Facebook mums around the world have been devastated by the news that the next season of television show ‘Young Sheldon’ will be the last.

However, fans across the world are waiting in anticipation for the final episode, after the creators revealed their plan for the finale in which Sheldon commits a mass school shooting.

The creators of the show explained that they wanted to end the series with an emotional story that the average American can relate to.

“We want to end the show with a bang,” said the showrunner, “and we thought what better way to do that than with a traditional American school shooting.”

“It’s a storyline we’ve been setting up from the start, we have always made sure the character gives you that vibe. The same classic Sheldon we all know and love.”

The writers said they are excited to see the episode, including a little easter egg where Sheldon looks to the camera and says ‘Bazinga’ after brutally murdering all his classmates.

Some online were critical of the proposed finale saying that the ‘school shooting episode’ trope has been done to death at this point by American high school shows. However fans were quick to defend it saying that you can’t jump the shark in a show that’s very existence is jumping the shark.

      It was good in the first season or at least until Penny became smarter than the boys and everyone got married.

        No, it wasn’t good, even before everyone and everything got Flanderised. It was always a shitty sitcom that only got a laugh because they played audio of people laughing.

          No, it wasn’t good.

          In your opinion. Some people may enjoy it and that’s fine. I’m sure there are people that don’t like playing Factorio, but to me it’s awesome. Just like I don’t like FIFA but many do.

            It’s depressing that this needs to be said. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.

            Factario is indeed awesome (though I prefer Satisfactory and its lizard doggos) but I think the problem with FIFA is it’s not Football Manager.

          I enjoyed it not gonna lie.

          Probably thank to the fact that I’m Deaf and can’t hear the laugh track.

          But I remember when it was on the cable tv, they actually showed it in the closed captioned suddenly out of nowhere. And it was so annoying to read (audience laughter) every other sentence. I stopped watching after seeing that episode.

          Picked it up again recently (on one of streaming service) only cuz I just wanted to have some show I can just pick up and watch. I like binging shows.

          It was decent for the most parts, but one part I didn’t enjoy was when they got baby.

          You know it was taped in front of a live audience, right? That’s their laugh. But I know, they were always instructed to laugh. And I think all my laughs were also all replayed audio after all. Yeah, you got me.
