It retains nearly all of its 'Big Bang' lead-in, earning hit status out of the gate for CBS and stomping on NBC's 'The Voice.'

CBS will have more than a month to hold Young Sheldon over its competitors' heads. Monday's sampling of the new comedy, a month out from its official Nov. 2 premiere, likely set this season's high bar for fall premieres.

After an episode of its parent series, and with final adjustments, the Big Bang Theory spinoff averaged a daunting 3.8 rating among adults 18-49 and 17.2 million viewers. That's incredible retention for the new series. Its lead-in, returning for its 11th season, averaged a 4.1 rating in the key demo and 17.7 million viewers.

Young Sheldon currently ranks as the most-watched comedy premiere since 2011's 2 Broke Girls and the highest-rated since 2013's The Crazy Ones. It also boasts the best retention of any of the many, many comedies to launch out of Big Bang Theory. Plenty of hopes have been pinned to the project. Largely considered the fall season's surest shot at a new hit, it will now have the entire month of October to grow its multiplatform reach and, if CBS is lucky, court the long-term affections of its flagship series' numbered fans.

The sad part is that the spin-off will probably prove to be lucrative

From what I heard the show isn't even that bad lol. It's not the same format as TBBT either.

Don't think I'll bother watching it but I'm not a huge sitcom person in general.

Yeah I heard it's in a more Malcolm in the middle format, no laugh tracks as well. It's going to really need some good writers and jokes to win people over, because even myself I'm feeling more biased against the show than I am rooting for it.

Young Sheldon's family reminds me of mine. Guess who was young Sheldon? My oldest brother was Georgie, and my younger sister Missy.

To all the people expressing disappointment, did you even watch it or did you all just assume it'd be awful?

I haven't checked it out yet so I have no opinion of it.

Remember when The Jeff Dunham Show premiere had the most viewers in Comedy Central history, but dropped so hard that it was canceled before the season finished? Maybe that'll happen with this.

Plus, who cares about network television anyway?

I watched it and I cringed the hell out of there at the part where Sheldon was in class ratting people out. Couldn't take it.
