Jerry Bruckheimer

"17. Everything that has not yet exploded explodes."

- Guide to Determine If You Are in a Jerry Bruckheimer Movie

One of the most prolific producers in contemporary television, although he mostly just controls the process.

Shows of his currently airing or soon to air:
 * The Amazing Race
 * Cold Case
 * The entire CSI franchise.
 * Dark Blue (TV series)
 * The Forgotten
 * Chase

Also responsible for several box office smashes, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Armageddon, National Treasure and Black Hawk Down.

Critics often complain about his film work, saying it's just a big pile of over-emoting and Stuff Blowing Up. Whether you like it or hate it, it pretty much defines the term "glorified B-movie".
