Single Season Sitcoms, 1948-1979: A Complete Guide
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 There is a great deal of unpublished information culled from interviews with cast members, writers, and directors, and from rare footage in the UCLA TV Archives and the Paley Center for Media.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
