Correction: It says "Toledo, OH" as in Toledo, Ohio where the company would be based.

Correction: No, it's "The Last Temptation of Christ". Connie even says this on the phone while ordering movies.

Correction: I watched all the scenes at the video store and never saw "The Passion of the Christ." The closest thing that came close was ordering "The Last Temptation of Christ." I would suggest you submit a screenshot of the video.

Mandy is on the phone ordering some more movies. She lists "Passion of the Christ."

Leicaman

Connie was on the phone, not Mandy. And she orders "The Last Temptation of Christ", which came out in 1988. Unless you're talking about a different episode.

No, she lists "Last Temptation of Christ," released in 1988. https://youtu.be/gbFkKuUQJcM?t=119.

Correction: She doesn't say she worked "on IBM's Watson." She said she worked "at IBM's Watson Research Center."

Well done.

Leicaman

Correction: She had the time and could've fixed it.

Correction: Not necessarily; since the second season has begun, they could have progressed to 1990 by this point. It also hasn't been established whether he's had his tenth birthday yet at this point in the series.

Sheldon's birthday is Feb 26, 1980.

Bishop73

I knew his birth year had been established already on BBT; I just didn't know for sure if the date he had a birthday within the parent series corresponded to the "real" world because BBT time only roughly coincides with real-world time in most cases.

While a BBT season may not be a full year or the next episode isn't set one week later (like many sitcoms), because the show relies on pop culture so heavily, like releases of films, etc, I do think BBT is set in the real life timeline, even if a holiday special is set in the "future" (e.g. a Halloween episode is aired 2 weeks before Halloween.) However, with YS being set in the past it can be hard to tell what the exact date is, unless specifically said, and you have to rely on context clues (like a lot of shows set in the real life timeline past). I only replied with his birthday so others could make a decision if the correction is valid. I do not know enough about the episode to know when it's suppose to be set or how long it's been since his birthday (as I did think he was suppose to be 10 in the episode).

Factual error: The commentary suggests that Sheldon had the correct solution to problem 1 and merely lost points on the quiz because he didn't show his work. In reality he did the first problem incorrectly. Taking the derivative of (x+2) ^2+ (y+1) ^2 = 13 with respect to x yields: 2* (x+2) +2* (y+1) * (dy/dx) = 0 which implies that: dy/dx = - (x+2) / (y+1) and at the point (0,2) this means that the slope dy/dx is actually equal to - (2/3), not 2/3. It is correct that when using the form y=mx+b at the point 0,2 reveals that 2=m*0+b, or that b=2. So the correct equation for the tangent line is y = - (2/3) x + 2, not y = (2/3) x + 2 as shown in the episode. (00:13:55)

Trivia: Sheldon's dad, George Sr, is played by Lance Barber. Barber appeared in an episode of "The Big Bang Theory" as a former bully of Leonard, Jimmy Speckerman. Sheldon (and the gang) go with Leonard to meet Jimmy.

More trivia for Young Sheldon

Answer: It is shown numerous time in The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon that Georgir Jr is not the smartest kid going. They simply tell him Sheldon is getting a hair cut as it is believable. It's also shown that Sheldon has had the same style hair cut since he was 5. Since he is 9 in Young Sheldon, he's had the same style for over 4 years already. Easy to overlook that he hadn't actually had it cut after that long.
