Some of the biggest minds come from humble beginnings, and such is the case for Big Bang Theory’s resident know-it-all, Sheldon Cooper.
Over the course of the show’s run, fans have learned that Sheldon’s upbringing doesn’t exactly reflect his personality, as the scientist came from a small town in East Texas. CBS recently announced that a spin-off about the character’s childhood, titled Young Sheldon, would begin airing its first season this fall.
