Trivia
Annie Potts (Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker) and Wallace Shawn (Dr. John Sturgis) have previously worked together in the Toy Story (1995) franchise, playing Bo Peep and Rex. Zoe Perry's (Mary Cooper) mother, Laurie Metcalf, also co-starred, playing Andy's Mom.

Goofs
In this episode, Dr. John Sturgis first meets Connie and tells her that his middle name is "Whitney". But, in A Perfect Score and a Bunsen Burner Marshmallow (2019), he tells Sheldon that his full name is "Dr. John Burgess Sturgis".

Quotes
Sheldon Cooper: Did you know the word chauffeur is French for 'stoker' because the first automobiles were steam powered and the driver had to stoke the engine?
Meemaw: Right there. Why am I driving you to college when you already know everything?

Meemaw's Boyfriend

Sheldon tells to his family that the high-school is not providing knowledge to him and his pen-pal, Dr. John Sturgis, has invited him to watch his classes at the university as a non-degree student. Meemaw drives Sheldon to the university, and Dr. Sturgis hits on her and invites her to have dinner. Sheldon becomes excited with the idea that Meemaw could get married to Dr. Sturgis and double the number of intelligent people in the Cooper family.

"Gluons, Guacamole, and the Color Purple" is an awesome episode of "Young Sheldon". The flirt and date of Dr. Sturgis and Meemaw, with Sheldon acting like Cupid, is hilarious. He gives Meemaw's preferences to help the old scientist to conquer his grandmother. Sheldon telling Mary that he is happy with the possibility to have the second intelligent person in the family is hilarious. The interaction of Georgie and Missy studying and preparing her homework in this episode is the sweet part of the show. My vote is eight.
