Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage returned to the 2025 TV schedule with Season 2, and picked up on the aftermath of Georgie and Ruben buying the tire shop from Jim in the Season 1 finale. The two men soon found they couldn't agree on anything when it came to making decisions for their new business, and a reference to The Big Bang Theory has me wondering what it means for their relationship long-term.
Georgie was a character introduced initially in Young Sheldon, but was later added into The Big Bang Theory with Jerry O'Connell playing the adult version of the character. In his limited appearances on the OG series, we learned about Georgie's adult life, and I was shocked to hear the younger version reference something from it in the Season 2 premiere.
Georgie & Mandy's Season 2 Premiere Referenced The Tire Shop Name First Heard In The Big Bang Theory
Ruben quickly learned that Georgie had a lot of plans for the future of McAllister Auto and Tire, one of which included a massive expansion and a rebrand. While Ruben was hoping they'd settle their debt on the initial shop and get in the black, Georgie figured it was best to leverage the shop in order to open a new location. The Cooper family's eldest male decided they could just do this and slowly spread throughout Texas, under the new name, Dr. Tire.
When Sheldon and Leonard sought out Georgie in The Big Bang Theory, he was indeed the owner of a chain of tire stores called Dr. Tire. Georgie & Mandy's Season 2 premiere just showed us where that dream began, but will it be with his business partner Ruben or without?
Will Georgie Turn Jim's Tire Shop Into The First Dr. Tire With Ruben, Or Set Off On His Own?
Now that we know Georgie's longterm goal, I'm curious to see whether he'll remain partners with Ruben, or he'll eventually set off on his own. At this point, they have no choice but to remain partners due to how much their families invested in them, but if one of them had the chance to be bought out, would they take it?
My ultimate hope is that they stick together, as Georgie and Ruben may need each other more than they realize. Ruben seems to have a solid grasp on the financials of running a business, while Georgie showed in Season 1 of Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage that he was good at forging relationships and jumping on new opportunities.
I also like the idea of Ruben and Georgie staying in business together, in the chance that Mandy splits from Georgie sometime in the near future. Ruben would be someone for Georgie to interact with outside of his family, should he have to move out of the McAllister household. We don't know when that will happen, and apparently, the actors don't either, which still blows my mind. In any case, I do hope the duo sticks together to make big business decisions.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage airs on CBS on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. Season 2 just started, so there's plenty of time to catch up by watching on Paramount+, even if you haven't started Season 1 yet.
