Read, Repeat

Bazinga! The hit Big Bang prequel is back this fall. If you haven't tuned into the prequel series yet, the show takes a deeper dive into the Big Bang Theory universe, specifically the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, the fan-favorite character played by Jim Parsons. A younger version of the quirky genius gets the spotlight on Young Sheldon, which shows how he navigated high school in a fictional Texas town at just the age of 9.
