Who’s ready for Thanksgiving with the Coopers? TVLine has your exclusive first look at Georgie & Mandy‘s very first holiday episode, which sees the Coopers and the McAllisters gather to celebrate Turkey Day.

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 and Mandy's First Marriage' stars Rachel Bay Jones and Montana Jordan told Us Weekly about how the show approaches Georgie and Mandy's age gap

Of course, this fun is extended to the reality of the fact that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is filmed in front of a live studio audience. Trading in Young Sheldon ’s single-camera format, the new show is multi-camera with some connective elements that help to make the show feel like a seamless continuation.

Young Sheldon already feels like a distant memory, but viewing figures suggest Georgie & Mandy might have more to it than first thought.

For those who missed it, the premiere opened up with Georgie laughing at an episode of Frasier, commenting that he likes "laughin' shows," or shows in which the audience laughs after a joke because it lets him know when to laugh.

Although Georgie & Mandys First Marriage was always guaranteed to struggle with Sheldon, the character's absence isn't the real issue with its pilot.
