Inside Television's Greatest - Mary Tyler Moore & Bob Newhart
Editorial Review:
Description
The stars, the writers, the producers and those who almost made it big... Inside Television's Greatest reveals the answers to all the questions you've been dying to ask, and tells the secrets you wouldn't imagine to be true. Explore the creative process that brings an idea, and the characters of a new world, to life. Crawl inside the actors' heads and experience life in television from both sides of the camera. Understand the complex decisions and strange chain of events that bring the relative nameless to unequaled fame...and how one word can force them into obscurity. With Inside Television's Greatest, you'll never get closer to the shows that have brought so much joy, sadness and laughter into our lives. Without the courage of Mary Tyler Moore and Grant Tinker going into debt for a dream, we may have never had the chance to experience two of the most popular primetime masterpieces ever produced. Remaining free from network control, they created their own vision, taking hints from the past and rewriting the television sitcom. Though they began with the lowest ranked television episode ever in the history of CBS, Mary Tyler Moore and its colorful cast of characters worked its way into our hearts, spawning decades of reruns and knockoffs. The road to success had been paved and the genius of Bob Newhart would be next to take the drive. Find the answers to these fascinating questions and many more in Inside Television's Greatest: • Whose audition was so horrible that they came back to the producers 10 minutes later and said so, giving them their big break? • What character was originally cast as a psychologist, as well as Bob Newhart, only "wacky"? • Who was named one of the Top 50 TV Characters of all time? • Whose very first stand-up comedy album sold in surprising numbers, and caught the attention of the network?
