The hardest episode to watch in my history of watching TV series.

I had to pause this episode so many times to do something else. And returned watching again just to pause it again. I tried so hard not to be emotional, but I failed.

Pausing didn't help. I need to skip 10 seconds forward just so I finish watching it.

This is supposed to be a comedy. Why I'm not laughing? In The Big Bang Theory, when Howard's mother died, it was emotional, but still some scene are extremely funny as hell. In this episode of YS, every scene is so emotional.

Was it because the series has ended? And I'm going to miss this series.

In my life i have watched a lot of TV shows and movies but i never felt like this before , even tough all the people we see in this Tv show are not real they make you fall in love with them like they are .

I have never actually cried on a Tv show or movie in all my life , but i really could not hold it in with these last episodes.

Honestly the ending of this series was done in a beautiful way and i will always remember it . Because in a lot of scenarios you can relate to it , and it can teach you what you should do in life... These last 3 episodes taught me that!

I will always miss this series because it truly was amazing , but im glad that at least we're getting the Georgie and Mandy spin off .

Seldom do I write reviews for TV shows, but this episode killed me. Stab to the heart. Hit way too close to home. I lost my mother on February 5, 2023. She was 37 years old, I was sixteen. There's nothing in this world I wouldn't give to have her back. She was one of the kindest people the world has ever seen.

I knew this episode was coming for years and I didn't think it would be that emotional, after all Young Sheldon is a comedy, but one couldn't be more wrong. Funeral's depiction of grief covers every base out there. Not a single personal emotion, and it spans everyone in the series. Personally I was like Sheldon Cooper when I lost my mom. I constantly thought back on the last time I saw her similarly unexpected passing. I always think about how different would it be if I just talked to her a little more. Gave her one more hug, fought a little less. Even knowing that the past can never change, it's equally worth thinking about. My Dad reminded me of Missy, not exclusively because of the anger, but because of the emotions. Missy shows it the most, and so did my Dad. Missy's character throughout being so naive and sheltered at times really tore me up, especially when she asks "Why are they laughing?" at the funeral.

We never did a ceremony for my Mom, we invited everyone to view her body and say goodbye, but we were too broken and too rushed to plan a ceremony. At my Mom's funeral I saw people I hadn't seen in YEARS come in to pay their respects. That's how this episode feels too. We get to see characters who have been gone for SEASONS revisit and give their final goodbye. Mr. Givens? Brenda Sparks? Welcome back!

Seeing people care is what made it for me. It's been easy for me to forget how so many other people cared about me during the grieving process. I broke down in front of so many people who merely wished to check on me during the following weeks. Seeing Dr. Sturgis and Wayne come in and say the exact verbatim phrase "if you ever need anything, I'm here" all throws me back to those succeeding moments. I can't help but continue crying writing this because this episode felt like a one-to-one recreation of the situation I was in; The situation my entire family was in. There were an abundance of similarities between my situation and the Cooper's: younger parent, still a kid, unexpected, many visitors, southern charm. They made an episode about my life. How can it not be one of the greatest ever made?

Loss is so hard. Losing my mother at sixteen changed who I was as a person. This episode makes me feel so seen. Nothing in this I would've changed (except them making Wayne a joke). Beautiful episode, television peaked on May 16, 2024.

I would have never expected Young Sheldon to be the show to get me to cry, I never cry to television. Grave of the fireflies wasn't enough, hachiko nearly did, but this got me there. It does an extremely good job of depicting how different people grieve, especially how children and young adults deal with it. I want to give special praise to how they depicted Sheldon's grief and how others react to it. Extremely well done.

Intermitting the points of grief with comedy allows the show to really breathe. You get to appreciate the character development that has gone into the show. Rarely does a season finale get to be this complete.

I'm not even a long time fan of Young Sheldon or the Big Bang Theory but my brother is so I dip into it sometimes. I've also watched lots of clips online for a while and I always enjoyed this family and these characters so my heart was torn in half after George Cooper's death. Due to this tragedy, me and some of the fam sat down to watch this episode and it was honestly so difficult to contain my emotions. So many scenes from Missy looking at George's empty chair to of course the funeral itself, I just wanted to burst into tears. Because of my attachment to these characters it really felt like I was there during the funeral.

