## Resource

TV comedy lost a true giant this past Friday with the passing of James Burrows, the visionary director behind beloved classics like Cheers, Friends, Will & Grace, and The Big Bang Theory. With eleven Emmys and a career spanning decades, Burrows didn’t just direct—he built magic with actors, forged legendary on-set bonds, and championed the live multi-camera sitcom. From his roots in The Mary Tyler Moore Show to directing his 1,000th episode, his impact on television comedy is immeasurable. He died peacefully at 85, surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind a legacy that made millions laugh—and forever changed the way we watch TV.
