Browse the world of 1950s sitcoms with or without a remote control in your hand.
Opinionated and hopefully entertaining, this book covers the biggest hits and a few misses from the dawn of the television sitcom. From I Love Lucy though The Many Love of Dobie Gillis, the era of the 50s sitcom is covered with many topics of interest and possibly even humor that are the perfect size for bite sized reading unless you feel a binge coming on and then just go crazy.
Desi Arnaz and his friends perfecting the three camera sitcom, Jackie Gleason creating a one season wonder in the Honeymooners after striking out as Riley, shows like Burns and Allen transported for better or worse over from radio, Father Knows Best as the first domestic sitcom, favorite Christmas show from the 1950s and much more.
Also a bonus history of the sitcom until the early 1970s because it was laying around and it doesn't cost anything to add digital pages!
