George’s Funeral Would Have Easily Solved Young Sheldon’s Most Frustrating Mystery
George’s funeral in Young Sheldon season 7 involved various characters that were close to the Coopers throughout the Big Bang Theory spinoff, but the absence of a character in particular made sure that one of Young Sheldon’s most annoying mysteries remained as such. Young Sheldon season 7 including George’s death ensured that its final episodes celebrated the Cooper patriarch, and it could not be more visible than from those in attendance at his funeral, including George’s coworkers and friends Coach Wilkins and Principal Petersen. Even those not necessarily the closest to him and the Coopers attended, including Dale’s ex-wife, June.
While plenty of characters that were more or less important in the Coopers’ lives attended the funeral, even ending up bonding like Mr. Givens and Brenda Sparks, there were some notable absences. It would have been very difficult for Young Sheldon to include all key characters that ever interacted with George and the Coopers, but the absence of one family in particular clashed with what they went through with the Coopers, even just a few months before George’s death. In addition to remembering and honoring George, their presence could have solved a frustrating, longstanding mystery regarding a Young Sheldon character.
