Out of all the TV shows ending in 2024 , one of the most popular and highly watched faves was Young Sheldon , the first Big Bang Theory spinoff to hit the small screen. (With at least one more on the way in the form of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage .) The hit dramedy brought together TV vets like Lance Barber and Annie Potts while serving as the first ongoing lead role for Iain Armitage and his younger co-stars.
Which is perhaps why the Sheldon Cooper portrayer had a slightly atypical reaction to filming the final episodes. Speaking with the L.A.
Times about bidding farewell to this origin story of sorts for the Big Bang brainiac, Young Sheldon ’s Armitage talked about the few moments when he was genuinely struck by emotion on the set, but was also candid about not being quite as invested in that respect as other actors. That balance of the scales was perfectly represented when the teen star was asked if he was as “wistful” as his character by way of taking in the experience one last time. According to Armitage: A little bit, but at the same time, if I’m being completely honest, I don’t think I have the mental capability to keep track of all the different lasts.
Because every single day on set for the final three months, everyone was like, ‘Oh, this is the last ...
’ and it’s this random thing. The funniest was when it would be something that we’d never done before. Like Miss Emily Osment held a party at her house on Sunday, which was wonderful.
And some.
