Trivia
- This episode aired as a special preview of the series after the season 11 premiere episode of The Big Bang Theory.
- Sheldon and Missy are shown sharing a bedroom in this episode. However, in the Big Bang Theory episode "The Mommy Observation", when Sheldon is visiting his mother in Texas, his childhood room is shown with only one twin bed, meaning that Sheldon had his own room later on.
- The house isn't the same one you see in The Big Bang Theory when Sheldon visits his mother.
- Sheldon criticizing and telling people off in this show is usually what lands him in trouble in The Big Bang Theory.
- This is the only episode of Young Sheldon whose title is not a list, similiar to how the first episode of the base series (also named Pilot) did not have a scientific-sounding name.
