Book Presentation:
This book finally casts a spotlight on some short-lived and almost forgotten sitcoms--those which aired for only one single season. Many books have already been written about situation comedies that enjoyed long and storied runs on television but this volume focuses upon the others. Overflowing with fresh facts, interviews, photographs, and stories, nearly 300 short-lived sitcoms over a 32 year span are presented A-to-Z, whether network or syndicated, prime time or Saturday morning.

About the Author:
Bob Leszczak has spent the last three decades as an on-air radio personality in great US cities such as Washington, D. C., Boston, NYC, Tampa, Orlando, Denver, and Riverside/San Bernardino. He is the former writer and producer of a weekly syndicated five-hour music trivia program called "Solid Gold Scrapbook." He lives in Toms River, New Jersey.
