NBC's great years. The 1980's. Seinfeld, Frasier, Cheers, The Cosby Show, Friends, The Golden Girls. Back in the days when show business people created the great shows. Before the light bulb corporations took over the networks and decided profit was the only thing. To hell with talent.
"TOP OF THE ROCK-INSIDE THE RISE AND FALL OF MUST SEE TV" by Warren Littlefield tells the whole story. How those great shows came to be, the behind the scenes stories about the stars.
Back to the days when we had the "big three" and that's all there was. The days when you didn't need 400 channels to find one good show (if you're lucky).
If you loved those good old days of TV you'll love this book. The writing is as quick and snappy as the shows were.
Now, it's even more fun watching the re-runs.
