I bought this book at a used book sale for $1 because I love TV shows and especially sitcoms. I did enjoy the pictures in this book, but that's about it, really. I wish the book would have stuck only to American sitcoms because I didn't enjoy reading through the listings of British sitcoms I have never seen and will never see. I have seen or at least know a little about most of the American shows and that is what I wanted to read about. I did have a problem with the fact that some TV classics weren't even included.The Jeffersons, anyone? And also, again going back to British shows, the authors talk about the shows that turned into Sanford and Son and Three's Company (plus its spinoffs The Ropers and Three's A Crowd), but just briefly instead of devoting entire paragraphs to each show. Another thing I didn't like about the book was the number of errors: Kirsty McNichol (should have been Kristy McNichol), Sue Anne Nivens (should have been Sue Ann Nivens) and countless other misspellings, factual errors (Here's Lucy ended in 1974 and not 1972 and was not a simple name change of The Lucy Show; it was a totally different show) and mistakes. The pictures were nice, as I said, and the book did include some of my favorite sitcoms, but otherwise wasn't the greatest read.
