The Big Bang Theory’s latest spinoff is hardly the first TV show with a controversial age gap at the center of the story.

Pretty Little Liars, which premiered in 2010, introduced viewers to Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding). While some fans rooted for the fictional couple, many weren’t as thrilled by the problematic aspect of Aria dating her teacher, Ezra.Over a decade later, Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage focused on the titular couple’s happy ending — despite a 12-year age difference — after the characters met on the Big Bang Theory‘s Young Sheldon prequel.

“It gives Georgie somewhere to go,” Montana Jordan, who plays Georgie, noted to Us in October 2024. “In this new show, Georgie finally gets to show that he’s not just this dumb kid. He actually does have a brain on him. And on Young Sheldon I’m sure he got overlooked a lot. Maybe him being the tire king is his way of showing and proving people that he is not this dumb kid [but a mature adult]. He actually has some brains on him.”

Keep scrolling for TV’s most controversial age gaps over the years:

Age Gap: 12 Years

The fictional couple faced many challenges after meeting in season 5 of Young Sheldon. Georgie, who was 17 at the time, lied that he was 21 while 29-year-old Mandy (Emily Osment) pretended to be 25.

Haley (Sarah Hyland) had several unpopular onscreen romances but 23-year-old Haley dating Rainer (Nathan Fillion) — who was likely twice her age — took the cake, for sure.

Age Gap: 21 years

While no legal ramifications, Monica’s (Courteney Cox) romance at 27 with Richard (Tom Selleck) at 48 might have landed differently if they didn’t meet when she was a child. Friends also had a startling romance between Phoebe’s brother Frank and his teacher-turned-wife Alice, who was 26 years his senior.

Alicent and Viserys (‘House of the Dragon’)
