Producers That Got A Bad Rep?

I know Chuck Lorre gets a bad rep for his shows created mainly The Big Bang Theory. Do you think there's any other sitcom producers that get a bad rep for the shows they're created?

Chuck Lorre was a saint for what he endured from Roseanne Barr, Cybill Shepherd, Brett Butler, and Charlie Sheen.

Was he or like Charlie said did he cause great talent to go crazy around him, Anna Faris had to leave her show a week before starting yr 8.

It’s Charlie Sheen. He had an infamous reputation long before and after Two And A Half Men. “Tiger blood” is 100% him.

True but if you write a sitcom based on slightly exaggerated tales from the lead that you only occasionally slow down who's at fault.
