Anybody See "Young Sheldon" Last Nite ?

After that TEARFUL farewell to "The Big Bang Theory", anybody see "Young Sheldon" afterwards ? And if you did, did you get a load of the shortwave Radio Memaw's Main Squeeze, that wonderful actor, Wallace Shawn, gave to Sheldon ? Methinks it was a Hallicrafters of late Forties/Fifties vintage, altho w/my Cataracts, & the fact they didn't really show a GOOD pic of it, I couldn't tell. Halli made quite a few "Civilian" type radios, their looks didn't betray the fact they were pretty sophisticated shortwave sets. Always tickles me when someone who don't know diddleysquat about shortwave tries to write about it-Sheldon was going on about a "Time Station" in Toronto. I think they were trying to refer to CHU, Canada's time station, & sorry, it ain't in Toronto...They're in Ottawa, nimrods.. But I'd advise Sheldon to STAY AWAY from CHU... It started a similarly aged young boy in NE Tennessee about 1970 on a long, dark road to SWL obsession, that eventually included a boatload of boatanchors, all manner of paraphernalia & so forth. That strange Lorelei "Beep, Beep, Beep" didn't help either.... (Grin)
