I've always enjoyed reading about certain flop sitcoms. My new book includes a chapter devoted exclusively to sitcom writers' memories of working on flops. There's some interesting material about The Duck Factory, E/R, Phyllis, The Betty White Show, My Mother, the Car, Chicken Soup and Good Morning, World, among many others. Special attention is given to He & She and My World and Welcome To It, since they are stellar examples of high quality flops.

Can't wait to read it.
I got it because I was amazed at the quality of writers interviewed. David Lloyd didn't do many interviews.
But on Amazon, I had to go inside the book to find out who was interviewed.
Their names are a big selling point and that should be on opening page.
Second, why is this notice in this forum for limited sitcom successes when the writers interviewed were major successes?
Thanks for the book. It looks excellent.

Someone already did a post in the General Sitcom Discussions so I thought I would do one in this forum because one chapter of the book covers some flops you rarely read about. But you are right in that most of the book is about more successful shows. Hope you enjoy it.

I just submitted a review for Amazon where I mentioned all the names.
Thanks for a great book.
