountability. Better to remember George as the bad guy than admit fault of your own. I found Mary in TBBT to be utterly terrible as a mother and a person - judgemental, hypocritical, preachy. Still, she was better than Leonard's mother. That woman was a straight-up psycho.

The way Sheldon frequently described the other characters on the Big Band Theory had almost no reality to his descriptions. So the fact that Sheldon gave a negative description of his father is consistent with the negative opinions he had of every other character on the BBT.

And I think that losing his dad at such a young age made him realize that he lost a huge support system, which he needed to cope with. I think his coping mechanism was to distort his memories of his dad and paint him as a villain in order to convince himself that he truly didn't lose all that much; when in reality he lost a whole lot and he knew it. Throughout TBBT, even though Sheldon (and his family in their appearances) take jabs at George, when it matters most they all acknowledge the man he truly was. I really think that the vilifying of George was his own way of coping that he lost a super great dad! And if TBBT didn't make that clear, Jim Parsons' narration over YS does make it clear that Sheldon knew deep down that his dad was a great one!

I like to think Sheldon intentionally misremembers what his dad was like earlier in the series because of he lacked the emotional intelligence he would later developed. Perhaps it was easier to remember his dad as a angry, drunk idiot so that the grief wouldn’t be so hard. Obviously the real reason is because when they made young Sheldon they wanted to make George SR likeable by audiences. And thus there are discrepancies between how he is described in TBBT and portrayed in Young Sheldon. It’s not necessarily exclusive to him but I notice it more with George.

George Sr is one of my favorite characters very stand up guy takes care of his family great father, I feel like Mary took him for granted and didn't appreciate him till the final season, and his relationship with Georgie seemed like a good buddy relationship just busting each other's chops more than a bad father son relationship

The scene I liked was the BBT episode when Sheldon needed inspiration and found his VHS tape had been over-recorded with a half-time pep talk by George to the HS football team. And how those words were exactly right in that moment. And for the viewers who’ve lost our dads, what we wouldn’t give to stumble on a pep talk like this.

I like to think of Young Sheldon as Old Sheldon reflecting on his life after earning a noble prize with his family side being his family explaining their situations.

What makes me soo sad is the fact Mary behaves as if she does everything for all of them but in reality she does what's best for Sheldon. She almost always neglects missy and Georgie and treats Sheldon as if he is her only child. That's why George is the better parent cus he never shows double standards and treat all his kids equally.

I feel like Mary kinda turned the kids against George by bad mouthing him and getting him mad in front of the them to make him seem like the bad guy. But in TBBT Sheldon always made George out to be this alcoholic abusive jerk but he seemed like a wholesome sitcom dad.

Sheldon is a spoiled, self centered, pampered individual who rarely acknowledges anyone else’s feeling, accomplishments, sacrifices, intelligence or qualities. Mary fostered and enabled his behavior. Even in TBBT Mary disparaged George so her frequent ambivalence towards George modeled Sheldon’s attitude toward his dad. George is a good man and father. My second favorite character after Missy.

Those three characters had the most room to grow freely in the show. Mary was seen quite often in TBBT and so we knew what to expect from her. I like her a great deal more in this show than in TBBT because, despite being religious, she's not portrayed as a racist, religious nutjob. But George, Georgie, and Missy are all great characters.

Im rewatching TBBT and watching Young Sheldon for the first time and every time Sheldon brings up his dad its a bit frustrating because i can see how much he cared and tries really hard to be the best Father he knew how to be. He was far from perfect but the effort went unnoticed and ignored until years after his death. Fortunately my dad is still alive so im able to reflect and talk to my dad and recognize what he was doing

He was A Good One. We will all miss him.

I suspect that what really happened is Lance Barber did such a good job making us love George Cooper that the writer's were forced to retcon a lot of Sheldon's comments about his dad. The biggest example is it became unimaginable that George could ever cheat on Mary.

