Chuck Lorre Tells The Truth
Chuck Lorre shows are some of my favorite: Grace Under Fire, Dharma & Greg and The Big Bang Theory, arguably one of the wittiest shows on TV today. His smart comedy provides a running commentary of American culture and it’s substrates.
One of the best attributes of Lorre shows is the vanity cards that play at the end of each show. All individually numbered, they read like an essay and are a statement about society, culture, life… Lorre provides us a slightly cynical view of the world without overstatement.
The vanity card that followed last night’s The Big Bang Theory gives great insight into how our culture is shifting. Gone are the days of Murrow and Cronkite. Gone are the days when our news was delivered by calm voices of reason and objectivity. Good job Chuck Lorre – you called it like it is. We live is noisy world where every one yells at us – even the news.
