His father, George, is struggling to find his way as father to a boy he doesnтАЩt understand. SheldonтАЩs mother, Mary, fiercely protects her son in a town where he just doesnтАЩt fit in. SheldonтАЩs older brother, Georgie, does the best he can, but itтАЩs tough to be cool when youтАЩre in the same class with your 9-year-old brother.

Finally, thereтАЩs SheldonтАЩs beloved Meemaw, his salty, hard-drinking Texas grandmother whoтАЩs supportive of her grandson. Big Bang Theory audiences have come to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. This comedy gives us the chance to meet him in childhood, as he embarks on his awkward journey toward the man he will become.
