CBS To Young Sheldon-ize Entire Primetime Schedule

In light of the phenomenal ratings pulled in by Big Bang Theory spin-off Young Sheldon last week (Nielsen estimates 17.2 million viewers tuned in and that 124 of them will admit it to their friends), CBS is mining past and present properties in hopes of similar success.

Obviously, Monday will remain anchored by The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, and it probably comes as no surprise that the Tuesday through Sunday 8pm time slot will now feature Young Leonard, Penny, Howard, Bernadette, Raj, and Amy.

But the eyeball network is hardly stopping there. Leaked TV Guide listings reveal further insight into their lineup tinkering…

Survivor Junior (Wednesday, 9:00pm) — Tonight’s immunity challenge is a true test of endurance — the fourteen remaining 6-year-olds each get to enjoy a gallon of their favorite Kool-Aid before being ushered into a super-deluxe carnival bounce house. Nothing could be better… except maybe a bathroom! Who will be the only one at tribal council with dry pants? Urine for a wild time!

Little Miss Mary Tyler Moore Show (Sunday, 8:30pm) — Mary begs her parents to move from suburban Minneapolis to the city after getting her hat caught in a tree for the thirty-second time.
