'Young Sheldon'
The series finale will end where it all began — with a sort of bang. Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik, from the "The Big Bang Theory," will return as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler.

The prequel series, which lasted for seven seasons, will be followed by a second "Big Bang" offshoot, "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage," which is centered on Georgie Cooper Jr., Sheldon's older brother. 7 p.m. Thursday, CBS
