Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the name of the first sitcom that Chuck Lorre created?

Answer: Frannie's Turn

This very short-lived series was on the CBS network in the US. It only ran for a little over one month in the fall of 1992, with a total of five episodes making it to air. There was a sixth episode filmed, but it was not aired before the show was cancelled.

Although he didn't create them, Lorre was a writer on many other shows, including "Charles in Charge", "Roseanne", and "My Two Dads".
2. The second show that Lorre created did better than the first. How many episodes of "Grace Under Fire" made it to air?

Answer: 112

Lorre's first creation, "Frannie's Turn", lasted only five episodes before it was cancelled. "Grace Under Fire" did much better, being rated as the number one new show in the 1993-94 season. It lasted for four and a half years before it was cancelled. Lorre also acted as writer and executive producer on this show.
3. The third show that Chuck Lorre created was "Cybill". Who or what was the title referring to?

Answer: It refers to the show's star Cybill Shepherd (character name Cybill Sheridan)

"Cybill" was a sitcom that was created by Lorre that aired on the CBS network in the US from 1995-1998. The show was about an aging actress and her struggles with divorce and being a single mother. Lorre won the Golden Globe Award for "Cybill" in 1996.
4. Which of the following did Chuck Lorre NOT create?

Answer: Mike & Molly

Chuck Lorre is a busy man! Although "Mike & Molly" is a funny sitcom, it was created by Mark Roberts. However, Lorre did act as writer and executive producer on the show. He created "Disjointed" in 2017, "Bob Hearts Abishola" in 2019, and "Dharma & Greg" in 1997.
5. What are Lorre's vanity cards?

Answer: A paragraph, shown very briefly at the end of a show

Ever since "Dharma & Greg", Lorre included a paragraph at the end of each of his shows. The paragraph or blurb read like editorials or observations about life. The blurbs appeared only very briefly, typically making it impossible to read without recording the shows, then pausing when the card came on. The cards were stopped in 2015, but reappeared in 2018.
6. Chuck Lorre created "Two and a Half Men". What other duties did he have on that show?

Answer: Writer, director, executive producer

Lorre was a busy guy on this show. Besides all four roles listed in this question, he also co-wrote the theme music. Once again, Lorre's magic touch for sitcoms helped him out here. The show ran for twelve seasons from 2003 through 2014.
7. Which of Lorre's creations had the main characters named after the actor who played bartender Nick in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life"?

Answer: The Big Bang Theory

Sheldon Leonard Bershad was the actor who played Nick in "It's a Wonderful Life". Bershad was also a television actor, producer, director, and writer. He worked on shows such as "The Andy Griffith Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show". The two main characters in "The Big Bang Theory", Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, were named to honour this man who came before Lorre in episodic comedy television in the US.
8. One of Lorre's most popular creations, "The Big Bang Theory", came to an end in 2019. What Lorre-created prequel to this show went on the air in 2017?

Answer: Young Sheldon

The character Sheldon Cooper was the popular star of "The Big Bang Theory". That show ran from 2007-2019. In order to capitalize on the popularity of the Sheldon character, and to fill in some information about Sheldon's younger life, Lorre created "Young Sheldon". He worked his creativity magic, and "Young Sheldon" became a very popular show too,
9. Lorre created "The Kominsky Method". It premiered in 2018. Who is the main star of the show?

Answer: Michael Douglas

Lorre stretched his creativity wings a bit with "The Kominsky Method". Rather than a sitcom, it is described as a comedy-drama about an aging actor (Kominsky) who becomes an acting coach. Michael Douglas plays Kominsky in the series. The show also stars Alan Arkin, Sarah Baker, Nancy Travis, and Kathleen Turner.
10. Chuck Lorre, his shows and the actors in them have been honoured with a variety of awards over the years. Has he ever been honoured by being inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame?

Answer: Yes

Lorre was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2012. This Hall of Fame was set up in 1984 to honour individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to US television. He has also won BMI Television Music Awards for the theme to "Two and a Half Men", received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Golden Globe Awards for a number of shows. Perhaps the most pertinent to this quiz, he received the Critics' Choice Award for Creative Achievement in 2019.
