Young Sheldon (CBS)
It’s 1989 and 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper has skipped four grades to start high school along with his less-intellectual older brother. As he struggles to be understood by his family, classmates and neighbours, his mother arms him with the best tool she can come up with: reminding bullies his dad is the football coach and his brother is on the team. His twin sister doesn’t share his exceptional mind, but she has a much clearer vision of what life has in store for the young genius. Jim Parsons, who plays the adult version of Sheldon on “The Big Bang Theory,” narrates.

Covid Special

Parks and Recreation Reunion (NBC and App)
Five years after its finale aired, Parks and Recreation is returning for a brand-new reunion episode. Premiering on Thursday, April 30, the episode is set to feature nearly all your favorite Pawnee residents, from Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) to Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman).

The NBC comedy ran from 2009 to 2015 and followed the close-knit government employees of a small Indiana town. While the cast and creators never officially ruled out a reunion, they were waiting for a good reason to bring everyone back together.

“The chance to do it again should it arise would be incredible, but I think that we would all only do it if we felt like it was something compelling us to do it,” co-creator Mike Schur told Entertainment Weekly back in 2019.

Clearly, that time has come. Here’s what we know about the special, which will raise money for Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund, which will enable food banks to stay stocked during that crisis. The cast and creators will match donations up to $500,000.
