Classic TV (The 21st Century Guides Series)
Description:
Feuding families, cunning cowboys, clumsy waiters, lunching ladies - they've all helped to shape the face of TV. "Classic TV", produced as part of the "21st Century Guides" series, finds out what turns them from mere sitcom stars into classic icons: the chemistry, the casting, the scripts or in some cases the uncanny coincidences that helped them shine brighter than the rest. "Classic TV" includes: Whose quixotic TV life inspired the 1999 film, "Man on the Moon", following a stint in a US taxi rank? Which 'unknown stuntman made Redford such a star'? Who is the only actor to appear in all 357 episodes of "Dallas"? Which three former Beatles and one member of The Who made guest appearances on "The Simpsons"? How much did Carrie's last dress in "Sex and the City" cost - and what were the show's fitting last words?
