Jerry Bruckheimer has become synonymous with event cinema ever since his first silver screen success story; the sexy sleeper hit Flashdance. Though that sultry romance picture is far from normal for the prolific producer, the titles the followed it – almost three decades of blockbusters including Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, Dangerous Minds, Armageddon, Remember The Titans and Pirates Of The Caribbean (amongst countless others) – have cemented his status in Hollywood history as one of the most successful filmmakers of all time.
His name is held in such high regard that it’s become the primary selling point used in marketing his movies, eclipsing the notoriety of the directors and actors that he hires. Naturally, all of the theatrical success that Bruckheimer had over the years has overshadowed his achievements on the small screen, which are quite substantial. For a decade now, Jerry Bruckheimer Television has been responsible for scores of top-rated, award winning programs across various genres and platforms. His most recent pilot, the fast-paced, adrenaline pumping cop drama Chase, drew nearly 8 million viewers and represents another amazing accomplishment for the 65-year-old media mogul.
Of course, Chase’s numbers represent just a fraction of the national audience that tunes in weekly to see Bruckheimer’s television shows. Read on below for a sampling of what JB Television has given to broadcast networks and consumers over the years.
