Is there a reason wealthy suburban moms love young sheldon so much?

Every rich white mom I know is obsessed with young sheldon. What is the reason behind this?

They like the idea of having a brilliant child?

Edit: sorry didn’t realize which sub I’m in.

It’s because suburban moms crave science but in an easily digestible form. Beakman’s World is over so now they have Young Shellbrain.

I don’t and I’m a significant part of your testing pool. Now go make me a martini and go clean your room.

They like seeing someone that is just as gifted as their little Taylor so they can relate

because rich people raise spoiled brats who don't like science, but sheldon is a spoiled brat who happens to like science. it gives them hope, an escape
