Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is a Young Sheldon spinoff, and there’s an Easter egg included in the show paying tribute to the CBS TV series.

In the show, Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) drives a Ford F-150, which is the same Ford F-150 that belonged to his late father, George Sr. (Lance Barber).

And in an interview with TVLine, the series co-creator Steve Holland confirmed the nod – and it’s emotional meaning.

It’s his dad’s truck, and he has an emotional connection to it, so it just seemed like that was the right thing to do.” There are other nods as far as locations, including the Mexican restaurant where the couple shared their first date, the Bluebell Diner, where Mandy has worked off and on as a waitress since Young Sheldon Season 5.
