Comic book store owner Stuart Bloom is tasked with restoring reality after he breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, accidentally bringing about a multiverse Armageddon. Stuart is aided in this quest by his girlfriend Denise, geologist friend Bert and quantum physicist/all-around pain in the ass Barry Kripke. Along the way, they meet alternate-universe versions of characters we’ve come to know and love from The Big Bang Theory. As the title implies, things don’t go well.
The premise of this is ridiculous. The Big Bang Theory really jumped the shark when they sent Howard to space. But them inventing a Time Machine? Idk this just seems silly to me.
Howard in space was only "funny" ridiculous but that was the point - job-wise he is an aerospace engineer at Cal-tech, so becoming an astronaut made perfect sense to me.
But speaking of ridiculous....a single, hot, waitress/actress moves in alone into an apartment across from some nerds who then become best friends, falls in love with one of them and marries him :lol:
However big the inclusion of Time Travel or a Time Machine is...as long as every reference to the original show is accurate and falls into continuity I am happy with whatever they come up with.
And I want to see the time machine from the movie The Time machine again :)

yeah, it can't be about time travel because that was one of the key underpinnings of the room mate agreement, they had to return to the apartment on that exact moment if either of them invented time travel.
Hehe, but I don't think Stuart or one of the others ever signed that agreement :)

Everything about The Big Bang Theory is ridiculous, might as well break the universe a bit. I think it's not about time travel, but multiverse stuff.

Seems like this has some Future Man vibes? No idea who thought this might be a good idea, much less why they greenlit it, but apparently it'll be an HBO project (the other shows are all CBS), and their shows tend to at least have a decent production value behind them so... we'll see?

I'm guessing that's the point: To be over the top ridiculous.
I mean... Sliders wasn't exactly 'hard sci-fi' accurate either and was good for its first 4-5 seasons too.
Fallout was kinda ridiculous with giant catfish with fingers for teeth, but that didn't stop it from being a fun watch for a season or two.

Did Young Sheldon actually end up being any good? I watched the first season but wasnt too impressed.
I enjoyed the earlier seasons. Towards the end it became more and more a "modern comedy" where a great focus is going into dramatization...still finished it and thought it was worthwhile.
Thanks buddy, might consider picking it up again.

I'll give it one season because... well... that's all this is going to get. 1 streamer season of 8-10 shows.
It will have a nostalgia factor for Big Bang Theory fans. Then that will wear off. I don't expect to see it renewed *UNLESS* then filmed seasons 1 and 2 at the same time just like a lot of shows do to keep down costs and logistics.
I thought the same about Young Sheldon, and then there were 7 seasons :)
