Summary
Hollywood lost a comedy legend this past Friday with the death of James Burrows, the Emmy-winning director behind “Cheers,” “Friends,” and “Will & Grace.” With over 1,000 episodes directed, he shaped TV comedy for decades, from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” to “The Big Bang Theory.” More than a master filmmaker, he was a mentor, a co-creator, and a kind soul who made everyone feel seen — leaving behind a legacy of laughter, timeless shows, and an industry forever changed by his generosity and genius.
