Memorable Lines:
Lorre's focus is still very much on the writing and his time is divided more or less equally between the two shows. "We're coming up to the 150th episode of Two and a Half Men and about a third of the way along that with Big Bang Theory and the magic trick of it all is, how do you keep it fresh without being redundant, without becoming a formulaic show where the audience is way ahead of you?" he says.
It's not a question, Lorre says, of hitting the same note weekly but of trying to find the note on different instruments. "The nature of television is that you're telling a story without an ending. By economic necessity it can't end so the trick is to find a way to keep it alive, and that's frustrating."
"There are elements in both shows [BBT/TAAHM] that might be flying under the radar to a certain part of the audience but I'm really wary of making the show insulated or elitist in that way - a show that communicates to a select few - because that's offensive," Lorre says. "I don't want people to feel excluded, that's not our job. Our job is simple - to entertain and not to pick who we want to entertain. That's self-destructive."
