Chuck Lorre Productions #5
"Well, once again I'd like to thank you for not only watching but
videotaping "Dharma & Greg." I know you're busy, so this shows a
wonderful commitment on your part and I want you to acknowledge that
commitment with a big ol' Chuck Lorre vanity card hug. Okay, with that
done lets go with why you're here, to learn more of my more personal
beliefs. I believe this episode, which on the surface deals with a funny
Valentine's adventure, in fact grapples with the weighty issue
Weltschmerz. Weltschmerz is a German word which loosely means "world
suffering deriving from the inevitability of reality to never match up
with our expectations." Boy, only the Germans could come up with a word
like that. Anyway, in this episode Greg is in Weltschmerz hell as he
discovers that life is never quite like the brochure. Dharma, on the
other hand, recognizes that life is a flowing river and happiness exists
only when one embraces its ever changing nature. From this dilemma we
draw the comedic essence of our story. Finally, I believe that wehn I
retire and teach sitcom writing at a community college, I'll use this
theme for one of my classes to impress the kids."
