* ''Series/YoungSheldon'' is a prequel to ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' that focuses on Sheldon's childhood. Many of the characters and events in ''Young Sheldon'' don't match up with what Sheldon's childhood was said to be like in ''The Big Bang Theory'' (For instance, Billy Sparks isn't a bully[[note]]Except for the pilot[[/note]], and George Sr. is shown to be a flawed, but decent man as opposed to the abusive, misogynistic moron he was painted as in ''Big Bang''). As a result, there's a section of viewers who choose to view ''Young Sheldon'' as an AlternateContinuity. There's also the fact that, in ''The Big Bang Theory'', George is stated to have not only cheated on Mary (with Sheldon having caught him in the act), but died when Sheldon was fourteen, and due to how well-received George's character is within the fandom, many are hoping that ''Young Sheldon'' will ignore or {{retcon}} those events.

** A few gleeks claim they like to cut off all events after "Sectionals", the originally planned Season 1 finale.

** You would be hard-pressed to find ''any'' fan of the show who was happy with the season 6 subplot of Coach Bieste coming out as a trans man. Over the previous four seasons, Bieste had been depicted as a butch straight woman, and had been very well-liked as a nuanced character who strongly refuted the GenderNonconformingEqualsGay trope. It's rare to find any fans retroactively referring to the character as "he".