I feel like if they knew about young Sheldon early on when creating TBBT, then they would have been kinder to his character

But at the same time, it is just how life is, and you don't know how good your parents are to you until you grow up and figure it out yourself

Goes to show that George was the better parent.

This sitcom hit me hard George Cooper remind me of my dad back in the late 80 and early 90:ies. Daddy and George are also similar in appearance, similar hairstyle and clothing style 🥺

George Snr is my fav YS character. He is so much more then TBBT makes him out to be. Protective and caring above all

This was one of the sweetest stories between George and Missy.

He was a fantastic father.

i think theirs a diffrence cause the sheldon from big bang was still basically that unappreciative kid while the one telling the story basically is now a father who sees how much his dad really did

Like Sheldon said in penultimate episode of Young Sheldon, for many years he focused on his father shortcomings. But since Sheldon became father himself and reached the same age, there was true understanding of his father.

The biggest problem is Sheldon said he caught his dad cheating with a cheerleader ,which led to the 3 knock rule , easy fix is have Sheldon walk in on Dad and mom doing some role play where mom is dressed up .

This aged well!

George reminds me of my dad so much honestly makes me cry to watch this.

George is my fave charac in the show. Such a character with all the nice attitude but does not get reciprocated by his family. Tormented most of the times. Plus Lance has such a cute smile and puppy eyes!

who's here after the finale?

Sheldon described HIS relationship with George. That's all we knew. In what world would Sheldon Cooper ever even notice George's relationship with anyone else?

honestly i never really thought bad about Sheldon's dad watching TBBT because we see many cases where Sheldon views or voices situations WAY differently than how they are but that's just his perspective

Why now youtube....why now

If it weren't for young Sheldon, we would never have had the insight to find out what a good dad George was. It makes me sad that all of those experiences weren't able to be mentioned. I don't remember if YS ever overlapped with TBBT or if that was over b4 YS. We only got half the picture so it's like whiplash, since it hits later.

The differences in how George Sr is portrayed in TBBT compared to how he actually was on Young Sheldon is a prime example of how in Morden society a man is never good enough no matter how noble, dedicated or how hard he works for his family. George Sr is the kind of man society needs, with flaws but when he's needed he steps up

I only watched the last 2 seasons of the young Sheldon show but still grew to love George as one of my favorite tv dads ever.

The crazy part is this wasn’t even his best acting gig as a father and role model. Bill Ponderosa showed me if you love your kids enough, it’s completely okay to kidnap them from their mother. Pondy also taught me how to be the coolest, while also showing me the value of honesty. He pulled up to me in his car, as he opened his passenger side door and about a 30 pack worth of empties fell out, he offered me an aspirin (that did not look like an aspirin) before I could even say anything, he came clean and let me know “it ain’t an aspirin” I was so impressed by his honesty and how cool he looked, I had no choice but to take it anyways. Morale of the story, Pondy > George Sr. As far as tv dads go

Can we add that he passed up not just one, but two promotions to keep the family happy in Medford only to have Sheldon end up a student at the school he could have been coaching at....I love that George is humanized and I think he's a better father than the helicopter mom, Mary who only hovers over Sheldon and the other two kids are sideline distractions. Update: I hit send just as this was being covered. LoL

I can’t believe I’m saying this Young Sheldon is one of the great TV shows

Honestly, I think the difference between what Sheldon remembers about his dad and what we see in Young Sheldon is very relatable. It’s very hard for most kids to step back and judge their relationship with their parents fairly, especially when it’s as complicated as someone like Sheldon’s. I love how flawed their family dynamic is in the show, it helps you appreciate the good moments while demonstrating how imperfect we all are.

RIP George & RIP Uncle Phil. Best TV Dads ever!

Mary in George's marriage is a very clear example why using protection is important. Marriage or not having kids with someone you barely know is usually a good way to screw your life up

Young Sheldon truly gave us some heart warming tears and moments, and George was a great father to his kids and even though he slipped up in his marriage, he was a good husband to Mary.

