i finally ordered this off amazon, after years of hemming and hawing if i should make the purchase. so far, what an incredible treat. F&G was and still is one of my favorite television shows, and this book of scripts is like the cherry on a very great (but canceled) sundae.

An amazing tv series and even more fun to read. The short essays about the writing process bring a lot of insight.

The best show ever. These scripts make me love the show even more! It is too hilarious. I would have loved more extras though!
