Young Sheldon S05E11 | George goes out for drinks 

I haven’t really watched this but…is that mee maw?

​@@Khaleel85 yeah...

To be honest I feel like all guys go through this frequently. They just kinda reach a point where they aren't sure if they're really themselves anymore or just some facade they play for the world to believe they're still strong

Actually seems like they are running out of ideas.

But his mother-in-law? no man should want to hang out with their mother-in-law...

People still need company of others today, no?

Meemaw?!

Good for you

The power went out at my job a few months ago, the landline was the only thing that still worked that wasn't an exit sign

He said aren't you usually at the other place, implying that he was trying to avoid running into her

Georgie said, "The."

They didn’t need power to work. A cordless one yes but the older ones no.

Landlines that did not have lights and amplifiers did work when the power was out. The phone company maintained a bank of batteries that provided low voltage power to transmit phone calls. Not like voip phones of today. Excellent safety feature not available today to most homes because even landlines have features requiring AC power.

Landlines work without power.

A lot of land lines don't necessarily a lot of power. They just need a connection.

@@rushalias8511 Thats good to know XD

The phone company provides the power thru the phone line. They have banks of batteries.

Not 😎.

@Christopher Bingham The writers are running out of ideas. And just to keep continuity with TBBT. If they were clever, they would have come out with something that was beyond our imagination.

@Christopher Bingham The hook was the cuteness of Young Sheldon, they got the casting right for everyone but Sheldon isn't that cute anymore, the family comedy is slowly disappearing with the cuteness of Sheldon and even young Missy too. Teenagers and knowing George and Mary is heading downhill makes the comedy part difficult to write and watch. Georgie and Mee Maw might have more mileage though. If they know how to salvage this. Then again, shows these days are mostly going "bad", rare to see wholesome shows like the first 3 seasons of the show at the same time having some values of the nostalgia of the 90s and late 80s.

Its connected to the phone lines, only need electricity to charge portable phones. Like wired headphones vs airpods.

Landline phones can run without electricity, but only the phone aspect will work. Not the caller ID, the phone won’t light up, or anything like that.

The phone company has banks of batteries to provide dail tone. No electricity needed.

Landlines work when the power goes out.

What year was this? It may have still been Kentucky Fried Chicken. It changed in '91.

Yeah. This was couple years prior, he should've given it to Meemaw to save her ordering some takeout.

Guys I think Season 4 was 2020 then season 5 was 2021

@@youmustcreateachanne KFC is the nutritional equivalent to smoking crack.

Ha Ha.😄 Landline. No electricity needed.

Christ, I hope you're joking😆

You're clearly not old like the rest of us, lol!

Some people still have landlines, unless their provider was able to leave them behind.

When I was still a kid, this always confused me during black outs - why the phone was still working. I guess its because it rings, has cables attached, and not a mechanical device made me think it required electricity to work same as other appliances. (Now I know it still requires snall electricity but coming directly from the phone line)

Landlines work when the power is out.

Now you got me trying to remember how landlines work

Old school phone ran off telephone line, entirely separate from electric.

@@kristn6513 how many people that don't know this fact shocks me. Even today landlines run off the phone lines.

The phone company has banks of batteries, that power landlines.

Because landlines work when the power is out.

Old time phones were analogue and also operated on their own power system. I think it was down to 12v by the time it got down to the handset

Phone company had banks of batteries that provided the dial tone.

Well Islam is worse

You should still be able to use a traditional plug-in landline phone during a power cut as long as nothing has happened to bring the phone network down, too. This is because your telephone line takes its power from the local telephone exchange, which has back-up power available. 🙂

@@elizabethmenegon8057 awh gotcha 👌 thank you 😊

on old rotary phones you didn't need power

To this day - a landline will still work without power.

Because? I didn't like how they are playing with Mary possibly having an affair....and also the way they are writing George.
