Georgie And Mandy's First Marriage

[JamesOttoSweetHeart]

So, tonight the first episode of this show was put out there and it ended a few minutes ago. What does everyone think so far? I loved when Georgie stood up for Mandy and Cee Cee, but I cried when he gave Mandy's dad a hug because I knew that Mr. Cooper was on Georgie's mind. The way that the episode ended was sweet, but I do hope that Georgie and Mandy are able to get a better place of their own soon.

God bless you and the cast always!!!

I’ll check it out in the next few days.

We loved Young Sheldon. I don’t expect this to be nearly as good, but hopefully it’s watchable.

Hopefully Georgie’s family will make some cameo appearances. Based off previews it seems to be about Mandie’s side of the family.

^^^ MeMaw and Mrs. Cooper were both shown during tonight's episode and I believe that Missy will be shown next week.

God bless you always!!!

I really enjoyed everything about the first episode except the laugh track. They made a meta comment about it during the show, but it just felt out of place following the success Young Sheldon had without it. I guess I'll have to get used to it. It was great to see all the cast members recapture their old magic - especially Georgie.

It’s weird seeing these characters in a traditional sit-com format. It’ll take awhile to get used to it.

I did not enjoy it at all. The whole sitcom feel just doesn't fit with what we know about these characters to the point it felt like they weren't even the same characters.

I didn’t like the opening theme it doesn’t fit the character and the sitcom doesn’t work either. If there’s a season 2 I hope they get rid of both the opening and sitcom.

I feel like the show got taken over by Apple TV+'s Dark Matter and shifted it to an alternate universe where TV is a lot worse.

not a fan, but will give it a few more weeks.

My wife couldn't stand the constant laugh track. For me it was a little too much "traditional sitcom" then either BBT or YS, but I'll give it some time since I am invested in the characters. I mean heck, I did survive all of Fuller House.

Edit:
Story wise, we do know that Georgie is successful in the future from BBT, so nice to see the seeds of that. I had wondered how they were going to deal with other cast members from YS, so good to see a cameo from Mary and Connie.

That opening was just plain bizarre, indeed.

Yep, however good Emily Osment looked in that dress, I wasn't a fan of the title sequence or the incidental music, both of which felt OTT & completely out of place. Mandy's weird brother kinda came out of nowhere too (was he even mentioned before on Young Sheldon? ). Other than that I enjoyed it. It was just nice to spend some more time with those characters.

The switch to 'standard sitcom' will take some adjustment. It does feel a lot broader than YS. Will Sasso has had the smoothest transition to the new format so far & was the highlight of the first episode for me.

I just checked and Mandy’s brother was in season 6 episode 12 of Young Sheldon. They recast the role for Georgie and Mandy.

^^^ I hate when that happens. Unless the original actors aren't available to be the characters again, I have never understood why recasting takes place.

God bless you and both actors always!!!

Sometimes the actors are signed on to another role or contract disputes can cause it.

Yeah Mandy’s brother was in like 1 maybe 2 episodes.

I thought it was ok.... will keep watching, but I don't have a good feeling about it as of now.

[JamesOttoSweetHeart]

Tonight's show was good, but one thing I'd like to know is if Mr. Cooper will ever be shown at all. Will we be given a flash back or will he appear to Georgie during one of his visits later on?

God bless you always!!!

P.S. It was good to see Missy tonight, but what I want to know about her is why she got suspended the first time and why she says that she is alone a lot. Yes, it's true that she only has her mom to come home to now, but you would think that her school friends would be keeping her company since they are still around due to the fact that she and her parents never did move like they were planning to.

[salz4life]

I've already forgotten... how far did we go into the future on this? Was it just a few months after Mr. Cooper's death or was it more? I ask because Missy looked a couple years older than she did in Young Sheldon. Maybe it's just me...

[drb999]

It’s only been a few months since George Sr. died.
