Regarding modern television, few names are as powerful or profitable as Chuck Lorre. In recent decades, Lorre has written, produced and created several successful television series that have not only helped shape the sitcoms of the Network in Prime Time, but have often put the trend on comedy television in the future . Overall, Lorre’s programs present relatable and daily people in extraordinary situations or find the relatable human elements ignored when they focus on extraordinary people.
Having won his scratches as a television writer in programs like “Charles in Charge” and “My Two Dads”, Lorre has been a must for industry for over 40 years. He has repeatedly proven that he includes the key to finding commercial success, despite the numerous criticisms valid by his dependence on humor formula. Therefore, we are here to highlight the five best shows in Chuck Lorre, with the fact that it is on those he created or co-created (sorry, “Roseanne” and “Mike and Molly”). This also includes its companies beyond broadcast television and in the world of streaming.
5. Big Bang theory
Chuck Lorre is perhaps “the king of sitcoms”, but his golden goose is in the form of 12 seasons of the phenomenon of pop culture “The Big Bang Theory”, which he co-created with Bill Prady. Few popular sitcoms have never been so polarizing as “The Big Bang Theory”, with its undeniable popularity, bringing millions of viewers (and dollars) despite the many criticisms and viewers who consider the show one of the worst comedies ever made . Whatever someone thinks about the program or the end of their end, to deny the cultural change of the impact and the sitcom which occurred following the “theory of the big bang “must be anhistoric. Not only did the show cause two distinct derivative series, but it has also helped normalize geek culture as no longer being a niche interest, while comics films and the new eras of “Star Wars” and ” Star Trek “picked up vapor.
Most importantly, he also proved that there was still value in the multi-caméra sitcom played for a live studio audience, overwhelming it in the game of notes when it seemed that the form was going to change for Being the monocol comedies that have often broken the fourth wall. The spectacle, which revolved around four scientists and a “normal” girl named Penny, counted on well -contrasted tropes and punchlines in the surface, but people do not have enough. The “Bazinga” shirts have sold like hotcakes, and once the series has finally introduced two scientific women of season 4 to balance its gender dynamics, “Big Bang theory” has stopped being so worthy of Figure teeth and rather started to look like a hang-out sitcom about people with different levels of social skills learn to be a community. Love it or hate it, the sitcom landscape as we know it currently owes a lot to the “big bang”.
4. Cybill
Chuck Lorre has established a number of his shows in Los Angeles and presented characters working in the entertainment industry. However, the popular sitcom of the 1990s “Cybill”, in particular, has really helped to open the eyes of the general public to inherent sexism in Hollywood. With Cybill Shepherd in the role of Cybill Sheridan, the series focuses on an aging woman who has been relegated to playing parts, invited spots and appearing in advertisements because she committed the unforgivable crime of, you have it guessed, aging. Many episodes have presented a show format with a show where Cybill played the different characters it had been interpreted, and many scenarios have been removed from the real experiences of Shepherd. Shepherd was joined by a stellar support cast which included Christine Baranski, Alicia Witt, Alan Rosenberg, Dedee Pfeiffer and Tom Wopat.
Although the show ended after four seasons (with CBS citing a lack of dimensions), Shepherd presumed In his autobiography “Cybill Disobeder” that the show was canceled due to the discomfort of the network with “feminist tendencies of the series and” the frank representation of female sexuality “. Throughout its race, “Cybill” was nominated for 12 Emmy Awards, winning the Golden Globe Award 1996 in the best television series – musical or comedy. Shepherd won his third Golden Globe Award for his performance, while Baranski received an Emmy, a Screen Actors Guild Award and an American Comedy Award for his performance as Cybill’s best friend, Maryann Thorpe. “Cybill” walked if “sex and the city” could run.
3. Young sheldon
I am firmly convinced that the noisiest enemies of “Young Sheldon” are those who have never seen the show and think it’s just cheap money following “The Big Bang Theory”. It is not unknown for a spin-off to reach the same heights as the series that generated it (brightening “the Jeffers” and “Daria”), but “Young Sheldon” is, at the ‘Opinion of this writer, the best thing to come from the “Big Bang”. What started as an original prequel (which Chuck Lorre co-created with Steven Molero) for the most memorable character of the successful sitcom quickly evolved into a truly touching dramatic in adulthood on a complicated family with a child of genius.
Tonally and narratively passing by its multi-camuras predecessor, “Young Sheldon” presented the narration of the adult Sheldon (Jim Parsons) while looking at his childhood while writing his memories. This gives the show a sentimental air among comedy, which makes it more like “The Wonder Years” than “Big Bang”. Although he only reached seven seasons compared to the 12 massive of his parent series, the show ended according to his own conditions and with a satisfactory end to appease his massive audience. And if fans are missing some of their favorite characters, the spin-off of this spin-off, “Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage”, is currently on the waves at the time of publication.
2. Mom
“What happened to Anna Faris after the films of” scary film “?” is a question that I unfortunately hear too often – because it means that people have not only missed His really incredible turn “The House Bunny” But also the eight seasons of his sitcom with Allison Janney, “mom”. Created by Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky and Gemma Baker, “Mom” focused on the dysfunctional relationship between Bonnie (Janney) and her distant daughter Christy (Faris), who both cover drug addicts on the way to remain sober. “Maman” has often addressed difficult and real difficulties such as alcoholism, pregnancy in adolescent girls, terminal diseases, domestic violence, mental health, sexual assault and the misogyny of garden variety, but have Helped the characters and the public through a lot of heart.
Faris and Janney are both at the top of their profession (Janney even won two Emmy Primetime Emmy prizes for an exceptional support actress in a comedy series), and as he is customary with Lorre shows, they are supported by a Set of Banger, including Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, Sadie Calvano, Blake Garrett Rosenthal, Matt Jones, French Stewart and Kristen Johnston. Although Faris’ decision to leave the series after season 7 contributed to the end of the show with season 8, “Mom” was a hilarious watch and a fantastic showcase of some of the funniest women in comedy.
1. Kominsky’s method
Although it only lasted three seasons, the Netflix series by Chuck Lorre “The Kominsky Method” is undoubtedly the best show he has ever made in terms of quality. With Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin (in his latest television role)The series follows Sandy Kominsky (Douglas), a former successful actor who now works as a beloved interim coach in Hollywood. He also runs a studio with his daughter Mindy (Sarah Baker), his longtime agent Norman Newlander (Arkin) by his side.
“Kominsky’s method” is a fascinating examination of the way in which the ancient a-visors sail in a city and an industry that favors youth and beauty. His support cast is also stacked, with Nancy Travis, Paul Reiser, Kathleen Turner, Emily Osment, Ann-Margret, Jane Seymour and Haley Joel Osment completing the big names. This does not mention the wave of stars invited in the form of celebrities who play themselves, notably Jay Leno, Patti Labelle, Elliott Gould, Eddie Money, Allison Janney, Morgan Freeman and Barry Levinson. Even people like Bob Odenkirk, Willam Belli and Danny Devito do cameos along the way.
Having attracted the nominations to the Emmy and two Golden Globe Awards (for the best television series – musical or comedy and a best actor – musical statuette or comedy of the television series for Douglas), “The Kominsky Method” was a great way to remember Public that Lorre is more capable than just improved comedies of Laugh-Track.
