* WritersCannotDoMath: Missy confirms that Mary was in highschool while George was "like, twenty five" when they got together. According to ''The Big Bang Theory'', George was fifty years old when he died and Sheldon was fourteen when it happened. Sheldon and Missy were born in February of 1980, placing George's death in either 1994 or early 1995, meaning that George was born in 1944. Georgie was fourteen in the first season of ''Young Sheldon'', which takes place in 1989, placing his year of birth in 1975. George would have been thirty-one years old when Georgie was born. Since it was stated that Georgie was conceived out-of-wedlock, and that George and Mary were more or less forced to get married because of it, it's unlikely that they were together for years before having Georgie. So unless George's age has been changed or Missy was wrong and George didn't bother correcting her, this doesn't add up.
