With the force of The Big Bang Theory behind it, it looks like Young Sheldon is in for a wildly successful ride. Already picking up the coveted number one new comedy spot (and number two comedy on TV, behind BBT), in it's first season the show is a bona fide hit. The audience may have tuned it because of their adoration for BBT, but they've stuck around for the TV magic that is Young Sheldon.
A recent set visit gave me insight to the Cooper family and the actors behind the characters – who are all a little unsure of what to expect in terms of celebrity. They seem to look out for each other though, so I am sure they'll navigate those waters together. In fact, it was charming to watch the interaction between Iain Armitage, young Sheldon, and Zoe Perry, Sheldon's mom, Mary, who displays a motherly bond with Iain in real life.
Side note - I didn't realize Zoe is the daughter of Laurie Metcalf (of Roseanne fame) and Jeff Perry (who plays Cyrus on Scandal)! Metcalf has guest starred as Sheldon's mom on BBT, making the mother-daughter duo a pretty special opportunity for the two. AND Zoe was a guest on Scandal playing Samantha, the mystery woman who was controlling Rowan and the presidency last season.
Young Sheldon airs Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS. If you haven't tuned in yet, there's no better time than now!

How fun you got to go on set! That must have been an amazing experience. I always find it so interesting to see the behind the scenes and how everything comes together. Sierra~Beautifully Candid
What a fun experience! I knew Zoe was Laurie Metcalf's daughter but had no idea Cyrus was her dad!
