‘Young Sheldon’ Sequel ‘Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’ Is a Reversion to Form for Chuck Lorre: TV Review


'Young Sheldon' sequel series 'Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage' is a reversion to form for producer Chuck Lorre.

After making his name with multi-camera comfort food like “Two and a Half Men,” co-creator and power producer Chuck Lorre has taken a detour into a more polished, single-camera style — not just with “Young Sheldon,” but latter-era efforts like “The Kominsky Method” on Netflix and “Bookie” on Max. With “Georgie & Mandy,” Lorre (along with co-creators Steven Molaro and Steve Holland, both of “Young Sheldon”) is back in both his and his audience’s comfort zone, a shift the show makes explicit in less than a minute of screen time. Some storylines, like grieving the recent loss of Georgie’s father to a heart attack, are carried over from “Young Sheldon”; others, like an abortive attempt to rent an apartment directly abutting a train track, are more specific to the new show.
