'The Big Bang Theory' and 'Young Sheldon' crossover was everything fans had hoped for
The episode titled 'The VCR Illumination,' saw the need to bring out the "emergency pep talk you made when you were a kid," according to Amy, setting the premise for the crossover
The Thursday episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' made the unthinkable happen. Everybody's beloved nerd from the show, Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), met his boyhood self aka 'Young Sheldon' star (Iain Armitage) and it was spectacular. Granted it was via a videotape, but as the show nears its series finale, fans have been looking forward to this crossover with much impatience, and it's safe to say - they weren't disappointed.
The episode titled 'The VCR Illumination,' starts off on a sad note, with our grown Sheldon (what a paradoxical concept, yes!) upset and depressed upon finding out that the Nobel-seeking theory he constructed with his now wife, Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), has been disproved.
