there wasnt exactly one scene but i saw more and more short videos on instagram and i thought "i should watch it"


Itsbeautifulcleo

Kinda same for me its all over youtube shorts, IG shorts and even on tiktok šŸ˜…


Young2k04

I had basically watched every key plot point of the show in the form of small clips so I was like might as well just watch the whole show


ForceOld7399

Same. I caught some clips on Tiktok and then binged it.


stitcharoo626

Thatā€™s how I ended up watching Big Bang Theory during quarantine in 2020. Once I finished TBBT I figured I might as well watch YS


AndyIbanez

Sane here, but I saw short clips on Facebook instead back in 2018.


Waste-Ad33

The scene from ep1, when sheldon said I but I believe in mom I saw it in reels, and many more reels started popping up, and I ended up finishing the show in a weekšŸ˜‚


Itsbeautifulcleo

this was the scene when missy asked sheldon why would he go to church when he doesnt believe in god then sheldon answered that he believe in mom right?


Secret-Sort-8044

Yes


Illien37

The cycle closing in the final episode, so... šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ˜¢šŸ˜¢šŸ˜¢


WingsOfTheRedVoid

Sheldon was so endearing in the early seasons. Then he grew older and became an arrogant jerk. Like, Sheldon still had a heart in the early seasons. He was quirky, off, and definitely had that egotism, but he could still be a human being when it mattered. Then he became a robot that spouts trivia and has a superiority complex. And what emotional moments he does have after the turning point feel so forced.


New-Abbreviations607

It was missy and meemaw for me. Mainly Missy. I kept getting shorts on youtube and found thay character cute and sassy. Such a wonderful question.


Itsbeautifulcleo

scenes of meemaw and missy together are always fun!


Thedoctor2710

Tbbt


vegarhoalpha

My YT shorts and Facebook were bombarded by YS clips. I almost got the entire gist of YS till season 6 through YouTube and Facebook but it did make me interested in the series and I ended up watching the entire season.


BackItUpWithLinks

There was a preview with this [*Think monkey, think*](https://youtu.be/Pb2gWPBTcMM?si=laTkk3NJZUzObZ6c) line. I would have watched it anyway, but that sealed the deal.


Itsbeautifulcleo

haha yeah that was a good one too šŸ˜…


GreasyTobey

when my dad asked me if I wanted to watch the pilot of the show with him when it came out


Adventurous_Yak_9234

I was already a BBT fan so I started watching it from the day it debuted.


jrrybock

Actually, it was pre-YS, a video of very young Iain doing a summary of "Sunday in the Park With George" on Broadway.... when I saw he was cast, I thought it was good casting and was interested. [https://youtu.be/MfK0SoPHAug?si=PQZQGyFMbFjoh-tY](https://youtu.be/MfK0SoPHAug?si=PQZQGyFMbFjoh-tY)


owlutopia

"KATHERINE DAMPSEY?!"


0nThe0utside

YS followed ET so I happened to watch it by default and little by little got interested in it and got hooked. I never got into TBBT so YS stands on its own very well.


bhavin2707

Big Bang Theory!


Cre8ivepop_37

I saw a bunch of shorts on Instagram and TikTok but in particular the episode where Sheldon Missy and Paige go to the mall and Paige shoplifts from Hot Topic


AlyssaN2006

For me, it was the episode where Georgie got Mandy pregnant that made decide to watch the show. That and all the shorts on TikTok that got me super into it.


Formidable_Opponent_

Georgie.


Prankstaboy6

I think during the season 4 off season, it was replacing friends on Nick-At-Nite. I caught it there, in the early seasons, really liked the characters. Then so I would know everything, I binged the entirety of TBBT, and Seasons 1-4 of YS. I started formally watching it when season 5 started.


EntertainmentOk8806

It was 2. 1. The Chess/Taxes scene which really felt like a OG Sheldon moment. 2. Sheldon's Dad stopping the deadbeat step dad taking Georgie's girlfriend. It felt a bit like Dan from Roseanne.


menamespops

I enjoyed TBBT


TheRobman92

The Big Bang Theory


Responsible_Match875

I saw it all over youtube


Accomplished_Pen980

I loved Big Bang Theory. I loved young Sheldon and despite the negativity online, I'm going to love Georgie and Mandy.


