I browsed this book at my local bookstore this week. Sitcoms The 101
Greatest TV Comedies of All Time
http://www.blackdogandleventhal.com/products/9781579127527/
The Andy Griffith Show is obviously included. Inexplicably Gomer Pyle
USMC is not included. There is a nice, albeit inaccurate, spread on
our favorite show. Like so many that don't have the facts straight.
They claim "Don Knotts decided to leave the show" (veterans know that
Andy was going to stop after five years, so Don signed a movie deal, and
them Andy was coaxed to continue on).
What's nice though is that they have 4 pages on "Character Actors" Of
40 stars shown, by my count at least 13 were on T.A.G.S.. That's a
great percentage!! (or is it Horatio) Characters such as Otis, Clara,
Mayor Stoner, Mrs. Wiley , etc. are shown.
I didn't have time to read more , but it looked like a nice summary of
each show including some up through current day. I just couldn't agree
with all the selections .
See what you think, if you see it, in the Entertainment section of your
bookstore.
The Untrained (but well-read) Voice
