The creator of "Big Bang Theory", Chuck Lorre, tells his past drama with CBS

TV show guru Chuck Lorre – whose title "The Big Bang Theory" ends his last season – was broadcast on CBS in a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

Lorre reveals his best clashes with the network during the casting: "There was a lot of reluctance when I did" Two Men and Half Men "They did not want to Jon Cryer He was part of a series of pilots who were not on the air – or, if they did, they were canceled – and it was pinned with this label, "show killer". "

On another hit: "They did not want Melissa McCarthy in" Mike & Molly. "A year later she did" Bridesmaids "and became a superstar."

And he tells how he interpreted the role of Christine Baranski in the series "Cybill" of the mid-90s: "She was brilliant. CBS did not want it. I believe in the development of comedy. . . used the words "comedy death" to talk about it. "

She landed the role – but for Lorre, "I had about 18 episodes before being fired." He said, "Get fired by Cybill [Shepherd] was another low. If I remember correctly, there was a disagreement as to whether the second act worked for an episode. I stuck on my heel and did not want to change it – and was told not to come back. Do not fight with the star. Lesson learned. "
