“Don’t watch Nick at Nite without this
book.”

Wonderfully written and amazing throughout… it
not only tells you what TV’s funniest shows were
all about, but reveals what made them so funny in the
first place. One of the few essential resources for
anyone involved in the business of writing television
comedy—or anyone who’d like to be.”

it must have been like to have been there during the
creation of some of TV’s finest half-hours.”

It explains and defines what television is all about.”
