Anyone still watch Young Sheldon?

It is.

I love how they handled the “affair” and the reveal for that was great.
I just wish Sheldon knew that his dad didn’t really have an affair.

We must have missed where we found out that George didn’t have an affair or why Sheldon thinks he did.[

Or does Sheldon think George had an affair with the neighbor when he really didn’t?

They explained it a few episodes ago. It was when Sheldon and Mary came back from their trip. Mary was wearing a wig and Sheldon walked in on them. He just saw the blonde hair and thought his dad was cheating. Then he explained in a voice over that is why he always knocks.

I wasn’t surprised by the ending since Shelton had talked about his dad's death on the BBT.  I am glad they didn’t end the series with this episode though, gives them more time to wrap up the show on hopefully a more positive note.

It had nothing to do with Brenda. It was the episode when Sheldon and Mary came back from Germany. In the BBT Sheldon always talked about how he knocked 3 times after catching his father having relations with another woman. In the Young Sheldon episode George was with Mary in a wig and as part of the role play he called her Helga. During Young Sheldon Jim Parsons said in the voice over that he always knocked 3 times after that to give people time to put on pants or something like that. I don't know exactly how long ago, it was this season though. After the letter writing episodes. So pretty recent.

I read somewhere that they were contemplating using the Brenda storyline, but the father had become such a beloved character decided to try and keep that while staying true to the BBT reference of his father cheating. I think next episode is going to need lots of tissues.

I am glad they did that. That was a smart change.

I loved that explanation. It was a very clever way to stay true to the original show.  The only thing they have really changed from what I can tell is how Mary in BBT trashed George a couple of times on her visits.  She would not have done that as they had gotten through the rough patch in their marriage.  

We watched the episodes tonight and I accidentally started us on the 2nd one from last night first.  We weren't surprised by the ending.  It had to happen and the entire episode had been so positive for George, you knew something bad was going to happen.  

I think next week's finale is an hour long.  

I knew George’s death would probably be coming since we knew from TBBT that he died when Sheldon was 14, but I was kind of hoping he would make it through the end of the series & Sheldon would just do a voice over saying his dad passed after her left for CalTech. The writers of this show are amazing!

On a lighter note, Missy calling Sheldon’s school “Cow Tech” was hilarious

As mentioned, I loved how they handled George’s “affair” On TBBT, he told Penny he always knocked 3 times because he walked in on his dad having an affair with a blond woman ( leaving us to always believe it might be Brenda), but when Mary returned from Germany, she put on a Heidi like costume with a blond wig & told George she had a surprise for him, which is actually what Sheldon walked in on.

Boy am I going to miss this show!

I've started watching from the beginning. I never really watched all the episodes in order. Plus I didn't start watching it until after the finale of TBBT. Iain does a remarkable job emulating Sheldon as a child. They all do a great job.

I've been sobbing and been laughing.  Mary's words at the funeral could have been written from my heart when I lost my husband three years ago.  

We are watching tonight. DH is crying with me.

I’ve never watched TBBT. My dd recommended Young Shelton a while back and I binged the whole thing before this week. I can see why some find Shelton annoying as he aged. The show and it’s writers and characters was outstanding. I loved every bit of it and will miss it but so happy to hear of the spin off.
I surprised myself, by how the littlest thing was making me cry throughout the hour finale.
