Even though we knew George died from Big Bang,, it still came as a gut punch. Young Sheldon brought Sheldon's family to life and endeared themselves to us.

As soon as George said, "Suit yourself," and left for school, I knew that was it. I really thought they would do it in the final episode or in an epilogue at the end of the final episode (that was my hope), but it's good TV that they did it like this. Lance Barber and the writers took a one-dimensional dumb, hick without a lick of sense from TBBT and made him into a terrific and flawed character. I'm glad they showed that he didn't really cheat on Mary but just needed to be needed and respected and that Sheldon was mistaken when he walked in on them having sex.

This wonderful show provided years of entertainment and gave me more insight into my beloved Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Thank you. 👏👏👏

We were sad and cried; a lot.

Ohh no George - you were a fantastic character - I'm going to cry - really hard - I think one of the most memorable scenes for me is you protecting your daughter in the ditch during the tornado - it was so emotional, but you being written off - well - good bye - it's not like any of us had a choice. But you played your character with a finesse that nobody else could do any better. Best wishes in whatever you choose to do going forward....

RIP George, you were the best and knowing he's at ease with his death warms My heart a lil bit ❤

Knew it was coming from the getgo, but....still took the legs out from under me, absolutely loved George. Lance did a phenomenal job portraying Sheldon's dad, thank you Lance!

I am sad that George Sr. Died. He is a beloved character in the show and cried. It caught me by surprise.

Broke my heart… Always love you George

It is a shame that George Sr. had his life cut short just as he was on the cusp of realizing one of his major goals. But, at least he passed on a high note. Also, another silver lining is that they redeemed what Sheldon had perceived as infidelity on George's part by showing that it was actually just Mary engaging in some spicy roleplay.

Sheldon only has the opinions of the three women of his life to work with. The part about George sr being an abusive drunk was pure head cannon filled by the fanbase. They projected a boogy man of a bad father . The show proved them otherwise. Young Sheldon is a love letter from an older Sheldon to his father and family.

We knew it was coming, but still weren’t expecting that knock on the door, which made it so shocking and sad. Mary’s face captured what we all felt. I’ve so much respect for the writers. Every episode was so masterfully written. They drew us into their world and I wish it could keep going!

I’m glad they spoke on this because after I saw it I actually had trouble sleeping that night

George dying was a punch in the gut for me 😢 I am an all time HUGE fan of young Sheldon and George was one of my favorite characters, but unfortunately we all saw it coming

I just watched this episode last night. I cried so much during the episode, and afterward. This morning, I watched some videos on George's death, and cried a lot. Ugh. I love their family that I've watched for 7 years. Perfect cast for my favorite show.

I love, love, love all these people. They are just like the family I never had. Sad to see the end of the series but we are promised a new spinoff and I will be in the front row. Thanks a million to all these steadfast and loyal actors. Best show ever!!!

More often than not I found George to be the most entertaining in the show.

Even though we knew George was going to pass away from the first episode, there would be times I’d be like no, not now not now, and the way that they change that he never actually had an affair that it was his wife wearing a wig made me cry and then this happened and then I thought about it. It was the perfect time for him. If he had to go he had the biggest dream ready he had his family and the last thing he said to them was I’ll see you later, that was such sweet writing

The actor for George was really the best on the show. He managed to play the line that showed how great his character was but also why Sheldon perceived him as in tbbt

It was hard for us to watch. I loved George!!!

This show brought us a whole new perspective, who knew we would miss George this much.

I cried a lot.

Great show. I loved every single episode. RIP George and as for the cast of Young Sheldon - good luck with your future endeavors.

Lance made George his own. I hope that man goes on to bigger and better things because of this.

gonna miss it great show

Great show, thank you!❤😢

As much as Lance may be sad that George won't have anymore lines ... he has to love the attention and love he is getting now that his beloved character is gone. ❤

We need to see Lance Barber as a real person. Snap us out of our wonderful 7year fantasy and realize what a safe, warm 7 years it was. We LOVED relating to George's warmth in character. We still can! I love how he reminded all of us here: it's a story. Stories end. But Lance is still here, folks. Remember that. It's all good

His last words are so realistic. Just a “See y’all later.” A normal parting that was about to become permanent but none of the Coopers knew it yet. It’s so heartbreaking.

We all knew about this but the writers did a great job since we still didn't see it coming.

I won’t be watching the last episode to emotional because my husband died on August 7th, 2023 from his heart attack and we watched all the episodes of Big Bang theory and the Sheldon episodes together until his passing. I’d probably have a nervous breakdown.

Yep. I agree. Annie Potts is clearly bummed out and actually angered of the shows cancellation.(Google it) I really hope to see her in the Georgie spin-off but it seems unlikely besides maybe a cameo

Nice to hear the cast, especially Lance, speak about the episode. For the first year or so, it was hard to see Lance as "George Sr." instead of "Jimmy Speckerman" (Leonard's bully on TBBT). But, as the show went on, he became the beloved father we've all come to love. Seeing Lance out-of-character and how nice he is was a refreshing change from so many stars of popular shows.

I cried. Hard. And I knew it was going to happen eventually. It still hurts my heart. I really loved this show.

Such a great show, from the very first episode. Always made me laugh! I felt the heartache though when George died. Wonderful writing for this show and TBBT.

I have been anticipating this moment since the first episode.

i cried like baby

Seen big bang and Young Sheldon from the start. I must admid, I cried. George was such a great caracter. I never saw it coming. ❤

the actor for george senior did an amazing job

I'm going to miss "Young Sheldon"! It was such a wonderful series. It not only covered and further explained the Cooper familial stories as told by Sheldon on "The Big Bang Theory," but it took on a life all its own. The family we were introduced to on TBBT was brought to life, and we fell in love with them, each for their own quirks and strengths. I knew George was going to die, but his passing on last week's episode (season 7, episode 12, "A New Home and a Traditional Texas Torture") was still a major gut punch. I felt emotions that I didn't expect. My own dad died on the first day of my junior year in high school, so I expected to be a little prepared whenever the writers included George's death, but boy was I wrong. George's death was still somewhat of a surprise. I felt badly for him and his family. For the future that they were robbed of, and because George died without his loved ones present. Sighhhh! Kudos to the actors and writers for 7 fabulous years, and 127 episodes.

Although it is expected, it is still very sad… we love you George. ❤

Love this show and all the cast! ❤

Ty....you are a great actor so naturel in your role it was made for you ... ty.

We shed many tears of sadness.
