Best TV Sitcom Book - Must-Read Guide for Comedy Lovers | Perfect for Home Entertainment & Gift Ideas

This is a great product for anyone who adored their childhood Sitcoms or misses the good old days of television. It begins at the start of Sitcoms on television and ends in 1980. It covers a lot. Unfortunately were it ends is right before the other great classics like Cheers, Perfect Strangers, Night Court, The Cosby Show, and Golden Girls. That said, if your interested in everything before that, this book will please you. Shows that had the highest ratings and were at the top of their game are given two or three page summaries. Examples of shows that get this distinction are I Love Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Leave It to Beaver, MASH, and the Andy Griffith Show. It doesn't leave out the others though. It gives small summaries and facts for "all" the other shows on during the year (I say all, because there are a lot, but I wasn't alive for any of the shows listed in the book so I couldn't say if anything was omitted). But it's a fun read and it's great to see what was on and what was considered cool at the time. I had to do a report for a theater class: compare Roman Comedy to Sitcoms. This book was extremely helpful and I was able to make an A on the paper. The introduction explains the different kinds of Sitcoms and other information that you don't normally think about. Like I said before, it's a great read and a great buy. Definitely worth the price.
