Young Sheldon Should Feature an Offscreen Death for George Sr.
Including the Cooper patriarch's demise yet keeping it offscreen could be the best way for Young Sheldon to preserve its parent series' lore.
As Young Sheldon creeps toward its series finale, a few loose ends from The Big Bang Theory still need tying up. The biggest of these is the event that shaped the genius's entire adolescence and young life: the death of George Sr. We know from Big Bang that the Cooper family was thrown into chaos when they lost their patriarch. Sheldon went to school in California, leaving Georgie and Mary to try to hold the family together. We never saw George Sr. on The Big Bang Theory outside of flashbacks, but his death significantly shaped the normally emotionally challenged Sheldon's upbringing.
