Young Sheldon 7x12 | George Dies 

it's even worse when you realize missy said no to driving to school with George the last thing she said to him was declining having a bonding experience

Off screen was the best way...he will be remembered walking out the door to work, not lingering in an ICU for a few weeks .

The feeling after Mary reminding George that they’re leaving at 4 for pictures…it was just an extra second of silence, I knew then it was coming.

Did not realize how good an acter Lance Barber was until I heard him speak in his natural voice. He knocked George out of the Park.

I think the fact that the audience is so broken hearted with the death of George is a tribute to his great acting and how well he played that character. I look forward to seeing him soon in a new project.

I saw it coming, but the way they revealed it made me cry for a second. First time I ever cried at something in entertainment. RIP George, you were a great dad.

George and Missy at Red.Lobster will always be the most touching scene for me.

Lance IRL sounds so much different than George. Man are they great actors.

The actors playing the principal and assistant coach were so good in this scene. They played the scene perfectly.

Mary had one of the most realistic reactions I've ever seen on tv series

I can't stop crying. My father went to work with the words: See you later. Two hours later they called us. He was 41😢

As soon as she said "We're still waiting on George." my heart sank. Poor Missy not riding with him to school and Georgie insulting his size, etc. They'll never forget those moments.

This one hit home. My Dad was in the hospital and the last words he said to me were " Take care of your mother". No one is ready for it when it happens.

As someone who lost his father and grandfather to heart attacks, it just highlights how you never know when your last interaction with someone will be. Always make your goodbyes something you won't regret

I'm 39. My son is 4. My daughter turns 6 in September. I have not taken care of myself very well. This show gave me a shock to eat healthier, don't smoke anymore(I quit cigarettes but I would still bum one occasionally. No more.), and exercise. I don't want my babies to lose me when I'm 50. Edit: btw they are all such talented actors, this really made me cry. Also it took me a long time to realize "wait meemaw is annie potts, that's Janine from ghostbusters!" The fact that I found myself so invested in these characters is a testament to how good the writing, the performances, and the overall world building of the show is. It's so well done. I'm so glad we're getting the spin off about Georgie and Mandy, I wasn't ready to leave these characters behind forever. I'm so happy we're getting more.

I cried like a baby when I knew, as he walked out of the kitchen door and nobody said "goodbye" to him, that he was not coming home that day. I knew it and I cried. George was a wonderful father but was never appreciated for it.

The actress for Missy did so well in that scene. All of them did, I was crying as well, just watching them.

When he was leaving for work I looked at my daughter and said he’s getting ready to die. It was such a normal morning routine and that’s how so many of us remember our last moments with loved ones.

George never cheated.In the Big Bang theory,Sheldon said that he saw his dad cheating.Sheldon says “after that,I added another set of knocks” which is exactly what Sheldon said in Season 7 episode 4,Mary dresses up as another woman to give George a good time.He could just be saying that because he is sometimes stupid.We never see George cheating at all.Everyone thought it would be with Brenda,but that never happened.George was a good dad who made many sacrifices for his families happiness.Rest in piece❤

This is so sad and so relatable. My dad died while he was at work as a truck driver..he had a massive heart attack and a stranger found him an hour later fallen out of his truck dead. There was nothing paramedics or doctors could do to bring him back it had been too long. I was only 14 at the time and remember how devastating the news was. I never got to say goodbye. It'll be 13 years on May 31st and it still hurts me. The grief never fully goes away. They really touched a lot of people with this episode. ❤

The scene works so well because Lance Barber did such a great job for 7 seasons.

I can't believe they killed him off screen...

For a family show it was handled beautifully. We didn't need to see George die. We knew it was coming but it still caught us off guard just like the family. And that moment when George told Sheldon he was proud of him make me choke up, knowing that the end was near. It's been a long time since I thought I'd miss a show, but this is one of those times. Such a fabulous show.

This hits me hard. My father died with heart attack, it was just normal night. Afrer we ate dinner, he was really extra caring with his grand children that night. He played with them and telling them he loved them so much and then 3am my mother woke me up and my father had a heart atrack. We brought him in the hospital and he died there. 😔 he's not perfect but he's the best for me.

I lost my father when I was 14 and lost my husband when I was 39. Husband was active duty military and there is a team that delivers the news to the wife. This scene, everyone’s reactions, from the kids to adults, rings very true. It hits home.

Seeing Meemaw, Missy, and Sheldon's reactions probably hit me the most. Granted, Meemaw and George had their sticks and stones with each other, but deep down, Meemaw did like George and see him as family, she just didn't show it a lot. Missy and George went through a lot together, even staying close to each other during the tornado in the finale of season 6. Sheldon and George have been together as well, George took him to Caltech when he was younger, and when Sheldon cried in one episode, he asked for his dad instead of his mom. I know Georgie will be sad as well, because he truly did care about his father, and God truly knows how heartbroken Mary is. I'm gonna miss this show and all of it's bubbly characters, I hope the spinoff won't suck.

