History

The company's founder Chuck Lorre in 2011

Chuck Lorre Productions was founded in the 1990s, but incorporated on January 10, 2000, in Los Angeles, California,[citation needed] by American television director, writer, producer, composer, and actor Chuck Lorre. The company is headquartered at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California.[1]

In March 1994, the company entered an exclusive overall deal with The Carsey-Werner Company.[2] The company's founder, Chuck Lorre, began his affiliation with Carsey-Werner in 1990 as supervising producer on Roseanne.[3] In October 1995, the company entered a four-year overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television, for an estimated US$12 million.[4][5]

In September 1999, the company entered a four-year production pact with Warner Bros. Television, for an estimated US$8 million a year.[5] The company's move to Warner Bros. was in relation to the former 20th Century Fox Television president, Peter Roth, who became the president of Warner Bros. Television in March 1999,[6] bringing Lorre to Warner Bros. Television.[7] In August 2012, the company entered a four-year overall development and production deal with Warner Bros. Television.[8][9]
