Product Details

Praise

Must-See TV—I remember very well when Warren and NBC coined that expression to describe what we were doing. This book will be Must-Read for many people who fondly recall that time.” —Jerry Seinfeld

“The first and last word on NBC’s . . . critically acclaimed and crucially profitable Thursday night lineup.”
   —The Wall Street Journal

“Fascinating anecdotes and tidbits . . . . There’s no denying the magic NBC conjured in the ’80s and ’90s.” —Variety

“Engrossing and lively . . . [Littlefield] enlists the voices of many of the actors and creative forces behind such hits as Seinfeld, Will & Grace, Cheers and ER to help him chronicle the glory days of ‘Must See TV.’”
    —The Chicago Sun-Times

“A chronicle of the last golden age of network television, [Top of the Rock] is the literary equivalent of a former NBC Thursday night lineup . . . . Littlefield is the ultimate Must See insider. The mini-histories are a blast . . . full of fresh detail.”
   —The Hollywood Reporter

“[An] essential oral history.”
   —Detriot Free Press

“Warren Littlefield has reminded us of what was possible not so long ago. . . . [recounting] his successful run at NBC and the inside stories of the shows that made it happen.”
   —TV Guide

“A fascinating oral history of shows like Seinfeld that defined an era.”
   —Daily News

“While the general public will likely focus on how Seinfeld got made and what made the cast of Friends tick, industry insiders will be looking for dirt, and there is no shortage of that.”
   —Los Angeles Times

“You are what your record says you are, and Littlefield’s record at NBC in the ’90s was tremendous.”
   —The Newark Star-Ledger

“With an entertaining insider’s perspective, Littlefield transports readers back to a seemingly magical time when half the country would watch the same show.”
   —Kirkus Reviews

“Littlefield unleashed a ‘financial geyser’ at NBC, and these revelatory glimpses of those glory days make this one of the more entertaining books published about the television industry.”
   —Publishers Weekly
