Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage is picking up where predecessors The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon left off — as the most watched program on broadcast Thursday night. The Young Sheldon spinoff opened with 6.

"Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage," the sequel from "Young Sheldon" launched on CBS as the most-watched series of the evening on Thursday, October 17.

When Young Sheldon was nearing its end, I was one of the first to say I needed to see Mandy's parents, Jim and Audrey McAllister, be a part of the main cast of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. I'm happy to say I thought that Will Sasso and Rachel Bay Jones crushed it in their roles.

Our Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage Season 1 Episode 1 examines whether the first non-Sheldon focused spinoff works.

Ana Dumaraog of ScreenRant gives it a 9 out of 10, noting that the first two episodes are surprisingly emotional despite the show’s switch to multi-cam. Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is a worthy replacement for Young Sheldon, Dumaraog says:

"Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage" is the latest spinoff series of "The Big Bang Theory" following the major success of its first spinoff series "Young Sheldon."

The premiere episode of "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage" is here, and it confirms an important change that was last seen on "The Big Bang Theory."

CBS is continuing The Big Bang Theory's legacy with Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage, the latest installment of its expanding universe. Taking place not long
