A year after it wrapped up, Chuck Lorre candidly shares why Young Sheldon was easily ordered by CBS.
Lorre gets candid about the real reason why Young Sheldon was quickly greenlit despite the divisive nature of The Big Bang Theory at Banff World Media Festival (via THR). The producer points out that, ultimately, it all boils down to if a show is going to be profitable for the network. Read his full quote below:
“I don’t know if you’re allowed to say his name anymore, but I walked in Les Moonves’ office about 10 years ago and said, ‘I have an idea for a show about Sheldon when he’s 10 years old in East Texas.’ And he went, ‘Go do it, now.’
“You never get a green light because it’s deep. You get a greenlight because they think they can make a profit,”
