Why Young Sheldon Is Funnier Than ‘The Big Bang Theory’
Following the immense popularity of The Big Bang Theory, one of its spin-offs was launched; Young Sheldon. Acknowledging this connection, many fans considered it nothing more than a desperate move towards gaining ratings and that the only reason they made this spin-off was simply that they knew the original show couldn’t possibly get any more popular. Eventually, members of The Big Bang Theory fandom turned their negative comments toward Young Sheldon which led to a disagreement between both audiences. However, Young Sheldon is way funnier than The Big Bang Theory.
