Watch “Young Sheldon” Learn the Confusing Details About Catholicism and Mormonism
January 12, 2018 by Hemant Mehta

We’ve already seen the main character on CBS’ Young Sheldon challenge his family and a pastor on their beliefs. Last night’s episode went even further into the budding atheist’s exploration of religion.

After getting “caught” playing Dungeons & Dragons, Sheldon’s mother tried to push more religion onto him, only to have Sheldon begin researching as many faiths as possible (like a good scientist). That led to him straight-up asking his friend to explain Catholicism and a librarian to explain Mormonism.

who thinks the show is lame. All my friends and family like it, so obviously there's something wrong with me. But I find the acting bad, the plots lame, and the whole thing simplistic and silly. Maybe it's just sitcoms. Not a fan.

I think the show isn't bad, but certainly not as good as many other sitcoms. The bar is pretty low on TV nowadays when you grew up with shows like "All in the Family" like I did!

I seem to be the only one I know who thinks Big Bang Theory is lame. Everyone else I know loves it.

I didn't like the first episode of "Young Sheldon" but became hooked with the second episode.

For those who say "It's not funny" ~
it's in keeping with the personality of 'Dr Sheldon Cooper'.

We're watching his memories of his childhood.

Any who want 'slapstick' can watch "I Love Lucy" on Youtube.
