Young Sheldon S01e14 Bd5 -
– Mary worries about the social side effects of Sheldon’s obsession with the machine, while George Sr. attempts to teach Sheldon the value of “real” experiences (e.g., going fishing). Missy and Georgie each have their own subplot about dealing with peer pressure at school.
A solid character-driven episode that balances Sheldon’s quirks with genuine family drama. Not the funniest of S01, but one of the most rewatchable. BD5 quality is excellent—clean dialogue in the 5.1 mix and no compression artifacts. young sheldon s01e14 bd5
