Summary Young Sheldon avoided the pitfalls of many sitcom spinoffs by dropping The Big Bang Theory's laugh track, creating a fresh and unique tone. The show's creators successfully made Young Sheldon feel completely different from The Big Bang Theory by fundamentally altering its style and tone. By adding a voiceover and shifting genres, Young Sheldon stood out among other spinoffs, making it a more successful and enjoyable show.
Many sitcom spinoffs replicate their predecessors too closely, but Young Sheldondropping The Big Bang Theory's laugh track allowed it to avoid this trap. Sitcom spinoffs are a hard thing to pull off.
As such, the creators of sitcom spinoffs are tasked with a familiar problem: how to deliver a similar experience while making the show unique in its own right. Young Sheldon managed to pull this off by telling the story of George Sr.
, Mary, and the rest of the Cooper clan. While other sitcom spinoffs struggled to match the critical acclaim of their predecessors, Young Sheldon discouraged comparisons between itself and The Big Bang Theory by fundamentally altering the tone of the series. Young Sheldon felt completely different from The Big Bang Theory, which made the show more successful.Even successful spinoffs like That '90s Show and How I Met Your Father were criticized for looking and sounding too much like the original series.
By contrast, both How I Met Your Father and That '90s Show kept the style of their predecessors intact. The two spinoffs struggled to stand out as a result. Since How I Met Your Father looked so much like How I Met Your Mother, it became impossible to watch the series without thinking of Ted Mosby and his friends.
Similarly, since That '90s Show maintained the laugh track and recognizable kitschy editing of That '70s Show, the series felt like a facsimile even during its best outings. Meanwhile, Young Sheldon looked and felt nothing like The Big Bang Theory.Young Sheldon adding a voiceover wasn't the most daring stylistic choice that a sitcom has ever made, and the series' early '90s setting means that the spinoff still played into audience nostalgia.
Despite this, Young Sheldon felt fresher than other sitcom spinoffs simply because the series did something new with its material. The Big Bang Theory was a huge success, so it would have been easy for the show's creators to recreate the show's formula with a new cast. Instead, Young Sheldon revisited The Big Bang Theory's lead character with a whole new style. Ultimately, it benefited from making this leap.代表者: 土屋千冬
