Fondly referred to as the “King of Sitcoms” due to the countless television knockouts he has helped create, small screen genius Chuck Lorre crafted an enduring and beloved universe with the release of the fan-favorite series The Big Bang Theory in 2007, a celebrated comedy that ran for 12 exciting seasons and became a major pop culture phenomenon. Its massive popularity and success led to the acclaimed coming-of-age prequel Young Sheldon, which detailed child prodigy Sheldon Cooper’s unique upbringing in a small Texas town during the late ’80s and early ’90s.