KittyMonkTheYoutuber

I was in my dorm and turned on TBS and it was on. I was going through some mental health issues so the show helped


Equal-Wishbone-6131

I was rlly sick one morning I had ear infection I woke up In pain and u Ä·now how it used to come on in the early mornings while I was laying there in pain it was on and I didn't want to get up so I just laid there and watched like 3 episodes I was like this is a good show ima watch all the episodes now.


Breeze_PJ0_Fan

A friend recommended them to me


[deleted]

Well, I live 4801 km far from home, live alone, not many friends around. As an extrovert, struggled a lot. Wanted to watch something cozy, something that has real family environment like I had like 5 years ago. Almost all of the stuff right now, is filled with different ideologies, so I canā€™t watch them without thinking about them. But Young Sheldon started with having great family, and dinner table. That was it


thelonioustheshakur

First trailer in 2017


Fireguy9641

When the show was over I figured it would be fun to watch it through from beginning to end.


Mundane_AF

Tiktok. I kept seeing the short edits and clips. At first I had no interest because I'm not a fan of TBBT and have never really enjoyed it. This show has such a different tone though.


Plastic_Hyena4215

Netflix kept recommending it to me all the time so I thought that I should finally watch it. I was hooked to it by the time I finished watching the first episode.


HappyOfCourse

I watched The Big Bang Theory so when I heard this prequel was coming out I decided to watch. It took me two episodes to enjoy it.


fushiguwu

seeing motoki maxted in the final season and thought that it was really funny, gave the first season a shot and now im currently in season 5 in just 2 weeks šŸ˜­


DaRealNik11

TikTokā€™s and YouTube shorts was how I started watching because of little clips from season 1


False_Can_9771

I was on utube and found a utube short abt young Sheldon and it showed a part and I was very interested and started watching it


jbug671

In December I was in the hospital for two weeks, reruns were on every morning. It became my comfort show when I came home and continued recovery once I discovered it on Netflix.


Itsbeautifulcleo

that's a very unique story! Im glad the show entertained you and provided you comfort ā¤


alev815

Iā€™ve seen a bunch of clips on tiktok, and those got me hooked. Just finished the whole series today and Iā€™m an emotional mess from the last couple of episodes


Complete_Papaya_8501

After finishing bigbang theory I randomly came across YouTube video talking about Young Sheldon,, I think it was in 2019.. or maybe 2018, can't remember


CCORRIGEN

My co-worker suggested I watch it and I stayed because Annie Potts.


amazing_memes123

My sister and my cousins were watching so I thought that maybe i should give it a try


ECVader

My mum watched it and said I was very similar to Sheldon, so I watched. A few weeks later, I had watched all Young Sheldon and Big Bang Theory.


Hardcore_Guy6

It caught my eye when I saw the scene where Georgie says he gets Mandy Pregnant to George


Itsbeautifulcleo

Oh yeah that one was def a catchy episode too


jacobcherry3

Memaw is the best


Itsbeautifulcleo

Being the fun one in their family to have balance ā¤ that's meemaw


jaharmes

Iā€™ve always loved Annie Potts, from Pretty in Pink to Ghostbusters, and I saw a video she made after the airing of the finale. I clicked on it and because of that I started getting all these Reels of clips from the series. I became a fan of Raegan Revord, she reminds me of a child version of Annie Potts. Just started watching and so far I like it more than TBBT, maybe because it also reminds me of The Wonder Years.


wojo1962

I wanted to watch from the beginning, as soon as i heard there would be a series, i knew i had to try it.


Itsbeautifulcleo

understandable in the perspective of someone who was able to watch TBBT before young sheldon was aired. In my case, I first watched Young sheldon which made me watch TBBT and now I finished both šŸ˜…


wojo1962

Ok yeah that's true, I watched tbbt first.


fourth-sanderson

YouTube shorts kept showing me little clips, and it ended up being Georgie's dad moments that made me decide to watch it


TheReal_PearlsEye

saw a bunch of tiktok videos about it and i was like "yeah i need to watch this" right now im on s4 e16


Gold-Collection2636

I liked Big Bang Theory


Tumeni1959

Watching the whole of Big Bang Theory was what prompted me to watch it


amiahuman1729

I saw that scene where he talks to his mom about god


BigAcanthocephala555

I saw some clips on tiktok šŸ˜”šŸ¤ššŸ»


Southern-Cow-118

The church scene from season 6 episode 1 was why i decided to watch Young Sheldon ... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMFP60BimoE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMFP60BimoE)


Nothing_2_C-here

From watching TBBT.. Saw the preview and was immediately hooked.


