Our Take On Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’s Season Order
The Show Looks Very Different From TBBT (But That’s Not A Bad Thing)
At this point, Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage looks pretty different from The Big Bang Theory. After all, Mandy is not even a character in the original series, and Georgie’s appearance in the show is only brief. Still, it is exciting to see The Big Bang Theory universe expand in some capacity. While it is a very different series, it still has an eclectic mix of characters as well as laughter from a live studio audience. The show has not been renewed for season 2, but those prospects also look more likely if the show continues on with positive ratings.
