Courtesy of HBO Max In a sea of perfunctory prequels and sequels, you have to hand it to a spinoff that actually comes up with a creative angle. Such is the case with “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe,” the third offshoot of “The Big Bang Theory,” which forms a useful contrast with its predecessors. The straightforwardly titled “Young Sheldon,” a single-camera sitcom that ran for seven seasons on CBS before ending in 2024, wound back the clock to trace the childhood of Jim Parsons’ breakout character as a prodigy in Texas; “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” airing its third season this fall, follows Sheldon’s older brother in his time as a broke newlywed.
