Met my siblings for lunch today at Alexis diner and LOVED the car out front 😆

🎬🎬 You don't know his face and may not know his name, but he made you laugh many times.

James Burrows has died.

Among the TV shows he directed- Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, Laverne and Shirley, Taxi, Cheers, Friends, Frasier, Bob Newhart Show, Night Court, The Golden Girls, The Cosby Show, Will and Grace, Big Bang Theory... over 1,000 episodes of hilarious television, he helped craft.

He in fact, co-created Cheers which was a massive hit.

What's interesting is how he got his start. He was travelling the country directing plays and met a young rising star named Mary Tyler Moore. Some years later, he needed work and called Mary and said, "You probably don't remember me but..."

She did remember and told him to come to Hollywood where she got him started directing TV shows. That's a nice friend and thank goodness for Mary because we got to enjoy so much of Burrows fine work.

People who worked with him say he treated everyone he encountered with utmost respect, from the big name talent to the make-up, costume and set folks. Just a kind soul.

Can you imagine the number of stars who will come to his wake to pay their respects.

James Burrows was 85.

I don't know you Jimmy, but thanks for the laughs 😉
