In the landscape of sitcom prequels, Young Sheldon often walks a fine line between childhood whimsy and the dramatic shadow of its parent show, The Big Bang Theory . But Season 1, Episode 7—titled "A Brisket, Voodoo, and Cannonball Run"—proves that the series is at its best when it focuses on the one force more unrelenting than Sheldon’s intellect: Texas family stubbornness.
Sheldon’s B-plot, about the road race, serves as a clever metaphor for the episode's theme: the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but family is never a straight line. Score: 8.5/10 young sheldon s01e07 hdrip
