Young Sheldon: George Death Update Makes Big Bang Theory Plot Holes Worse
Lance Barber's latest update about George's impending death makes Young Sheldon's The Big Bang Theory plot holes worse. The CBS comedy is currently on hiatus after wrapping up season 5. As Young Sheldon season 6 nears, however, so is the Cooper patriarch's demise, as previously established on The Big Bang Theory.
