'At the taping I saw, lines that the actors had grown visibly sick of during the camera run-through, lines that even Lorre had stopped laughing at, were getting huge laughs. Everyone seemed lightly narcotized by the audience’s presence, the audience included.' from an old article with lots of insights into CL's working method, ' A lot of sitcoms are, in fact, darker than you realize. The Big Bang Theory is about alienation. You would never know it from the shows themselves, but you do, sometimes, feel it while watching them.' http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2010/1...ple-medium , also interesting how many films/programmes have been made on Stage 24 (the 'Friends' Stage), and Stage 25 http://www.thestudiotour.com/warnerbros/stage25.php
