Mike is a great guy! Extremely talented & Wonderful to work – very happy for him!
Congrats to Mike! He’s a pleasure to work with and a very funny writer! Seriously one of the nicest guys in the biz.
Mike has been at Sony forever. It’s a good reminder that they support talented writers and I’m happy for them, really…Ok, I’m in love with him.
do you know if he’s married?
I am in agreement with all of you Mike Sikowitz is a extremely fine person, a talented writer/producer, and a wonderful husband and father. I believe that Sony and Rules of Engagement, will have continued success. Go Mike
That is totally awesome! Congrats to mike over the big news. Be very proud of all your hard work and accomplishments.
he was my favorite character on NYPD Blue
nice!
None can deny the comic mind responsible for “gum would be perfection” AND “The Pinata Hustler.” Way to go, Mike.
I like that guy.
Okay, is Rules of Engagement funny? Because I see the promos when I’m watching other CBS shows and the last thing they make me want to do is watch the show. And if it is funny, how come they use those moments for the promos? Has anyone seen the spot with David Spade saying he’s not acting childish and then in a turn of comedic genius acts childish over chocolate milk? Am I missing the funny? more power to the writers for keeping it on so long, I guess.
Mike’s a comedy genius, and a generous showrunner with young writers. Sony has invested well.
Too bad he will be too busy with development to work on his overhead. That shot still needs some work…
