What did you think of this episode?
This episode was fine, but TBH I thot the much anticipated finale was a big letdown. Nothing of any profound consequence really. Felt to me like, after all that, they just phoned it in. I was disappointed.
I was a bit disappointed, though there were many good segments. First: two high school staff come to the door to say that George has died. Really? One would speak to the wife in private. It is not their place to blurt it out to the kids.
What was the purpose of the vasectomy? To show how George keeps secrets? It would be discovered by the coroner.
I think they had several story lines that needed developing. They discussed selling the house, before George spoke with the university. Very odd.
@@chasbee i like it. Sheldon and Amy won Nobel Prize. Entire group having dinner later. They continue their lives. Very nice ending
This was hard.. so hard in my heart.. George is one of my favorite character
Seeing Missy breakdown when she found out her dad passed away was the hardest part for me it showed how much she loved him even though she doesn’t say so
For me it was the way Sheldon explored his regrets almost tortyring himself seeing the scene over and over
For me, It was "this wasn't supposed to happen" from Mary
@@seanham1699 nah Missy breaking down and hugging Meemaw was horrible because she might not be that close to her dad anymore but she still loved him
"He is okay.. right?..."
@@MarkSKristensen no Missy he unfortunately passed away
It's heartbreaking because things were starting to look up for the family. And just like Paul Hennessey from 8 simple rules he passes away.
Though fortunately not because the actor died.
@@jonathanhibberd9983 That's not the point
@@CalebJacobs762exactly
I loved 8 simple rules when I was a child. I cried so much when the dad died 😢
I loved the Shrek 2 review
Having lost my dad only 1 1/2 years ago I balled through the whole funeral episode, especially every time Sheldon replayed his father’s last moments.
My condolences got to you and your family
i am so sorry to hear that, hope you and your family are doing better now :(
George was a good husband and a great father! Tears on my face before I was aware of it. Reminded me of my father who passed away 6 years ago.
Same man. It’s so tough watching this stuff
My condolences to you and your family
I am really happy that this Young Sheldon series did not try to demonise Mr George Snr so that his story here will be consistent with how they portrayed him in the Big Bang Theory series 🥺
I agree that is better though it is sad that Sheldon views his father the way he does since we can see from this show he was an amazing father.
Dear @@Charzar816 , so true ... so true 😟
Is not it natural for most kids to have grudges against parents at young age? Especially, Whenever they get scolded or corrected or restricted.. and they grow up to realise it was all for their own good.. and they realise it even more when they themselves become parents.. I guess, grown up Sheldon was not mature enough to understand about his father fully..
@@Charzar816Well technically the show is taken from his own memoir, so it's more like after everything he lived in the Big Bang Theory, and after being a father himself, he learned to see his father in a much better light than he did before
Yeah, I think one thing to note is that this series is not about exactly what happened in the past, but rather how Sheldon remembers it now looking back.
George is by far my favorite character in the series. I can truly relate to him.
Ar-re y-you a g-g-ghost??
This was a brilliant illustration of how family members deal with grief and very different ways. I was crushed when they received the news of his passing but even more so at the funeral. RIP George Cooper 🕊️
this episode hit me like a freight train , i was 14 when my dad died at 42 and at 71 years old this episode killed me , some of the best acting i have ever seen and thats what made this ever so painful
I was 14 when my mom died of cancer at 44...that was almost 22 years ago and I bawled my freaking eyes out during these last 2 episodes.
I knew George's death was eminent but that didn't change the fact that I wasn't ready when it happened
@@HannahDisponett heart crushing , i spent my entire life convincing myself it didn't affect me but we know the truth
@@Anne6621 about 6 months after her death I looked to see what the signs were.
She died of ovarian cancer and being a female I thought it was important to know what to look for.
It said the #1 cause was difficult labor and delivery...I'm my mom's only child and she DEFINITELY had a diff labor and delivery so I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I didn't kill her.
@@HannahDisponett You should not feel guilty because of her death.
Your mother would not want that.
Besides, even if this is the number one cause, probably she would have got cancer without her job.
