39 'Young Sheldon' Quotes Showing Their Personalities

"Young Sheldon," as the name of the show suggests, is about the early life of one of "The Big Bang Theory's" main characters, Sheldon Cooper, a child prodigy who has trouble fitting in.

His trouble fitting in stems from his being highly intelligent beyond his age and those around him, including his family consisting of his father (George), mother (Mary) big brother (Georgie), and twin sister (Missy). He has unique intellectual abilities, but that doesn't automatically make him a social guru.

Because of the history behind it, "Young Sheldon" was much anticipated, and it didn't disappoint. Its hilarious takes on intelligence, good looks, family, and so much more brought fans many funny moments and quotes.
