One of CBS's most watched shows, Young Sheldon, has ended after seven years on the air. And it went out on a high ratings note. The final episode drew 8.95 million viewers to the small screen on its premiere night, the show's best rating in four years.

The announcement of the spin-off was met with caution by many viewers. But what initially felt like a manipulation of fans' emotions ended up being one of the most comforting comedies in recent years.

As you say goodbye to the iconic series, we have compiled a list of the ten best episodes so you know exactly which stories will make you feel nostalgic in the future.

1. A Therapist, A Comic Book, and a Breakfast Sausage – Season 1 Episode 4

This is the episode in which one of Sheldon's main passions is born – his love of comic books. At breakfast, Sheldon chokes on sausage and then refuses to eat. His parents decide to take him to see a psychiatrist. When they arrive at the clinic, the parents leave Sheldon in the waiting room to talk to the doctor privately.

The boy sees the comics – he reads the X-Men and then decides to go to the comic book store to buy the next book. And it's comics that help him with his fear of eating.

2. An 8-Bit Princess, and a Flat Tire Genius – Season 2 Episode 8

One of the most touching episodes that brings Sheldon and Meemaw closer together. They start playing Adeera together on an 8-bit console. Connie promises Sheldon not to play without him, but breaks her promise the same night and sits down to complete the levels alone.

3. A Loaf of Bread and a Grand Old Flag – Season 2 Episode 16

4. A Swedish Science Thing and the Equation for Toast – Season 2 Episode 22

The episode that deservedly became a fan favorite – we saw the main stars of TBBT as children. In order to hear the winner of the Physics Nobel Prize announced on the radio, Sheldon throws a party. But the live broadcast is on Swedish time, which means he has to get up at five in the morning.

The boy organizes snacks and drinks, but no one comes – he listens to the speech all alone and cries. At the end of the episode, we see his future best friend Leonard listening to the same broadcast, Penny and Bernadette sleeping soundly, Raj studying astronomy, Howard playing video games, and Amy reading her favorite novels.

All this happens to the song Someday We'll Be Together by The Supremes. And though Sheldon is lonely now, he will soon meet people who share his hobbies and will never make him feel alone again.
