I found and bought this book today! It's like the bible of popular sitcoms! I wish it was solely on retro shows, but I can take the new with the old.
Some shows have at least 4 - 6 pages dedicated to them. Each show also has numerous colour pics of the cast and scenes from episodes. Amongst my personal faves included... Good Times, Three's Company, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Facts of Life, Jefferson, One Day At A Time, Brady Bunch, Cosby Show, Diff'rent Strokes, Golden Girls, The Nanny, Perfect Strangers etc. Best money I've ever spent. I also love how it's a stylish coffee table book with glossy pages - makes it a nice collectors piece.