Additionally, she decided to do this job.
You were too young in order to take any responsibility.
@@AnimeFan-dl4qd thanks
What I found really interesting with this episode was the fact that George was offered a coaching position in Rice University. This episode also seems designed to soften Mary's previous refusal to move on a previous job position where now Sheldon is moving to Caltech, George Junior is married with a child paving a way to their family and Missy wanting to rid that dark shadow of Sheldon being the twin of a child prodigy and somewhat "special".
George Senior was an amazing dad. He was not a "Homer Simpson" but similarly poor however did his best to provide for the family. I actually cried at his death as it brought back memories of my mother's death where I never truly grieved which was over a decade ago.
I would like to hear thoughts on this...
That’s tough, I’m sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience with my non-biological grandfather. He died in 2023 and he used to make the best crinkle fries known to man. I miss him so much. This episode is a tear jerker, even if it ends on a positive note. I hope you’ve came to terms.
😢😢😢
😢😢
I lost my father on 2/1/24. Appreciate the moments you have, be happy when nothing is wrong because one day life will give you a reason to be sad.
Sorry for your loss and I wanna ask smth
Not to be rude but, I just wanna know if it's the second of January(dd/mm/yy) or the first of Feb(mm/dd/yy)srry
@@pranav3151 That's irrelevant.
Last conversation with my dad was about how beautiful our Christmas tree was. It was December 28th and he was in recovery from surgery. He was rushed to the hospital that night and he fell into a coma. Passed away on New Year’s Day. 12 years later and it still hurts. Miss you dad.
I'm so sorry.
@@MissBoop-iq2it Thank you
When my grandfather died and I heard I didn’t cry right away my mother did and some other family member but it just…seeing Sheldon like that it reminded me of me. However after I left to go outside as I needed to get away, that when it happened I just went to a park where me and him use to go when I was younger and just broke down I even had to run to his house like a part of me was thinking “no it’s not real” and…it was empty
Lmao you thought you was special
I had a similar reaction when my grandfather died.
When my grandfather died, I didn't cry when I found out...I didn't cry at his wake...I broke down at the altar when I had to say the Lord's Pray in front of his casket...think of my grandfather ALOT to this day and he passed almost 20 years ago.
I am a grown-up man and yet this still reminds me of when my dad passed away. I wasn't really the type of son who says something sweet or emotional to my parents and I regret that over the years I haven't said I loved him and am thankful for everything he did to me despite the things I did being rebellious now as I've seen this episode I kept on crying regretting the day he died without relaying my appreciation to him being as a great father. I really don't know how to react back then but I realize when people lose their father in general their family cries.
Missy had the realest reaction
As Marry said, He's a fat middle age man who's having a heart attack. We'll miss you. The show became even more great when they focused less on Shelly.
They had to flesh out the others to open up more story lines. I feel the same
Yup, the writers did a good job, the show was getting boring pretty fast by focusing just and Sheldon weird personality, but it turned out really good
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
Keep smiling through, just like you always do!
😢
Beautiful
We all knew the outcome of George Sr...MeeMaw saved a truly heart breaking scene at George funeral..by using humor ...and it made a hard situation a little better
I just watched it and I'm crying because it reminds me of my dad I never really say I love him or even talk to him and if he dies then what I have nothing
Better fix that.
I'm talking to your dad right now, he says he should've made your mom get an abortion
I remember in one of the episodes George said it’ll end over my dead body and Mary said maybe it will and that may or may not have foreshadowed the show ending over his dead body
you know it was his final days bc everytime he ever got a new job or was "coming up" his wife tore it down
She was a good mom but a terrible wife!
“See y’all later!”… If that’s his actual final words; that’s the funniest joke in the whole show. 😅
My Dad died when I was 9. The last things we said to each other were: "I love you, see you in the morning."
By 4am on 6/27/08- I did not in fact see him in the morning.
Nah, dude. It's just sad.
@@ZacharySiplesorry for your loss
@@ZacharySiple🙏(chain this for respect)
Are you silly?
