Originally broadcast on American television between 1952 and 1969, the 30 situation comedies in this work are seldom seen today and receive only brief and often incomplete and inaccurate mentions in most reference sources. Yet these sitcoms (including Angel, The Governor and J.J., It's a Great Life, I'm Dickens … He's Fenster and Wendy and Me), and the stories of the talented people who made them, are an integral part of television history. With a complete list of production credits and rare publicity stills, this volume, based on multiple screenings of episodes, corrects other sources and expand our knowledge of television history.

“Tucker is blessed with a writing style that is very distinct, informative, clean-cut, to the point, and easy to understand. I learned a lot from this book...Tucker is one of McFarland’s very best authors. Not only does he write well, his research skills are impeccable.”—Classic Images; “great new classic tv book...well-written, meticulously researched, collection of fascinating stories that sizzle with fresh insight and untold anecdotes. This is absolutely the best book I’ve read on classic television shows in I can’t remember when, it may be my favorite of all time. I was constantly amazed at the historical and relational parallels that interlace David C. Tucker’s thoroughly enjoyable romp through TV’s gawky adolescence...a bright, breezy package with photos from all of the shows...I can’t recommend this book highly enough, what a great summer read this is!”—TVParty.
