I will miss the show (whether it's vanilla or not) because it will be a touchstone of my childhood.
It had some weak seasons, but the most recent season seemed to be an improvement.
It turns out sheldon killed off the series. Everyone else was willing to sign on for two more seasons. I can understand sheldon being tired, he is very old. If he did two extra seasons, he would be 48!! That is incredibly old any way you slice it. I can't even relate to that sort of old, it is older than my parents.
So, I guess it is okay that it is ending. I don't want a old person hurting himself just so the show can keep going, even if he would make an extra 50 million to cushion the blow.
I don't like young sheldon, it is horribly campy with cheap sets and low production values. I don't like any sitcoms now. Hopefully animation will continue to be interesting. And I am reading more books.
