I only have one called "TV Moms" which goes through tv moms from the 50's to the 00's. It has Good Times, Eight is Enough, Cosby Show etc featured in it.

I'd like to have more tv books, especially ones focusing on the 80's but they're non-existent!

I have:
"The Beverlly Hillbillies"-a complete history of the show-including that awful 1981 reunion movie-going from the start in 1962 all the way up to 1988 when the book was written. They have a new edition taking it up to 2004.
"Harry & Walleys guide to TV"-a book which lists EVERY show, and gives a review of them, from 1947 to 1989 (when it was written)

I really have too many to name. I have hundreds of books on the Star Trek shows, quite a few on The X-Files and a few on Alias.:)

I also have one all about "Taxi". It's just titled "Taxi", and I have "The Complete Book of MASH" (not M*A*S*H; because Hollywood added the astericks), and I have "MASH-The Complete, Authrized Book of One of Televisions Most Popular Shows", and even they're technically not a tv show, I have a few 3 stooges books "The Three Stooges Scrapbook", "Moe Howard and The Three Stooges", Curly-An Authorized Biography of the Super stooge", and "Larry-The Stooge in the Middle". I also have LOTS of "Star Trek", "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" books including William Shatners two books "Star Trek Memories" and "Star Trek Movie Memories".

I have several books on The Three Stooges, although those were really theatrical shorts. I have a number of books on The Adventures of Superman, The Odd Couple, one about The Dick Van Dyke Show...

I'll probably think of many more later. (Basements too full of stuff for just a quick check.)

Ofcourse I have The Official Star Trek Quiz Book, the old one from 1984. I say "ofcourse," because the author, Mitchell Maglio, is my best friend. The book was done in the context of being a Starfleet training manual, and opens with a letter to a Starfleet Admiral who just happens to have my name.

I have three books about the Stooges: MOE HOWARD & THE THREE STOOGES
by Moe Howard, THE THREE STOOGES SCRAPBOOK, and Michael Fleming's
THE THREE STOOGES: FROM AMALGAMATED MORONS TO AMERICAN ICONS
(the book on which Mel Gibson's TV-movie was based). They're my favorite
comedy team; love 'em all (Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly-Joe).
But Curly Howard is my favorite. He was a comedy genius.