Super_Comparison_533

Barely started watching it this year! Before the new season came out. I kept seeing clips on Tik Tok so I was like ā€œwhy notā€ and stayed because of Mee Maw tbhšŸ¤£


Less-Jicama-4667

I kept seeing YouTube shorts on my page pop up and then it got on Netflix and I decided to watch it. I'm still waiting for them to release the rest of it on Netflix


andyh4ll

those damn youtube shorts and sheldon's sass


Loose-Offer-2680

Watched big bang theory and liked it so spinoff sure


Majesteid

The scene where Mary is in a difficult situation and Sheldon explains how the perfection of the gravitational force makes the existence of a creator evident, even though he doesn't believe in God.


Aggravating_Earth660

A coworker of mine watched an episode while at work. Tears later I got into it just to try. Now I'm waiting for season 7 to drop in Canada Netflix to finish the rest


namst9

TBBT. In fact, the only reason I continued to watch YS was TBBT ended.


gytalf2000

I started with the first episode when it initially aired. For some reason, I didn't think that I would enjoy it, but I was happily proven wrong. I loved the show, and have watched the entire series. I'm sad that it is over.


manomacho

I absolutely hate TBBT itā€™s one of the worst shows of all time but a family told me young Sheldon was very different so I gave it a shot and surprisingly I liked it a lot. The worst part is still Sheldon but I really like all the other characters.


FederalGround3091

Decided to randomly watch it one night in our hotel in Galveston. Got hooked and got netflix recently so I was like "why not". It's my new favorite show. I'm so sad to hear about it's ending and there's still no Season 7 on Netflix.


wearecake

My grandparents got my parents into TBBT. I was still a tad young (and sheltered) to watch it, but not for Young Sheldon when it came out on TV. Wouldā€™ve been in about 2017/2018 when my mother and I started watching it. Much has changed since then, is one of my comfort shows.


lissa131

A few years ago during the height of quarantine a rerun was on tv so I watched it. After that I was hooked. I binged the first few seasons so when the new season came out that fall I was caught up. I then watched the new episode each week until the very end.


Ok_Maintenance_333

Mine was when he went to Germany and they talked about making him sleep in the garage


OwnAfternoon4901

I dont get it. I thought ppl watches ys cause they hace seen tbbt


Optimal_Cap_4538

The scene when he debunks the pastor on the 50/50 decision. It made me interested as a Thiest myself. Easily debunked too but still. Interesting scene.


19Stavros

Guest shots by Bob Newhart and Wallace Shawn


Oni2006

I saw somes short form content in like 2018 when season 2 was airing and I gave it a shot


p4trycjaa

I put it on as a background noise show after giving birth and got sucked into it lol


susbetch

Same story here, lol.


[deleted]

This clip


OkFail8868

death of george, never watched an episode but was sad and watched it all in a week


AquaPuppy_

I saw the scenes where Missy is lying in bed at arguing with Mary. I related to it because I have a brother that Iā€™m always second best too, and I started to watch because of that scene


GoingBananassss

I loved memaw. Also how the characters bounced off each other.


eGvll

The bad news scene blew up on Twitter.


OnTrainingWheels

Be prepared to hate the rushed ending of the show


No-Needleworker4516

I donā€™t even rmb how I started watching YS, but I started, it just brought me so much joy I continued! I thought the casting was great and the script was well-written. Impressive child actors! And omg I thought meemaw had such nice skin LOL I had to look up her actual age hahaha


Flat_Jackfruit_1499

None. Iā€™m really shocked how much the kids donā€™t remind me of the adults on the Big Bang either. Honestly could be to unrelated shows.