I thought it was sweet when Sheldon held his dad's hand without his mitten in the pilot episode

anyone here after george's death

I feel the reason why Sheldon had that arbitrary view on his father is because of his death, going back into his old habits because he felt alone again. Probably why he looks up to Leonard and penny so much they remind him of his parents

Honestly am really glad that the George Adult Sheldon described is completely different. I think the directors knew what they were doing with portrayals. He was often misunderstood even when he tried his best to be the best father and husband to them.... Watching TBBT, I hated Geroge Sr coz of the being a beer drinker. And watching Young Sheldon has made me realise that he isn't a bad person but has sacrificed the things that would make him feel whole and a man for his family. Now that's a bigger man!

Lance Barber and the writers did a wonderful job bringing this character to life and making him adored after TBBT pretty much villified him.

I saw Young Sheldon before TBBT and I hated how Sheldon and his mom put down George Sr. He was a great dad to his children. Yes he had his moments but not as bad as he was painted.

The current episode only supports your claim that he got done dirty

I would say this George Cooper Sr is a great father to Sheldon, Georgie and Missy. But I would say the best moment when he took Sheldon to the or sort of if you took him to NASA and that was a sort of my favorite part of the moment when Sheldon was disappointed he wanted to see rocket take off and when it was raining 🌧️ and his dad would ask him about Sheldon usually tells him about something and I'm like wow that was like a best moment 🙏, I would say young Sheldon is one of the best shows and one of my favorite prequel series of The Big bang theory still I still have love of the show The Big bang theory not everyone else really enjoys the show I can understand but Young Sheldon is best👏❤️💯

George SR is by far the better parent he loves all three of his kid's and doesn't try to force them to believe in something that they don't

Came here after seeing the episode where George died, he's like Atticus Finch and Jonathan Kent: he's a father that many should aspire to be, I wish my dad were like him, even knowing it was coming it just shocked and saddened me when he died

He fought to keep a girl from going to an abusive home, that's as straight as they come. He was a standup guy in my eyes.

George wasn’t an awful father, but Sheldon was a awful son

Hearing how Sheldon talks about his father is exactly how kids now a days talk about their parents - kids don't give parents enough respect and praise for what they had to go through.

From Sheldon's POV, his memories was exactly as he said. Only from his POV, not from audiences'

Not giving George enough credit is so realistic Fathers rarely get the credit they deserve

I’ve always thought that Sheldon’s stories about his dad in TBBT was his way of coping with his dad’s death, and that the George we see in YS is the real George.

I honestly started tearing up near the end. I wish my dad could be as caring as George.

The difference is that the Sheldon narrating the show is also a dad while he wasn't in the original. Also, he went through a lot of growth in the original show as well.

My favourite moment didn’t even get an honorable mention. I LOVE that he comes to Veronica and Georgie’s defense and punches out Veronica’s mom’s boyfriend.

Yes I love that moment

I can see now why people find this show interesting. It’s not really about Sheldon, it’s about his family. They had to work hard to love someone like Sheldon; a genius but clearly neurodivergent child whose social ineptitude and heightened intellect and senses put a wall between him and the world. His father uses some really cool parenting strategies to bridge the gap between himself and his kids. He seems simple, but compassion and understanding are very deep. It’s touching but sad that Sheldon didn’t realize how much his dad did for him until later.

Sheldon had very altered feelings about his family, especially his father. When he became a father, he recently understood it and appreciated the father he had 😢

After seeing this list, I can never look at Sheldon in TBBT the same again

The show made me realize how awful Sheldon truly is in the Big Bang Theory. Also made me realize how awful George’s family truly was. George was no saint but they often treated him like a doormat

Loved this recap

Thank you @MsMojo for making this video. It made me realise how great my father is how little credit most of us give to our fathers.

Thanks for the video
