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. This book is an outstanding reference guide for obscure, hard-to-find information on nearly 300 short-lived television shows. Each entry gives an overview of the program, the actors involved, time slot, sponsors, writers, producers, and number of episodes. There is a great deal of unpublished information culled from interviews with cast members, writers, and directors, and from rare footage in the UCLA TV Archives and the Paley Center for Media. While these shows may be mentioned in larger, more comprehensive television directories and on various websites, this reference book gives unique and complete information that will be helpful to television buffs and trivia addicts. Suitable for circulating collections in public and academic libraries. --Merle Jacob “an outstanding reference guide for obscure, hard-to-find information on nearly 300 short-lived television shows...unique and complete information”― Booklist ; “provides detailed information about 300 sitcoms from 1948–1979 that lasted only one television season”― ARBA ; “compiles a comprehensive dossier of television sitcoms”― Reference & Research Book News ; “I loved it.
