Description de l'ouvrage:
During the "Must See TV" 1990s, Americans enjoyed such immensely popular sitcoms as Friends, Seinfeld, Home Improvement and The Drew Carey Show. Shows that did not make the ratings cut numbered in the hundreds--the emergence of new networks and cable channels airing original programming resulted in a vast increase in short-lived sitcoms over the previous decade. Some of these "flops" were actually quite good and deserved a better fate.

The author revisits them--along with the "dramedies" of the day--with detailed entries providing production and broadcast information, along with critical analyses, and recollections by cast and crew members. A subsection highlights sitcoms that returned for an abbreviated second season. Dozens of cast and crew photographs are included.

À propos de l'auteur :

Revue de Presse:
"Fans of ill-fated 1990s shows such as Freaks and Geeks are in for a treat―McFarland devotes an entire volume to sitcoms that lasted no more than one season. While there’s plenty of memorable fare there are plenty of lesser known broadcasts, too."―Library Journal; "This is a great book―and more than another ‘just the facts ma’am’ reference book...this book is pure gold...jam-packed with tons of useful information. I loved this book. No TV reference library is complete without it"―Lee Goldberg, author and producer.
