I wonder if they will keep using the same kid as he gets older ?
Well, why wouldn’t they? Sheldon did age naturally. He wasn’t an animated character who never ages.

Nine is still yet to air the rest of Season 12 (last ep was 12x10 aired in December), which won’t be until after MAFS and/or Travel Guides finishes in April. It would probably air during the Easter non-ratings period, along with the rest of Young Sheldon’s 2nd season.
Speaking of which, Young Sheldon will air a new ep (2x15) this week in VIC/TAS/SA/WA, which will air at a later date in NSW/ACT/QLD/NT after MAFS finishes. So that would mean that for one week, the northern states would air double new eps (2x15 & 2x16), whilst the southern states would have one new ep (2x16) followed by a repeat on that same night in order for the northern states to catch up.
I wish that I could access on demand seasons of Big Bang but I guess more money is to be made having it on free to air on repeats on GO ! ?
Presto used to have from memory Season 1 to 7 or 8.
Though the show seemed to go into more about relationships from about Season 7 or 8 I think it wasn’t the same…
All Seasons appear to be available to stream on Apple iTunes, Google Play Movies and the Microsoft Store, if you are prepared to pay.

YOUNG SHELDON
Returns Monday 15 April at 7:30pm
A Math Emergency and Perky Palms
Sheldon and Dr. Sturgis have their first fight when Dr. Sturgis marks an answer wrong on Sheldon’s test; Mary takes over for Pastor Jeff when he’s out sick.
That’s episode 15 of season 2 of Young Sheldon. It aired in AFL states on March 14, the opening night of 2019 NRL season, so it will be a repeat for these areas. For NSW, ACT, Queensland and NT it will be first screening. After that all states will be up to date.
As outlined above, for those in the southern states, Young Sheldon will be 1 ep ahead of those in the northern states. I would’ve thought that Nine would air double new eps for those in the northern states next Monday. 
What about on 9Now ? it is up to Ep 15.
That’s right. That means viewers in the northern states (plus ACT & NT) can view Ep 15 on 9Now before it airs on Terrestrial TV.

The 30 minute special will air on CBS on May 16, not sure if Nine will show it here.
It is a half hour special, the final episode is one hour.
I’m sure we’ll see it as filler programming in a few months, possibly in between the next series on Ninja Warrior and The Block. Those Big Bang fans Nine milked for ratings points back in the days when they were struggling don’t deserve any better.
With Bad Mothers on Mondays, Travel Guides on Tuesdays and New Amsterdam on Wednesdays, there was simply no suitable timeslot for Nine to show new episodes of TBBT in Q1.
They just don’t care.

Bad Mothers and Travel Guides could have been aired any time of the year as they are Nine’s own products, New Amsterdam was a gamble that paid off for a while. They could have aired Big Bang on any of those days and had it reasonably fast tracked and then caught up with the US airtime easily. While it may not rate as well as it did, it would have more potential being the lead up to the finale.
What about Tuesday running a new episode instead of a repeat and 2 episodes last night instead of The Castle repeat.
When Nine was airing Young Sheldon on Thursday nights at 7:30pm in February & early March before the NRL season began, they could’ve shown a new ep of TBBT afterwards instead of a repeat ep of YS. It could’ve gotten better ratings than a repeat ep of YS would, and we would not have been as far behind as we are now.
Still, it’s not as bad as it was in 2017, when Nine keeps stopping & starting the show throughout the year, to the point where the DVD got released before the last few eps of that season (with a big cliffhanger) had even aired here!
