Sad Which legendary TV show creator is the most full of himself/herself?

If you don't see the one you think is the most pompous listed, vote for "other" and list him/her?

Chuck Lorre: the only shows he created that I like are "Grace Under Fire", "Cybill", & "Dharma & Greg".

I've heard of most of the names on the list but I would only consider 1 of them legendary. Joss Whedon--he's my favorite and I think he deserves all the praise that he gets.

Putting Lena Dunham & Legendary in the same sentence is like putting water in your gas tank, they simply don't mix.

How about Mark Burnett---thanks to him we're stuck with Survivor and the never-ending desperate attempts to keep this show on the air.

This! I think that Survivor has been another of the worst shows I have ever seen.

I have to agree with norman lear and the funny thing about him is that on tv he comes across as a warm grandfatherly type man but he has a rep for treating most of his actors like crap chuck lorre is full of himself but that being said at least with him what you see is what you get unlike norman lear who puts on an act chuck lorre is real weather you like him or not I do like more of norman;s shows than chucks though