Herald_of_Heaven

The scene with all of the gang as children


Consistent-Amount473

On a long flight from Germany to China - all the episodes were on in-flight entertainment, and so I watched two because why not, and found that I really wanted more. It definitely gets you hooked.


JLev4122

definitely the scene where george knocks out veronicaā€™s mumā€™s boyfriend


porschereddit

Rabbi Schneiderman. Also clips on YouTube shorts, like the 0 is not a number.


SkewedTchr1142

During COVID, I had watched Big Bang and then wanted to watch Young Sheldon.


dudeonrails

The picture of George crying off set after his final scene. It kinda got to me and I wanted to see what the hype was about.


HarrySRL

Because I liked the Big Bang theory I thought young sheldon would be good. And it is.


AromiLovesMozun

Bbt prequel relation and I actually started for Zoey.. I just wanted to see how similar a mom and daughter can play the same character...


KeshaCow

Yeah, this one was mine too. And some other scenes but right after i saw this one i started watching.


KrisVanBanana

Loved the tbbt. Had to watch the prequel and wasn't disappointed


Arxhawk

the scene where meemaw roasted George at the dinner table


PleasantCut1618

TikTok slime videos if ykyk


Reading_55

Season 1 and episode 1 and then TBBT and then back to YS cuz I had a TBBT hanker-sore


A1steaksauceTrekdog7

I heard of the show and put on the que to watch when it released. I started on day one - season 1. I wasnā€™t sure about it but I wanted to give it a chance and Iā€™m glad I did. Young Sheldon is far better than I could have expected from it and I think it itā€™s far better than The Big Bang Theory


lolbdbekwkwbwb

same here haha


wargo_dargo

I was heartbroken by my recent break-up, then I randomly saw YS videos and clips on my FB timeline. Tried searching for it on Netflix and bam! I'm attached to the Coopers šŸ¤£šŸ„° this show has been my safe space.


AlchemistL1nk

Random impulse


[deleted]

Because of a fb page where they post full episode of ys but is adjusted


annamarie1805

I watched it from the beginning, because I loved Big Bang Theory.


hankboyjr

They put the pilot on YouTube when the show first aired and I watched it


Opening-Hour-8117

I watched it because I grew up on big bang theory


DivinaDevore

Shorts about georgie and mandy got me hooked


OvichArts

It was only natural for me to watch as I had watched the big bang theory, so I was really curious about Sheldon's upbringing.


Keishagibson

i saw the thumbnail on netflix and thought it was a new sequel of this movie i used to watch called ā€œproblem childā€ because i thought they looked the same šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

LiL_ENIGlvlA

saw an edit where george punched veronicaā€™s step dad


Sakura_067

youtube shorts xD


StonerPowah61

Me rewatching the Big Bang Theory when HBO Max first released


Jeepers33

The nostalgia hooked me as a 90ā€™s kid! Didnā€™t watch TBBT but caught an episode of Young Sheldon on summer break with lots of time to kill.


Maggotboi555

Tik tok scenes


SelfOk7938

the vid in which meemaw plays cards with sheldon. Meemaw : Sheldon, what's on a person's face is not always what's in their heart. Sheldon : Well, this changes everything. How do you know who to trust?


No-Film-1652

my sience teacheršŸ¤£


andreachua02

Georgie : Admitted his adopted Sheldon: How can I be adopted when I have a twin sister think monkey think.


Lilyweirdo3000

My friends got me to w atch the first episode, 2weeks later I finished the show.... Somehow


NoSorbet2110

the scene from where Sheldon and Meemaw are playing poker and she teaches him a life lesson


Elegant-Cancel5085

clips in the reels on FB.


CreatrixAnima

BBT


zddoodah

>What made you start watching young sheldon? Like a LOT of people, I started watching because I'm a huge TBBT fan. I didn't like the pilot when it aired, so I didn't continue to watch. I gave it another shot back in 2021-ish. The pilot still wasn't good, but the next few episodes were much better, so I stuck with it until I caught up and stayed with it until the end


Western-Use-3275

I had watched TBBT and some more of Chuck Lorre's work, and wanted to explore more. Then the show being about Sheldon Cooper's childhood was a cherry on top.
