As such , it makes sense thatYoung Sheldonturned Sheldon ’s father into a sweet everyman instead of the philandering drunk Sheldon described .
Similarly , Young SheldonchangingThe Big Bang Theory ’s Meemawinto a free - spirited rebel allowed the show to have more fun with the character than her original , more staid incarnation . However , the changes that the prequel made to the early show sometimes fare at a cost to its make canyon .

In season 7 , sequence 8 , “ An Ankle Monitor and a Big Plastic Crap House , ” Meemaw discovered that she would not only lose the issue of her gambling elbow room but also any access to her licit launderette business while on trial . This mean that the cash - strapped Meemaw has no direction of rebuilding her home after it was destroy by a tornado , while Georgie is now unemployed with a immature child to feed . AlthoughMeemaw and Dale’sYoung Sheldonrelationshipshone despite these dire events , there is no doubt that this is the most serious legal struggle Sheldon ’s grandmother has faced .

Sheldon and George Sr ’s similaritiesironically mean that the couple never really saw middle to oculus , so it is withering that their final days together are spent worrying about a court case . Missy ’s rebellion is an even more obvious font of this problem rearing its head .