This genuinely was one of the most devastating and heartbreaking episodes of television I've ever sat through. I find it odd that such a comedic and lighthearted show has ended on such a depressing note, but we all knew it was going to happen.

There are enough words that can say what a great job they did on this episode. It hits every point on the emotional spectrum. I've done my share of crying at a few really sad movies, but this is my first time bawling during a sitcom and I'm sure I'm not alone. The writing in this episode is stellar. The way the writers were able to tug at your heartstrings from start to finish was epic. But the acting of all the primaries was even more stellar. I can't say enough about the quality of the performances of all of the actors. They hit it out of the park with this one, every single one of them. This episode will go down as one of the greatest sitcom episodes of all time.

What can I say? After we all had our hearts ripped out last week it was so good to see the first act with the characters not in tears but delivering the comedy we have loved since day one of this show. Then the scenes with George Sr. Started and what could Sheldon have said to his father that he didn't. Very poignant. Also seeing many of the characters making final appearances even if for a second was a real treat. I was especially happy to see Brenda and Billy Sparks. The scene with Billy and Missy was so precious.

Then comes the second act. The funeral. I cried. Everyone I've talked to that watched cried. What a powerful show all of us fans have fallen in love with the Cooper family because their story is real and it hits so close to home.

I watched this just a few days before my own father's 2 year anniversary of his passing. My wife walked into the room and asks me what I'm watching (I'm not sure she's ever seen an episode...not her style of TV). I can't explain as I'm bawling my eyes out. This blubbering fool tried to sum up 7 seasons and made no sense at all.

It was so well written and true to the heart. Whomever has lost a parent whether suddenly or after a prolonged illness can related to the feelings the writers so accurately convey to each of the characters. Incredibly well done.

Rest in peace George. Raising one in your memory.

I hate you!!!!

I hate you!!!! I hate you!!!!

I hate you!!!! I hate you!!!! I hate you!!!!

I have been watching this show since day one. And the most important factor keeping me watching the show was the cast. Even the child cast - now young adults, of course - has been AMAZING!

As audience we have had some serious connections with the characters as they are not some unrealistic sit-com schmucks.

Mary, a loving wife trying her best with and for her family;

Missy, the sister often ignored, but because she is not loved but because she has the emotional strength to survive;

Geoorgie, the son that we all have been, trying to have fun, but stand tall when duty calls;

Sheldon, the person we cannot stand for various reasons because we all have met people like him;

Connie, the wise woman we consult when things get rough because we know we can trust her perception, vision and resilience;

and George, the father we all want to be: being there for the good and the bad, trying to do the best he can - just like Mary - as a parent, trying to understand and adapt to new obstacles that life puts in front of us...

These truly talented people have brought to life these ordinary people in an extra-ordinary way for the past seven years.

And then, the talentless writers and producers tried to ruin this beauty with the next/final episode!!!!!

For me, this is the final episode, this is the goodbye we, the audience, and our beloved characters deserve.

Difficult to express the emotional resonance of this episode. I'd seen a few seasons of Young Sheldon and lost interest as he grew up but I always enjoyed the way the show portraits George Cooper Sr. And his relationship with his kids. A down to earth loving father and husband trying to do his best is so rare in media nowadays.

This episode was quite special; the acting and emotional weight so well preformed and directed. Did not rely on corny music or soppy clichés.

A fine ending to the series that pays respect to the characters and to the lore laid out by the big bang theory. Genuinely touching.

I don't think I've ever cried this much. Ever. Not even from personal grief, pain, etc. I started crying watching episode 12 and didn't stop once watching this one. My face got cramped, but I couldn't stop.

This show's depiction of life was so beautifully done. It made me forget it was fiction. Their relationships and way of life are so raw that you grow attached without thinking.

I never once thought I'd be this emotional watching TV but here we are. I knew George's death was coming, they kept mentionning it throughout the seasons but always kept the dates blurred. I'd even watched interviews beforehand where the actor said he didn't want to die on screen. So I thought, amazing, just a nice funny show that ends normally, I guess not. I'd seen the title of this episode weeks before too but my naive mind didn't think twice about it.

I'm so glad this series came to life and sad it's ending because they did a beautiful job.
