by Nellie Andreeva and Patrick Hipes
Sept. 27, 2017

On the heels of "Young Sheldon‘s" stellar Monday premiere, CBS has given a full-season pickup to "The Big Bang Theory" spin-off with an order for nine additional episodes, bringing the comedy’s freshman total to 22 episodes.

It is the first new series of the 2017-18 season to receive a full-season pickup.

Monday’s "Young Sheldon" preview behind the season premiere of "The Big Bang Theory" drew a 3.8 rating in 18-49, and was watched by 17.2 million viewers, retaining an outstanding 98% of its BBT lead-in.

The series starring Iain Armitage as younger version of Jim Parsons’ BBT character, which became the most-watched comedy premiere on CBS since 2011, moves to its regular time period on Thursday, November 2 at 8:30 PM.

The first episode wasn't very funny. Maybe it will get better, maybe not.

I also didn't love it. Too many kids.

I watched it. It was OK I thought as far as TV shows go these days ! I'm not that fond of most new shows and I don't like The Big Band theory very much but I just decided to watch this for whatever reason! The little boy who plays Sheldon is cute .

He kinda looks like my Brother did when he was little. He didn't grow up to look like Jim Parsons though!

I don't know what the show is after one episode and it sucks that it's not coming back until November. I liked it but it was more of a drama than comedy. Just want to find out which way they'll go.

It did not take Nostradamus to guess the first episode with the season premiere of TBBT as lead-in was going to get a full season. I seriously assumed that Jim Parsons new contract probably would have guaranteed a minimum run of episodes. TBBT itself needs to end and I don't see this show lasting without it as a parent show.

Well its about another TV show's character when that character was a kid, so of course there has to be other kids in the show.
