Well. It is just as (un)funny as the Big Bang Theory. But in opposite to that, it is really well made. They found a lot of great matches for the roles, and specially Ian as Young Sheldon plays a really convincing role as the Sheldon we all already know. also the mother is a great find, specially since the actress is the daughter of the Tbbt Mary Coopers actress. also it is much better than a sitcom version, and much more serious, but it is as a spin-off totally depending on the Big bang theory. nobody who hasn't watched Tbbt will understand anything in Young Sheldon, since mostly these are inside jokes or they are relations to what already is known from the big bang theory. But, since this is a spin-off, I did not have high hopes, since most spin-offs of great shows are catastrophic. (Friends for example was brilliant while Joeys own show was so bad to be cancelled after two seasons. ) but, since I knew that the Big Bang theory is the most overrated Show of all time, which is in my opinion not even remotely funny, this spin off is much better.

But, still in my opinion the only funny scenes are those with guest stars such as Elon Musk, who also is one of the few person who made a funny Big Bang theory scene.

all in all: I expexted less, but it is quite good and I will keep on watching the show.

If you've seen the Wonder Years, you can pretty well equate this show with that one in many ways.
Of course, in this case, the series is about the younger years of the "funniest" character in another TV show (Big Bang Theory).
Sheldon, I dare say, is the one that cracks most people up in the Big Bang Theory.
This show taps into his young life as a child genius who lives in his own little world.
However, the production team realized early on that they needed to be multi dimensional about this.
I think it is safe to say they got some inspiration from "The Wonder Years" in the way they didn't revolve the show totally around young Sheldon. Other characters show their nuances and get a chance to be "clowns" for a day.
Which is the charm of this show, much as it was for Wonder Years.
