“Lost Laughs of ‘50s and ‘60s Television: Thirty Sitcoms That Faded Off Screen”. It mostly covers one-season wonders, but there are a few that lasted two seasons and a couple that lasted three. I bought my copy new a few years ago and it was a bit expensive, but if you can find a used copy consider buying it.

WOW a BIG THANK YOU for the link. There are a number of books I wanted to read, but for 30-50 dollars, I'll need to pass. I was searching for some of these online to read, but I could never find a website to read them!

These are cool too:


You're right. Those are great books to read and I remember reading them when they came out in print form. I haven't yet seen them online. I'll put up a link for them if I ever do find them.

I had the Mitz book once. Since junked it.

The "Lost Laughs" book describes 30 different 'short-lived' sitcoms in great detail. I thought it would be fun and interesting to get video links for as many of them as I can find. That way, you can watch them after reading about them.
