The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Book Jerry Seinfeld ISBN: 9781982112769 A celebration of and behind-the-scenes look at Jerry Seinfeld’s groundbreaking streaming series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Over eleven seasons and eighty-four episodes, Jerry Seinfeld drove around in classic cars, grabbing coffee and chatting with the funniest people alive. He reminisced with the late Garry Shandling; bantered with legends Steve Martin, Tina Fey, and Eddie Murphy; reunited with the cast of Seinfeld; and even paid a visit to President Barack Obama in the Oval Office. These and dozens of other guests talked about the intricacies of stand-up, the evolution of their careers and personal lives, and whatever else popped into their brilliant minds. The result was not only a hilarious collection of casual yet intimate conversations—a rare opportunity for viewers to witness their favorite performers unscripted and unvarnished—but arguably the most important historical archive about the art of comedy ever amassed. Now that archive is preserved in the form of a gorgeously designed and carefully curated book. Seinfeld has hand-picked the show’s keenest insights and funniest exchanges. Also included is a fascinating oral history featuring interviews with dozens of crew members, executives, guests, and Seinfeld himself that details how this scrappy creative experiment landed unprecedented access to the White House, earned multiple Emmy nominations, and helped lead the streaming revolution. Featuring a newly written introduction by Seinfeld and filled with beautiful never-before-seen production photos, this book is essential reading for comedy lovers, car aficionados, coffee connoisseurs, and Jerry Seinfeld fans.

I'd also mention "Middleman". I think "Terriers" was hampered by its title. People probably thought it was about dogs.

It's just coincidence that that "type" is Aryan.

Since the commercials have beat Flo to death, I wouldn't mind one with her funeral.

Tonite on ZLiving they are showing an interesting "Route 66" episode "A Fury Slinging Flame." Very much a capsule of the concerns of the very early 60s (epi ran on 30 Dec 1960), the plot has Leslie Nielsen as a scientist who believes he'd deciphered clues from a Russian scientist that the Russians are planning a surprise nuclear attack on the US. Nielsen and a group of his followers are hiding in Carlsbad Caverns to survive the supposed Armageddon. Buz and Tod have to help solve the problem.

The Mother of All Degrassi: A Memoir Linda Schuyler ISBN: 9781770416833 When a young schoolteacher decides to teach her Grade 8 class about filmmaking and creates a documentary that ends up being broadcast internationally, she sets in motion a career of storytelling for an age group largely ignored by TV executives … and creates one of the most-loved television franchises of all time Includes fabulous behind-the-scenes photos and stories for Degrassi fans Linda Schuyler, co-creator and executive producer of the long-running Degrassi series, shares her personal stories about the grit and determination necessary to make it as a woman entrepreneur in the bourgeoning independent Canadian television industry of the early 1980s. After surviving a near-fatal car accident in 1968, Linda found her life continuing to veer in unexpected directions, ultimately leading her to use her innate abilities as an educator to become a successful storyteller and businesswoman. Linda’s deep fondness for teenagers has made her a champion for adolescents. In The Mother of All Degrassi, she shares her strong belief that television is all about the story, and a good story is all about making the political personal. Through anecdotes and introspection ― and some great behind-the-scenes stories for Degrassi fans ― Linda examines her philosophy to dream big, think small, meet life head-on, and always keep an open heart.

I would recommend "Terriers" to anyone.

They had 18 episodes which is similar to other shows at that time, "Terriers", "Brisco County Jr.", "Firefly" were also good one-season shows,

I remember when they premiered. They both premiered the same year. I always preferred "The Addams Family", but "The Munsters" had those great hot rods (I build a model of grandpa's Dragula). Also recall later, on the show "Square Pegs", they referred to the Munsters/Addams family debate. I think the nerds preferred "The Munsters."

Eternal debate: Munsters vs. The Addams Family, Discuss:

But is testicles didn't descend until he was 15.

The latest two episodes were even more bizarre. Definitely a unique show.

Yes, they are turning the show into "Old Meemaw"

MeTV is running an "Andy Griffith" binge today (Sunday) with a Mayberry-themed "Collectors Call", followed by two "MASH" episodes featuring Mayberry actors, then "Return to Mayberry." I recall watching "Return" but have no memory whether it was worthwhile or not.

Ernie in Kovacsland: Writings, Drawings, and Photographs from Television's Original Genius by Ernie Kovacs ISBN: 9781683966678 In celebration of this cockeyed genius and his prolific creative output, Fantagraphics presents a career retrospective of Ernie Kovacs featuring never-before-seen material from Kovacs's archive. Best known for his wildly imaginative, gleefully absurdist television show in the 1950s, Ernie Kovacs (1919 – 1962) was also a notorious illustrator, novelist, essayist, newspaper columnist, and poet. In celebration of this cockeyed genius and his prolific creative output, Fantagraphics presents a career retrospective featuring never-before-seen photos from Kovacs's archive; excerpts of his magazine articles, columns and books, hand-notated TV scripts: a smattering of his "illustrated profuselies," the wacky improvisational sketches he drew on air; and more. Curated by Josh Mills (son of Edie Adams, Kovacs's wife and a performer on his show), Edie/Ernie archivist Ben Model, and counterculture historian Pat Thomas, the book offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a pioneering comedian. Kovacs inspired countless comedians, musicians, humorists, and writers in the latter half of the 20th century and beyond. He is cited as a direct influence by the creators and stars of such innovative comedy series as Saturday Night Live, Monty Python, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. An award in his name has been granted to uproarious humorists like Amy Sedaris (Strangers with Candy) and Harry Shearer (This is Spinal Tap). A true visionary, Kovacs's iconoclastic approach has forever made its mark on the world of comedy.

I was hoping after the Limu Emu ran away at the end of the speed radar ad he wouldn't come back.

It comes off, to me, as "A very special 'Young Sheldon.'" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_special_episode I always hated those episodes.

I really don't care for this whole storyline. And what happened to the casino storyline? I suspected there would never be a payoff to that.

This isn't new. I can remember many 50s and 60s sitcoms with the episode where men have to do housework and destroy everything instead. Often its the clothes washer pouring a tsunami of suds across the room and obviously they burn anything they try to cook..

"Casino Royale" hewed closer to the original book (the chair scene is right from the Fleming story). My favorite (like a lot of old-time Bond fans) is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," (despite Lazenby) but "From Russia with Love" is a close second. At the time, I really loved "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball," but today I see those as pushing the movies in the wrong direction. "Diamonds are Forever" is very much in the Roger Moore feel, despite having Sean Connery.
