They're back. The Vanity Cards, i can't believe they're back. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Watch Two and a Half Men, starring Charlie Sheen. It's co-created by the same person who created Dharma & Greg, Chuck Lorre. I was so thrilled to see them back. And they picked off where they last left off on Dharma & Greg. So vanity card 108 was shown on the first episode of Two and a Half Men.
the vanity cards are so neat. i would think more shows would have them, but they don't.

Cool. I liked those.

Bisz · 09-24-2003, 10:33 PM

I wasn't planning on watching any of the new shows this season but this I have to check out.

Mr. Television · 09-24-2003, 11:29 PM

I saw them. Two and a half men is a great show. It looks like Chuck Lorre has another hit on his hands.

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #108 When Dharma was cancelled my heart was broken. Over the next few years my efforts to mend it by creating a new show led to an even deeper emotional nadir when I noticed that I had somehow become the author of a seemingly endless succession of failed pilots and pilot scripts. This was not a big enough string of stinkers to lower AOL-Time Warner's stock price (that had already been done by people more incompetent than myself), but my ill-advised attempts at heart-mending were sufficient enough to cause people in suits to not look up from their cobb salads when I ambled into the WB commissary (in Hollywood even has-beens amble). But I was indomitable. I kept writing... and failing... and ambling. And then, about a year ago, my good friend and favorite cross-to-bear, Lee Aronsohn, told me he needed to write something fairly quickly in order to keep his Writer's Guild health insurance. Everyone -- friends, agents, execs -- told me not to get involved. They assured me that I was too big, too successful, for such a partnership. You see where this is going. Lee and I wrote "Two and a Half Men." Which brings me to the glaringly obvious spiritual lesson in all this. How do you mend a broken heart? The Bee Gee's never figured it out, but I did. You help a friend keep their health insurance from lapsing.

I'm not sure I understand, what is a Vanity Card?

Bisz · 09-25-2003, 03:48 PM

You know how at the end of each show all the companies that make the show display their company logos and such. Well, Chuck Lorre Productions displays Chuck's 'vanity cards'. He writes a whole bunch of stuff and then it gets shown on air for free for 2 seconds. Its his little soap box to say anything he wants... almost.

ImKukie · 09-27-2003, 03:18 AM

thanks for posting the vanity cards. You should make a habit of that since I don't tape the show & am usually too lazy or forgetfull to look it up myself so it was great that you posted it here for me

We should create a thread just for posting each weeks vanity cards & we can comment on them (if we so desire)

I miss D&G but I am happy to know the cards are back

THANX

Bisz · 09-27-2003, 10:39 AM

No Problem

All of Chucks cards are at his website, www.chucklorre.com Some of the earlier ones even have commentaries.

factsoflife · 01-19-2004, 06:05 PM

This may be impossible, but does anyone have all of the vainty cards from "Dharma and Greg" so that they can post them...

Also how do you READ the vanity cards? do you have to record the show?

Yes you have to record the show. Then you can pause it and read the VC. actually if you go to www.tvtome.com and go to the D & G page in the ep guide it lists all of the Vanity Cards at the end of their respective episodes.

WOW thanks so much.

Cheryl Harrell · 01-20-2004, 05:57 PM
