Conservative Tribune reported: This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t know who watches the traditional four-camera sitcom in 2018. More specifically, I don’t know who watches Chuck Lorre four-camera sitcoms in 2018.
You may not know the name Chuck Lorre, but you’re probably familiar with his oeuvre. He’s the man responsible for such irreplaceable contributions to our national culture as “Grace Under Fire,” “Dharma & Greg,” “Two and a Half Men” and, perhaps most famously, “The Big Bang Theory.” Lorre’s sitcoms are basically what you watch as background noise while you try to do work, if at all.
Suffice it to say, then, that I didn’t catch the latest episode of “The Big Bang Theory.” I’m sure Sheldon did something very socially awkward and Rusty from “Christmas Vacation” made a few “Star Trek” jokes. Clearly, it’s something I’m having a FOMO moment over.
However, one thing I’m glad I missed was this:
‘The Big Bang Theory’ Credits Feature Prayer from Show’s Creator Calling on God to issue ‘Old Testament wrath’ against ‘ https://t.co/a2iZaeu71h pic.twitter.com/hIHLcaOVLI

While I don’t know much about Lorre’s shows, what I do know (if perhaps you don’t) is that he’s famous for putting a card at the end of the episode that appears for only a split second and contains a message on it. Fans can go to their DVR, pause it and take a good look at the Easter egg that Lorre has decided to leave for them. (And why not? Odds are he probably spent more time writing that than anything else in the episode.)
According to Newsbusters, Lorre slipped one such card into the end of Oct. 25 episode of “The Big Bang Theory.”
This card, however, had a very dodgy “prayer” on it.
“God, (I call you that even though I suspect thou art well beyond names and words and might actually be some sort of ineffable quantum situation), (sic) I humbly beseech thee to make thy presence known on November 6th,” he began, apparently peppering his prose with extra commas just in case.
“Demonstrate your omnipotence through us as we make ink marks on little circles in curtained booths,” the prayer continued. “Of course if you, in your divine wisdom, believe a fascist, hate-filled, fear-mongering, demagogic, truth-shattering, autocratic golf-cheater is what we need right now, then, you know, thy will be done.
“But if thou art inclined to more freedom, more love, more compassion, and just more of that good stuff thou hath been promoting in our hearts or our parietal lobes — either one, doesn’t really matter — I submissively ask that thy encourage voter turnout in that general direction.
“Also God, please help Bob Mueller,” it added. “Guide him and make him strong, brave, wise and true. And yes, I know there must be thousands of guys named Bob Mueller, so why not help them all, just to be on the safe side. Amen.”
“Oh, almost forgot, remind those who collaborate with the darkness that thou art the light, and the light is not above whipping out a little Old Testament wrath,” he concluded. “Amen again.”
