How Did Two and a Half Men Get the Big Bang Theory a Second Pilot?
at 37:55
Answer
Chuck Lorre said the success of Two and a Half Men granted him the freedom to take a couple of tries at getting The Big Bang Theory right. He said they failed at first and made a lot of mistakes.
Two and a Half Men was so successful that CBS gave him unbelievable leeway to make decisions and to do the work over again, including the pilot. He said nobody gets a do-over. They got a do-over on The Big Bang Theory pilot. He said it never happens. They got one, and it worked out.
