Annie Potts Cast as Sheldon’s 'Foul-Mouthed and Hard-Drinking' Meemaw in 'Young Sheldon'
News has emerged that The Big Bang Theory spin-off series, Young Sheldon, has added another face to their cast list. The actress, Annie Potts, has joined the comedy spin-off show as Sheldon's grandmother a.k.a. Meemaw. Meemaw was regularly mentioned by Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory, who says she is perfect in every way possible. Viewers of the hit comedy sitcom saw Meemaw (played by June Squibb) for the very first time during Season 9. However, Young Sheldon will show fans a different side of Meemaw, as Potts's version of the characters has been described as Sheldon’s “foul-mouthed, hard-drinking Texas grandmother who is very supportive of her grandson and his unique gifts.” Yet, where have we seen Potts in the past?

It's Time To D-D-D Duel: 3 Factors That Made 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters' So Endearing
As a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, I'm the first one to admit that, at first glance, the long-lasting appeal of the show might be hard to understand. I mean, here we have a kids anime that ran in the early 2000s, largely with a purpose to sell a trading card game.
