Why So Many People Hate The Big Bang Theory (But Love Young Sheldon)

Some viewers hated The Big Bang Theory, but why do so many love watching the prequel Young Sheldon if it follows one of the same characters?

It's all answered in that article.

No idea. I thought the last few seasons of BBT were terrible and never like Sheldon so wasn't going to watch any spin offs.

It's easy to hate The Big Bang Theory. A lot of people do it every day without much thought as to why. So let's take a quick look at the Big Bang Theory, it's characters, and it's jokes and see what we can find out.

Not having read the article, I'd venture a guess that they're both completely different shows. The fact that it's the "same character" amounts to little when the age and setting are so vastly different.

YS is not my thing at all. Not saying it's bad for what it is, just not for me. The BBT I sometimes enjoy, at least moments here and there in the first few seasons. As with most sitcoms that I like (to varying degrees), I typically enjoy the early seasons and then lose interest the longer the duration.

It's a show about smart people, but is not written for or aimed at a smart audience.

It's pretty simple. The Big Bang Theory was a show more or less strictly for millennials, while Young Sheldon can be appreciated by older generations for its late 80's and early 90's setting and nostalgia.
