But the existence of the prequel Young Sheldon, which depicts the Cooper family back in the late 1980s, introduced viewers to Montana Jordan’s intelligence-lite Georgie Cooper, and the impending rift between the brothers could be witnessed by millions.
Within the show’s history, Sheldon and George haven’t exactly been the best of friends, and The Big Bang Theory made it through eleven full years without setting the two men in the same room together.
It was only natural for Sheldon and George to make up one day, and after seeing how goofy and relatively unchanged George was as an adult, many fans would love to see O’Connell return to keep stressing Sheldon out in ways that no other characters can.
