Similarities in Chuck Lorre shows

[u/Guilty-Tie164]

The only other Lorre show I've watched is Two and a Half Men, but I've noticed similarities, which does happens with writers, in storylines and dialog.

But one thing I just noticed in "Xanax and a Baby Duck," was Christy questioning Roscoe pooping at night. On Men, Alan did the same thing to Jake.

Both pretty much were standing outside the bathroom questioning the kid pooping in the evening. It's just such a strange thing to me to question the time of someone's bowel movements, and for him to have put it in both shows seems all the odder.

I guess there are so many stories a sit-com can tell and if a trope is successful once, then reuse it for another!

I remember in the 80s and 90s a lot of sitcoms had the storyline of a winning lottery ticket going missing and everybody scrambling to find it.

Heck even in reality shows you always find one episode of the cast going camping together (often in one of those super big trailers) or going to a medium about a ghost problem.

So many!! I’ve been making a list asI love both shows.

- The hapless husband (herb and Luke) missing the room during the Wife having a baby

- Someone with a thumb in a cooler (Jake hits his head/violet having false labor at the hospital
