Book review - "Top of the Rock: Inside the Rise and Fall of Must See TV" by Warren Littlefield (2012)

Want proof rich people in Hollywood are addicted to rags to riches narrative? Every second person in this book was starving/broke/down and out before rallying to a comeback. NBC was down and out in the 90s apparently - er, apart from Cheers. Still there's some interesting stories here about the inceptions of mega hits - Cosby Show, Cheers, Frasier, Friends, Seinfelf, Will and Grace, Mad About You, ER. Lots of love for Jim Burrows.  Lots of whining - money, time slots.
