“A Baby Shower and a Testosterone-Rich Banquet” is vintage Young Sheldon : smart, silly, and surprisingly sweet. The “MSV” plot could have been cheap shock value, but the writers use it to explore Meemaw’s humanity and the Coopers’ unshakable—if often embarrassing—love for each other.
Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched S06E18 of Young Sheldon.
