Summary The Young Sheldon spinoff benefited from its darker and more serious storytelling approach compared to The Big Bang Theory. The family-centric approach in Young Sheldon allowed for deeper exploration of characters and more poignant character arcs. Sheldon's ability to provide levity in The Big Bang Theory gave the creators of Young Sheldon the confidence to delve into heavier themes and storylines.
While The Big Bang Theorydid have a few dramatic plots, the show missed out on its spinoff Young Sheldon's smartest storytelling choice. The Big Bang Theory might have spawned Young Sheldon but the two shows are arguably equally popular at this stage.
Not only that but dropping The Big Bang Theory's laugh track allowed Young Sheldon to experiment with darker stories than its predecessor. Like most hang-out shows, The Big Bang Theory generally stuck to romance, work, and socializing as its main themes.
While its central group of friends was a lot geekier than the heroes of How I Met Your Mother or New Girl, The Big Bang Theory functioned much like those shows when it came to themes and storylines. In contrast, Young Sheldon's family-centric approach allows the show to explore darker, more serious plots and interrogate its characters more deeply as a result.Even The Big Bang Theory's most dramatic romances can't compare to the heavier family drama of Young Sheldon.
While the friendship between The Big Bang Theory's main group ran deep, her gang never relied on each other the way that the Coopers are often forced to.
As such, The Big Bang Theory's central clique didn't face issues as serious as those that plague Young Sheldon's heroes. Young Sheldon dropped The Big Bang Theory's bullying jokes, but the show replaced gags about Sheldon's childhood torment with stories about infidelity, unemployment, financial struggles, unplanned pregnancy, teenage rebellion, and mental illness. While The Big Bang Theory might have featured dry one-liners about these topics, the sitcom never took them seriously for multiple episodes at a time.The reason that Young Sheldon can pursue plot lines about unhappy marriages, the Church's influence over the Coopers, George's upcoming affair and death, or Missy's rebellion is that the show's creators had years of experience using Sheldon to lighten up The Big Bang Theory's sadder scenes. The Big Bang Theory proved that Sheldon could be relied on to provide a moment of levity in even the bleakest scene, so the creators of the spinoff inevitably felt more comfortable exploring heavier themes as a result. When Young Sheldon copied The Big Bang Theory's decision to broaden its focus, the spinoff also tried to take its characters more seriously and succeeded.
