If you were wondering why Georgie has been so successful all this time, well, The Big Bang Theory prequel just answered your question.

Sheldon Cooper is great at science and technology, being the genius that he is; his sister Missy is street-smart and attractive; and Georgie is... just Georgie. At least, that's the way it was on The Big Bang Theory, with many fans believing that Georgie is the least capable and intellectual of the Cooper siblings.

Well, young Sheldon is here to prove everyone wrong by delving deeper into Georgie's true strength that has actually made him successful in life: the ability to get along with people. He's really good at dealing with people, and that's what helped him build his business, Dr. Tire.

In Young Sheldon season 6, when Meemaw is busy taking care of Mandy, who is on bed rest, it is Georgie who gets the rest of the family to help run the family business. And guess what? He's great at it.

Even Missy, who is tasked with running the store, admits that he is "a good boss" — a line that proves his Big Bang Theory success is no accident.

While his siblings may be smart and ironic all the time, Georgie has what Sheldon has always lacked – great social skills, which allowed him to run his business. In fact, many fans believe that both Georgie and Missy are much smarter than their genius brother.

"Intelligence is not just how much you know about a certain subject or how quickly you can solve a problem. Sheldon is like a computer. He has a massive database of knowledge and can perform calculations with lightning speed. However, he has trouble figuring out emotions and being, well, not annoying. In that way, his siblings are a lot smarter than he is," Redditor 93Volvo240 noted.

Whether the team is book smart or street smart, it's all about working together and getting along. So far, Young Sheldon is trying to explore how well that works for the Cooper family.

Young Sheldon is currently in its sixth season, with new episodes premiering on Thursdays on CBS.
