''The Crazy Ones'' is an American sitcom created by David E. Kelley, and stars Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The single-camera series aired on CBS from September 26, 2013 to April 17, 2014 for one season. It was part of the 2013–14 American television season as a Thursday night 9:00 pm Eastern / 8:00 pm Central entry. Bill D'Elia, Dean Lorey and Jason Winer served as executive producers for 20th Century Fox Television. The episodes are loosely based on the life experiences of John R. Montgomery while he worked at Leo Burnett advertising in Chicago. On October 18, 2013, CBS gave the show a full season order. On February 27, 2014, the series switched timeslots with ''Two and a Half Men'' and started airing at 9:30 pm Eastern / 8:30 pm Central. As CBS cancelled the series on May 10, 2014, it marked Robin Williams' final television role. The series became available to stream via Netflix on April 1, 2015. ==Production== The series was executive produced by David E. Kelley, who had previously created the TV series ''Picket Fences'', ''Chicago Hope'', ''The Practice'', ''Ally McBeal'', ''Boston Public'', ''Boston Legal'' and ''Harry's Law'', and by Jason Winer. It starred Robin Williams as Simon Roberts, an executive at the Chicago advertising agency Lewis, Roberts + Roberts, who worked with his tightly wound daughter and protégée, Sydney, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar. The series represented Williams' first series regular role since ''Mork & Mindy'' 31 years earlier, and the first series for Gellar since ''Ringer'', which was canceled in 2012 after one season. Williams' part was written with him in mind. When Gellar learned that Williams was making a television comedy, she contacted her friend Sarah de Sa Rego, the wife of Williams' best friend, Bobcat Goldthwait, in order to lobby for a co-starring role.〔Hochman, David (September 9, 2013). "Still Crazy: Years after Mork and Buffy, Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar hope to rope us in with a new sitcom". ''TV Guide''. pp. 16–19.〕 The series was filmed on Soundstages 11 and 14 at the 20th Century Fox studios in Los Angeles, which had previously housed the production for the medical drama ''House''.〔 Actual big brand names were referenced in episodes in order to evoke a sense of realism, though the companies who own the brands did not pay for this, nor did they get script approval. In the pilot, singer Kelly Clarkson performed a modified version of the McDonald's slogan "You deserve a break today".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Crazy Ones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