This was such a well done episode. Great acting. It felt so real. I could not stop crying. Seeing how differently every one took it reminded me of how my mom, me and my two siblings also dealt in different ways when our dad died.
Honestly, I love how his death isn't milked for drama. It would have been so easy to write the heart attack happening at home with the whole family rushing him to the hospital where they all say heartfelt goodbyes. Instead, it's handled in an arguably more tragically realistic way, by having nothing seem out of the ordinary. Gearge just leaves for a typical day at work, only to never comes back. We don't even see him have the heart attack, and instead receive the news in exactly the same way the family does.
It really captures just how sudden and unexpected death can be.
There’s a lot of us who had fathers like George in the comment section.
A larger than life, loving in their own special way father who passed too soon.
My dad passed away two days before 4th of July 2014. My parents had just celebrated 25 years of marriage,
I had moved in with my then girlfriend,now wife, 6 months before. My brother had just graduated high school a month before.
I woke up to my cousins pounding on our apartment door, it was like a strange dream that I never woke up from! Miss you dad!
The fact that George said “see ya later!” And then died is so sad😢
Anyone who has lost there father at a young age can relate to this alot. Bawled my eyes out watching just these short clips because its something that you felt before
Saturday May 18th, 2024
I can relate to this. Years ago when I was in elementary school, my Uncle Lee passed away in the hospital due to a heart attack.
Thank you to Chuck Lorre for having compassion on us, the audience. It was still such a sad episode, but there was hope
Things finally looked good for the Cooper family and then it took a dark turn :(
just like real life
I liked how it was real and not some theatrical death with the family crowded around a hospital bed while George said a dramatic final line. Between that and Sheldon's replaying of their final moment with different endings, I thought this was the best character death on TV since Joyce died on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
My dad also passed away unexpectedly about 2 years ago. I was a freshie leaving for a school trip and the last thing we said to each other was "See you in a few days." I found out later that he died just a few hours before I would get back from the trip, even though he was perfectly healthy. I never really watched Young Sheldon but this scene made me tear up.
When my dad died 2 years ago, I was the only one in the hospital and was holding out hope until it got really worse. Up until that moment, in the back of my head - he will pull through. As with Missy's reaction, she was hoping.
My mother never visited the hospital, and looking back - I think the moment we all found out my dad had a heart attack, she knew. My father was hospitalized around 3 weeks but for some reason my mother had started grieving.
This is what got me, when Mary opened the door she did not ask if he's okay or if he survived. Her expression showed she knew while Missy was waiting to hear that he's still alive so she can go to him.
We have this view of our parents, especially our Dads as strong and though we watch them grow old, it's so engraved in us that our fathers, will always be like he is. And as a daughter who suffered a father's death, I felt that in this episode
Fun fact.. the actor who played young Sheldon's dad(Lance Barber) ALSO played Leonard's high-school bully from The Big Bang Theory.
I started watching young sheldon first and then watched big bang theory and noticed him immediately.. both shows are great in their own perspective.
Sadly his last moments are so real. My mom did the same thing before she died. She went to work and never came home. That devastated me more than anything. You always remember that last moment. I am sitting here crying, remembering how awesome she was.
Live Long and Prosper.
Sheldon's way of saying I love you, dad.
The way I bawled during this episode
My father is currently in the ICU unit, he's not talking or opening eyes for the last few days.
I'm an Asian living abroad, have debts & family responsibilities. I'm trying my best to gather money so my father can make it. Rest is depends on God. Being an Asian is hard, I feel guilty for not having enough to give them a better life.
I request everyone to pray for him and my family.
Omg I hope there will be more seasons I love this show 😮
I never watched young Sheldon but I seen some clips and wow that is truly heartbreaking😢
My Dad passed away almost 6 years ago. His last words to me were, "See you late" There's not many TV shows that have moved me, this one did
As a man. Georgie situation is the hardest. You are sad, but you need to be strong for your family. You can't replace your dad, but you need to try your best.
It is nice to know that even the creators regretted having Sheldon's dad die in The Big Bang because they had no idea how much the fans would fall in love with his character and the Coopers themselves.
