Mary’s New Young Sheldon Season 7 Enemy Solves Georgie & Mandy Spinoff’s Biggest Problem
The Big Bang Theory Franchise Cheapens Sheldon & Penny’s Oldest Bonding Scene From 16 Years Ago
The Big Bang Theory franchise cheapens Sheldon and Penny’s oldest bonding moment 16 years ago via Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. After the end of Young Sheldon, Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro, and Steve Holland re-teamed to essentially continue the Coopers’ life in Texas, even after Sheldon has left.

In addition to that, “Soft Kitty” isn’t exclusively used when someone is sick, as Sheldon claimed in The Big Bang Theory.

Sheldon Annoyed His Way Into Penny’s Heart
“Soft Kitty” was first introduced in The Big Bang Theory season 1, episode 11, “The Pancake Batter Anomaly,” which is arguably one of the most underrated outings of the series. In it, Sheldon woke up sick. Because Leonard, Raj, and Howard knew full well what his condition entailed, all of them got away from him as quickly as possible. This led Sheldon to The Cheesecake Factory, where he pestered Penny instead. The rest of the outing saw them paired up, in one of The Big Bang Theory‘s earliest ploys to establish their friendship.
