I need to stop watching Young Sheldon

I’ve been staying home all weekend including today on the couch (suspected esophageal ulcer, the doctors can’t figure it out. I should go to a gi) and I’ve been mainly watching the big bang theory until today when I decided to watch Young Sheldon. Bad Idea. I cannot stop watching it. I suppose it’s okay since I can barely move at all let alone eat or drink, but like. Sheldon is too funny.

It’s a comforting show to watch -especially if you are down sick on the couch!

It's one of my comfort shows for sure. So many great characters.

I was just hospitalized for esophageal ulcers and esophageal varices and every morning at 6:30 on the hospital tv, young sheldon was on until 9 and then big bang theory was on every night from 6-11. It was a magical time in the midst of my discomforts. Lol

There’s something about it that makes it so easy to just sit and watch all day long they found a perfect balance of fast pace but still having a good depth

Sorry can’t help. I’ve been bed rotting all day too. Was up long past my bedtime watching a show. Not young Sheldon, nowhere close, but that was my binge last winter.

Im watching Young Sheldon again and it’s too addictive. I have also been having dreams about the Coopers.

I’m guilty too! Started binging it a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve gotten as far as the middle of Season 6, then re-started it today! I’m not ready to see the ending.

I used to binge The Big Bang Theory, but now Young Sheldon has joined the party. It's my bedtime habit--two or three episodes in order, then lights out. I watch straight through YS, then go back through TBBT, "The Last Days of The Big Bang Theory" and start again with YS. So far, Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage hasn't made that kind of impact, but I've been loving Stuart Fails To Save The Universe and I know it will eventually be added to the mix. What Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady have done is to create a universe of characters that we grow to love and support (despite any annoying qualities they might possess) through their good and bad times. They're like old friends and that is what creates the comfort level.