I don't know if they regrated him dying. I mean the show was ending this season anyway, and this was certainly a very powerful story beat to end on.
I do think they regrated how in Big Bang he was described as an abusive alcoholic who cheated on his wife, and pretty much spent the whole of young Sheldon walking that back by showing it more as ways in which Sheldon misunderstood his father.
“See y’all later” remember these words. never forget them.
I'm glad he had such a nice goodbye. It's very lovingly,decent. Like you said it's about Coopers and especially Sheldon dealing with grief. I think they turned out ok. I watched very little of the show. Sheldon goes to Caltech where he will meet Leonard,Howard and Raj,through them Amy. And meeting he's and Leonard new neighbour-Penny. Very nice ending
We watched this episode while it was on the tv and my parents and my sister cried so hard
“see y’all later!”
he really meant later 💀
what??
@@crerel later like in heaven when they die
@@raquellrachel sheldon is not going to heaven, he can bite the curb
I cried when I found out from class mates and I saw a clip and I cried again
This was a sad to episodes for me even though I knew the inevitable. I lost my dad around 21 years of age to a heart attack and about 4 years later I lost my mother. I was the one to find them both at different times in my life, and even now I'm tearing up thinking about those days and how much I miss them
" see y'all later "
😔
Wow see yall later. No more greater words have ever been spoken by anyone ever
Sad, he was one of my favorite characters.
One of the things that was, in my opinion, left out of both the young Sheldon and the big bang theory was resolving Sheldon's mistake regarding Georges supposedly being unfaithful to Mary. In TBBT Sheldon relates about seeing his Father with another woman to Penny and that is why he always knocks three times before opening a door. But if you recall in the young Sheldon it was actually Mary with a blond wig role playing the part of a young German Hausfrau with George that Sheldon barged in on. There was no "other woman". I think there should have been a scene in TBBT where Sheldon relates this to Mary and the she enlightens Sheldon about what he really saw. Had this happened, Sheldon might have seen George in an entirely new light.
You see, George was not a bad Father or husband. He was just a guy trying to do his best for his family. Yes, he made mistakes as we all do. Yes, he clashed with his sons as all Fathers do at some point in time. But when it came to his little girl, George shone just like most Fathers do with their Daughters. And when it came to Mary, how many times did George put his thoughts and feelings away to protect and fight for her?
Being a Father and Husband is not an easy job. There are times when the pressure can be crushing and you just want to walk away. But you don't. You don't because you know that if you walk away you will be letting everyone down including yourself. If you walk away you can never face yourself in the mirror again because you know you did the wrong thing. If I were a betting man I would be willing to put money on Georges last thoughts. It wouldn't be, "Oh God, I'm going to die." It would actually be "Oh God not now. Who is going to be there for them if you take me now?"
it's sad that George never got to know the recipe of Meemaw's steak
He got it from Sheldons memory .
It felt so real
Yup, there goes that show
Bruh 😂 he said “see ya’ll later
How is this funny? Dude, is your heart made of stone?
I know that feeling. I lost my father last May as well. The way Sheldon reacted in the show was exactly how I felt. No one was near me at the time, and I was arguing with the doctors pointlessly to somehow release that overwhelming tension. The saddest part is that the last thing I said to my papa was during an argument. It still haunts me, even though he laughed it off. I'm not the type of person who cries easily, but since I was alone, I was able to cry my heart out because my mom wasn't there while I was watching this episode. The way Sheldon tried to think of alternative reality scenarios was exactly what I did for a week or so. Thanks for this series.
I love george cooper honestly cause he reminded of my dad and how many hard ships we had to go through I just hope mine dies of old age😭
its like real life the dying in bed surrounded by family rarely happens sometimes you just get a call and your worlds destroyed without warning.
As sad as Lance likely was to die before the final episodes I'm sure he was thrilled to see the outpouring of love and affection and to know that he was ... missed. ❤
Im crying rn
I cried so much after George died.
This scene hits kinda hard personally, my dad passed away when I was 23, also due to a heart attack in his sleep. His last words were "see you tomorrow" unfortunately that tomorrow never came..