Lance Barber is one special actor hope to see him something soon

Even tho I knew it was coming, it still hit me, R.I.P. George

I also love the reactions of the principal and an assistant coach

I lost my mom when I was a freshman in college in July 2022,and I got the news about my mom's death by a call from a Grandfather when I was on a bus going to an exam centre but when I got the news I was not even able to cry as the bus was super crowded and I cried silently and soberly and I was numb ,I had a similar reaction like Sheldon reaction to his dad death I was also completely numb and silent and I was not even able cry properly as I was in a crowded bus and tears silently rolled my face,and when yesterday I watched this episode it reminded me of that painful day again and I am missing my mom more than ever, I am not even able to sleep at night as I miss my mom desperately

The way they did this made it so shocking even though we knew it was coming. The actual discomfort of watching this scene is something that was really amazing to watch for the first time.

Sheldon's reaction hit the most😢.

I lost my Dad from a heart attack when I was 16 and a sophomore in High School!! This scene hit me hard.

Love this show The lost of george really hit me i recently lost my dad to heart failure and it had me crying Especially when mary says she was mad it wasnt suppose to go like this

Two days before my 40th birthday, my world was turned upside down when my dad passed away. But what I'll never forget are the last words he said to me, 'Peter, I'm so proud of you, son. I'm proud of the man you've become.' Those words still resonate deeply with me, and I cherish them as a reminder of his love and admiration. 🥺😢😭

Wow, just when his luck was about to change. He wanted a college coaching job for so long and when he finally gets it, wham the worst thing that could happen, happens. We knew it was coming but man it still sucks. He really was a good dad. RIP George Sr!!

It's actually nice to see these actors making such an emotional investment in the characters they play.

The way i jumped up seeing everyone but George in the room getting ready for the photo. Somehow i foresaw the events and knew what would happen. Still wasn’t ready 😢

This will always be my favorite sit com of all time, and I am 67 yo. I did like the Big Bang Theory a lot but this show had the heart and soul that no other sit com has ever had.

Both these actors nailed it on this show....They did an incredible job for 7 seasons

I lost my dad to cancer a little over a year ago. While I was able to tell him how much I loved him the day before it happened, I didn’t realize it was going to be my last time talking to him. Missy’s reaction in this scene hit so close to home

I’ve never cried so much for a tv character ever in my life

Man the way they played out his death just 60secs before the episode ended just left me shell shocked. Still maybe a bit numb right now.

The Sheldon reaction really hits home for me. I remember my wife getting the call that my dad had a heart attack and I got up to find out what was wrong. She told me and I sat right down in my chair and sat in disbelief, processing the news in confusion.

I will never forget this wonderful show. My 92 year old mother looks forward to this show every week. I still watch the old episodes on Netflix - always made me smile...and think...

Lance Barber played a damn great role as George Cooper

My Stepdad died unexpectedly back in 2020, my reaction was just like Sheldon, I could't talk for an hour.

7 years and I'm still not ready for this. R.I.P George cooper.

I have tears just watching this interview.

I will miss George. He was such a good guy. I love the character. ❤

This took me to when the police called my phone saying my dad had died and my mother was too distraught to talk on the phone. I literally cried along with this scene

George saving missy in that tornado in season 6 just hits different now

A Life lesson learned here is that always cherish your life because you never know when it's going to be your last day

I could have watched an entire of George and Jim. They were two good Grandpas.

Brings back the memory of my mom getting the call when my dad passed.

I love how they executed Sheldons reaction- Ian was phenomenal!! I personally connect with him so much😭💔

It's so odd to hear them without the Texas accents.

sheldon just drop down without a word to say. that hurt deep

The way missy cried I got a flashback of my sisters crying when my father died... It was really hard to watch

What a fantastic interview! This journalist really knew his stuff and provoked really strong emotional responses from the cast.

I had been watching this show since it first came out when I was 8. Now I’m 15 and when they announced George’s death, I couldn’t help it but I cried 😭 He was a great father to Missy, Georgie, and Sheldon. The writers did an amazing job! I will miss this show so much.

I became a fan of Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory sitcoms last year. And learning about George’s death. After watching tonight’s episode really hurts me so much. This is the saddest tragedy in television history. Thank you Chuck Lorre for creating both of these amazing sitcoms.

I wish i had a dad like George, although its fictional, he always touched my heart

These 2 shows have been my favorites for what almost the past 20 years.Thank you, to all of you Thomas Lyons, Seattle, Washington.

I knew it was coming but omg, I cried. The actors' reaction to the news made it hit so close to home... It's so sad, but as my grandma said at the end of the episode, anything can happen at any time and there's nothing we can do 😞

I knew it would happen, It just is shocking that it actually happened. When I first watched on screen I had no words but now all I can say is wow. Just wow

This show is going to be watched for decades to come… This is real life !! And I love these actors!! Such genuine and talented people!! Thanks for giving us such great, feel good TV!!

My birth father died at 70 from a heart attack, my birth mom and her sister died in their late 30s from cancer. Im 58. I figure the most I have left is 10 years.

Looking ahead, I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness when I think about how much I'll miss him. He was funny and loving, and it's hard to imagine the future without him. Even though this was a TV show, I wouldn't say I liked that he passed; he is a great father.

