Back to #2564 - Chuck Lorre, with Chuck Lorre.
Why Did Young Sheldon Work With an All-new Cast?
Joe Rogan said the miraculous chemistry of All in the Family was gone, and the same thing happened with Joey from Friends. The chemistry of that cast did not travel. He said not to think a hit travels.
Joe Rogan called Young Sheldon impressive because it is a kind of spinoff and it is not one. Everyone is new. The only inkling of The Big Bang Theory is Jim Parsons narrating. You never see him. He tells the story of a child in East Texas, and that narration was the only link. Joe Rogan said Chuck Lorre pulled off the chemistry in two completely different environments about the same character. He called the result a roll of the dice, and it worked.
