Tonight, Chuck Lorre makes TV history by being the first sitcom creator or co-creator to have a program for all four half hours of a block. I'm amazed it took us until 2021 for such a phenomenon to happen. Kind of a special thing to happen on my first day as WOT's regular Thursday correspondent. And how about that gif, huh? I made it myself.