I didn’t expect his death to happen at the end of the episode rip George you truly were a great father as Told in the black hole episode😢

I haven't watched the 2 latest episodes yet, but here I am crying like a baby. Gosh. I'm really going to miss this show. You can see the sincerity and the genuine emotions of all the artists here. The connection and bonding that they've created for the last 7 years are undeniable. They're really like a family.😢

I can’t believe George is just gone😢

I know it's just a show ,and that they're all actor's, but in that scene when they're standing at the door...i teared up. Felt that lump in my throat 😢 this was an amazing experience, the show was fantastic ❤

GONNA MISS THIS SHOW

I just lost my mom 2 weeks ago. This scene hits hard 😢

Missy will hate herself forever for taking the bus. I did the same thing and my dad went to work and died. Still hate myself

I saw it live! I saw it live! I felt a tear from my eye go down my cheek live!!!! Man. You get attached to him after 7 seasons! I knew it was coming but still. I almost cried I dropped a fear tears

One of the best series and actors,writers, producers in this time and day.. much needed😊

That scene at red lobster will always be an iconic one. One of, if not the most iconic episodes of missy and george sr.

Going to miss George sr he was my favorite character in this series. Tried to appear myself for this episode and now he's gone. He's sad 😭

You know what's sad? As a TBBT fan, you knew this was coming ; not even a spoiler. But this still hurts 😢. The scenes from TBBT hit a lot harder now, I'm not even lying. " I wish your Dad could see you now" "Me, too.I miss him." "Thanks Dad, We're gonna give them hell" Ok, I'm crying now. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I truly loved George, the character reminded me of my dad. This last season has been so real and emotional. R.I.P George❤

This is depressing. I love this show. And my Dad had a heart attack and died when I was 13 years old. We had gone to bed one Saturday night and heard the loud thud when he hit the floor. Apparently he had gotten up to get his medicine.

The show was so special and the acting was just outstanding! I wish they could have kept it going. Thank you to all the actors and the ones behind the scenes making this such a wonderful family show for so many years.

R.I.P GEORGE

What I love Young Sheldon is how it gives us a different perspective of the kind of father George Cooper. This is narrated by an Adult Sheldon that now has a family and kids. Sheldon finally realize that his parents especially his father was not perfect nor was he and his siblings were the best children, he finally understood the efforts he did as a father. I relate to that, when Papa died a few months ago it made us also realize he wasn’t perfect but he made a lot of sacrifices just to make us feel we are not alone while our mom was working abroad. He was present in a lot of important events of my life and I realize I took it for granted. Maybe that’s also the thing about losing someone and being an adult you finally understand your parents and how they love you.

Extremely well written and directed. Give George a lifetime success, the support and pride of his family, a renewed happy marriage, pride in his children, congratulations from his mother in law, an explanation of Sheldon's misinterpretation of his dad's fidelity...and just passing off screen in a touching way as Henry Blake did. The final family photo (trip, event, etc) not happening that very day is a slice of life that really happens often. It is seldom that Lorre productions do this good a job with good taste, as most of his shows the past 25 years have been sex comedies...where this one isn't.

I cried , but it was the best way George walked out the door. But still so sad😢💔

I remember when Sheldon said: "I wish I had told my father while he was alive" when they went to Cape Canaveral made me cry too much 😭

This just brought up the loss of my Dad at a young age. Painful. This us all So sad, am going to miss this show a lot. I miss my Dad.

I’ve never cried so much before RIP 😢 🪦

So sad that the show has ended. So sad that George passed (RIP George). I’ve come to know and love these characters, watching the kids grow into young adults, watching the dregs of marriage with its ups and downs…..real life. The chemistry of everyone on the show was perfect! No one else could have given these characters the praises and kudos that they’ve so richly deserved. Thank you Chuck Lorre for yet another great show. I can’t wait to buy the dvd collection. ❤

Some people say they hate it happened off screen, but having lost someone the same way ....this is more real.

This similar to what happened on Good Times. The father got a job out of state and he was supposed to come back to pick up the family. But then they found out that he passed away.

We knew this was going to happen from the start when it was revealed in the Big Bang, but this was hard to process. George was an absolute LEGEND

Those big gut reactions are due to superb character establishment. The actors made it easy for the audience to understand just how they'd react in imagined situations. What great writing and acting. What a strong end. Looking forward to a "Georgie" show.

Im going to miss George, ❤

Explains Mary's behavior in TBBT. She was still "stuck in angry grief" because everything was finally starting to improve in their lives, so many joyful hopes and dreams. George's death also killed all of them. George WAS NOT following his doctors' advice of what to be doing to avoid another heart attack. So there is some direct anger at George, if he only ... This also explains grown up Georgie telling off Sheldon (finally) about how bad their mother took the death, how bad Missy took the death. And Sheldon, well Sheldon was a "self-contained" teen that was disconnected from the family at that point. He only appeared to be unaffected by the death. Great episode.

I thought they would do this off camera. Seeing this really tore into me. I've grown to love George Sr.

Can't picture anyone else playing George. He was my favorite character
