The Showrunners : A Season Inside the Billion-Dollar, Death-Defying, Madcap World of Television's Real Stars
Editorial Reviews
-- TV Guide
"A dishy, entertaining page-turner that follows the lives of the smart, neurotic and driven producers in charge of network series."
Book Description
By spending the last full TV season of the twentieth century in the company of television's real stars-the writers and producers of America's most popular shows -bestselling author David Wild got the nittygritty answers to all of these questions, and a few more. Updated to include new material on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire mania, this is a behind-the-scenes look at the top of TV's creative food chain. So tune in as the creators of Party of Five cope with the sweeps week by having Julia (Neve Campbell) kiss another girl, as two former Seinfeld scribes find that there is life after Seinfeld, and as straight and gay pair of buddies bring the world to Will & Grace.
A gripping, eye-opening book, The Showrunners offers a fascinating group portrait of what it really takes to make it in prime-time TV-the Darwinian marketplace where art and commerce butt heads.
