Jessica Radloff: Young Sheldon, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the NYT bestselling author of The Big Bang Theory oral history comes an in-depth and thoroughly reported exploration of its prequel, Young Sheldon, with major revelations about the show, behind-the-scenes stories from every cast member (yes, that includes the fan-favorite actors behind Dr. Sturgis, Veronica Duncan, Paige, and more), and all the heart that made the show beloved.

When Young Sheldon debuted in 2017, no one could have anticipated how The Big Bang Theory prequel would take on a life of its own separate from the mothership. Sure, the now-beloved sitcom was the top-rated scripted show over its seven-season run on CBS, but it truly became a phenomenon when it hit Netflix (as well as TikTok and YouTube), eventually becoming the most streamed show of 2024. Fans of all age ranges and demographics were won over by the show's humor and heart, and the characters and young stars endeared themselves to both Big Bang devotees and viewers who were being introduced to the Cooper family for the first time.

YOUNG SHELDON: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw's-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy is the surprising story of how the wholesome sitcom overcame major challenges off-camera to become a massive show beloved around the globe. Bestselling author and journalist Jessica Radloff delves into the cast and crew's real-life family dynamic behind the scenes, explores the often taboo subjects the writers didn't shy away from, and reveals all the stories behind Big Bang canon-rewriting controversies and the heartbreak and anger over the decision to end the series. She explores a mix of memorable episodes---from the Jon Favreau-directed pilot to Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik's return in the finale---through interviews with the entire cast, co-creators Chuck Lorre and Steve Molaro, writers, producers, guest stars---and even the real-life parents. Fans of the show will love this revelatory behind-the-scenes look into one of the most heartwarming television hits of all time.
