[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 445167, member: 19949"] In Chuck Lorre’s memoirs, some of the stars of the sitcoms he produced get taken to task—Brett Butler is one of them: “Grace Under Fire” was “just a big, heartbreaking nightmare” under star Brett Butler, he writes. “She hated that her romantic interest was Dave Thomas, and insisted she could do better. She hated the scripts. She very quickly decided she hated me. She threw a full can of Coke at one of my writers, barely missing his head. She asked me to give a speaking part to an extra — for reasons left to my imagination. She rubbed up against young PAs who had no choice but to quietly sit and wait it out. To my knowledge, Carsey-Werner did nothing.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/chuck-lorre-scientology-roseanne-brett-butler-big-bang-1236910668/[/URL] As for Mom, I still wonder why Anna Faris left the sitcom; even Chuck Lorre keeps it a mystery, despite having no problem badmouthing (or just tell the truth about) Roseanne and Cybill.
