Chuck Lorre is pretty damn good at creating comedy/drama!
In Hollywood over the last 40 years certain names will stick out for how many shows and successful TV shows they have had, via either writing or producing: Aaron Spelling, Sidney Sheldon and just a few more.
The latest entry on this list began back writing on the Roseanne show, one of the greatest "real life" comedies ever produced. That person is Chuck Lorre. This guy's resume for TV is un-****ing-believable. He is worth every penny he makes. Kudos to Chuck ================ Chuck Lorre (/ˈlɔːri/;[1] born Charles Michael Levine; October 18, 1952)[2] is an American television director, writer, producer, and composer. Called the "King of Sitcoms" during the 2010s,[3][4][5][6][7] he has created and produced sitcoms including Grace Under Fire, Cybill, Dharma & Greg, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, Mom, Young Sheldon, The Kominsky Method, Disjointed, and Bob Hearts Abishola. He also served as an executive producer of Roseanne. In 2019, he received his first Golden Globe Award for The Kominsky Method. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Lorre |

Some of the same people are involved in Komisnky Method and I finally caught up with the show late last year, more of a courtesy than anything else. If you're fan of "Old School" actors like Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin, you'll probably like the show. For me, the premise was a bit surprising, even though it's right there in the title. It's a comedy but it really borders on "Dramedy", so it's not funny all the time. I found the show to be a little "uneven" at times but it's worth watching overall, mainly to see Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin. |

Who’s responsible for “The Neighborhood” ?
I’ve recently started liking it. |

My compliments to your friends. They do a great job. The relationship between the mother and daughter remind of the real life relationship between my Goddaughter's mother and her alcoholic mom. I swear I've sat a kitchen table and heard some of those conversations before. |

Lorre is kinda hit and miss, imo. The new sitcom god has gotta be Michael Schur.

Allison Janney is crazy. Great writing for her. I think that had to be tampered down on West Wing.
Best part of of Two and half men were the women that came across the screen. Holy cow. Dane-Agreed with Frazod. The show is very well written and I am sure real for some people. |

The Big Bang Theory was a great show. It has also proven to be a very good rewatching show.

Norman Lear. /thread
Dude repurposed two British ideas into "All In The Family" and "Sanford and Son". Spun "The Jeffersons" and "Maude" off "All In The Family"; spun "Good Times" off "Maude" and then threw in "One Day At A Time" for good measure. It took a middle-aged Jew to decide to tackle head-on some things in the 1970s that were not exactly popular (race relations, women's lib, divorce). Honorable mention goes to Sherwood Schwartz, another little old Jew who worked on some early radio and TV comedies (Bob Hope, Red Skelton, "Ozzie and Harriet") before delivering two of the stupidest and most endearing childhood memories for anyone currently 50 or older: "Gilligan's Island" and "The Brady Bunch". |