I don’t know why it is not a good thing but when it showed his last words I just started to laugh
While we're all still together. This is a sign.
“see you all later” thats it??!!
I hated they killed George off. Cried the whole episode just hated it. Always looked forward to watching for the laughs. They were ending the series anyway don't understand why they ended it that way 😥
Are you serious? Or are you being sarcastic?
I just watched it tonight. It was a double hanky event. While being a comedy and both a prequel, it was also in a way like watching the movie "The Titanic". You know going into it there is gonna be a bad ending.
If you were a fan of The Big Bang Theory, set 15 years after Young Sheldon, older Sheldon frequently talked about his dad and how he died right before he went to CalTech at age 14. So the writers were already constrained with that fact and the prequel followed that. I already knew when I started the show what, 7 years ago that one day the dad was gonna die. But I rationalized that day was not today and just enjoyed the show.
are you kidding? we all knew he's die before Sheldon would go to college, from TBBT.
Knew he was dead by the time Sheldon went to college just didn't know that they would actually end series that way
when I was watching episode 12 through 14 , I busted out crying😭😭😭
Reminded me of my dad who died 6 years back. I was like sheldon. Surprised, Shocked.
Best character for me
why would they end the entire series on a low note....?
It was always meant to happen. His death was inevitable, and it canonically happened shortly before Sheldon moved to California at 14. This is how things were foretold to happen. Doesn't make it any less heartbreaking though, George was such a lovable guy, and the show made you forget he dies young.
Dose a great job illustrating the fragility of life, one day a person is great and everything is peachy, but then something like this just jumps out of and then things are not peachy. Such is life.
The dad was my fav character in that program
Second was Mee-maw
thats the same way my dad passed away
Mines too
I hate that they didn’t allow George to have a little measure of success. They could have allowed him to go work at Rice for a while.
“See y’all later”
i lost my dad on Janurary 19th, the last time we "spoke" wasn't even a conversation, he was under drugs and machines, so he could only hear me cry and beg him to forgive me because due to his actions in and out of the hospital he was put on comfort care, me having to make the choice...i know he would've wanted to not be in pain anymore, he always complained about it, but it hurts me so that I didn't get to say goodbye, I've felt so empty since then
rest in piece George Sr., you would have loved facebook
Great Dad, no one in that family gave him the credit he was due for everything he silently endured to keep them together.
And he delivered. We do indeed see him later as Leonard's high school bully
This scene actually affected me
I feel amused at those who get overwrought at a TV show😮
I’d say any final words from anyone are special.
I watched all the seasons but the most one was one when he died😢
Wait so there’s only 5 seasons on Netflix at the minute 🗿
This just shows that a fathes love is unconditional
Now spend some time with your fathers and mothers
Cherish these small moments that for now looks like nothing, that will mean something.
And so will i
I’m sad that he passed away in the movie.But I am happy that he did not pass away in real life
He will pass away one day in real life also, we all will .
Man I’m dead - George senior
We knew we were only getting 2-3 more episodes and he had to die at some point
As if no one would message her to say George has had a heart attack!
Is that how you would want to receive bad news, in a text?
The show is set in 1980s
He died instantly...it wasnt just a run of the mill heart attack...when someone dies the news is best delivered personally!!!
@@computerexperts903, early 90s I believe
You don’t realize something until it is too late or gone
Well I just hope there will be a new spinoff where we see everybody is moving on after dad's death, story about missy, georgie and mandy, meemaw and dale.
Wouldnt the police be the ones to tell them first though
Sometimes the news is best delivered by friends.
Man, it was good to see Bill Ponderosa finally clean himself up and have a family
I cryed when George died
"Bye y'all"😢
Where can you watch season seven in the UK !!!!!
For the love of God how hard is it to find a clip without someone talking over it..
There are many
There are many such clips
I hate that found out through a short! I had no clue his character is taken out.
George's last words are normal because you never know what's going to happen to you once you leave the house.
Exactly...my mom's final words as she went to the hospital were "See you in a couple days"...she died less than a week later
@HannahDisponett I'm sorry to hear that.
