Obviously, from reading some reviews here, there are people who wouldn't enjoy life if they won the lottery! I think this is a great show! I love watching this little boy, and I think they did a great job choosing the rest of the cast. His sister is cute as she can be & a little wise-ass, which makes her even more appealing. The brother is adorable, too--his complete lack of concern about much of anything concerning Sheldon is funny. I love their accents. The dad is a little surprising, as older Sheldon always gave the impression that he wasn't really close to his dad--although these shows have shown some strong attachment in instances. The younger Mary Cooper is perfect---she has older Mary Cooper's voice, mannerisms--everything down pat! And I LOVE MEEMAW! The first show where all of Sheldon's teachers were complaining about him was hilarious--especially the guy with the wet armpits & Sheldon volunteering to be his leader! (True Sheldon). This little boy does an amazing job of capturing Sheldon's expressions, mannerisms, etc. You watch him & think, "This is where it started." I LOVE IT!
