In this exciting new book series, you are whisked back in time to the production offices, writers’ conferences, and sound stages for the making of this iconic series. Included are hundreds of memos between creator\/producer Irwin Allen and his staff; production schedules; budgets; fan letters; more than 500 rare behind-the-scene images in each volume; and the TV ratings for every episode. In Volume 1, author Marc Cushman documented Irwin Allen's early career – a true rags-to-riches story, as Allen ventured from a humble beginning in the Bronx to his later incarnations in Hollywood as an entertainment journalist, radio and television host, and a literary agent – all before becoming a successful motion picture producer and director. After winning an Academy Award in 1954, Allen entered the fantasy genre with films such as The Lost World and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. He then rolled the dice again with a move into television, creating and producing Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea for the fall of 1964 and, one year later, Lost in Space. In Volume 2, the story continues with Lost in Space's second season and a switch to color. But it has a tough new rival in space – NBC-TV's Star Trek. On Wednesday nights opposite Space, the red-hot Batman provides formidable competition in the ratings game. Paradoxically, CBS seems intent on sabotaging Allen, pressuring him to make the series more cheaply and change it from science fiction, action\/adventure to camp\/fantasy. In Volume 3, the story continues. The ratings continue to be strong, and many of the episodes are returning to the 'serious' format of the early first season. An order is placed by the network for a fourth season, and scripts are being written ... but that fourth year would never be realized. Now, after nearly 50 years, the reasons for the sudden end of this iconic series that pre-dated Star Trek are revealed. But there is much more. Travel along with the Robinson family -- the stars of Lost in Space who truly had become as a family to one another -- through the reunions, the conventions, the efforts by Irwin Allen to make a big-screen big-budget feature film with his stars, then a pilot for CBS, then one for NBC, and, finally, on the doorsteps of the new Netflix series due in early 2018. This story didn't end in 1968 when the original series went out of production. The space Family Robinson did make it home, and they are here to tell you their story. Remarkably, the most dangerous monsters of Lost in Space lurked behind the scenes … and wore business suits. The story of the making of the classic Lost in Space is rich with conflict, drama and surprises. And now you can be there to see it unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience Fiction \u0026amp; Fantasy\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFantasy\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Criticism\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Jacob Brown Media Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45261596491966,"sku":"0692814264-3","price":10.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51n22Gsn0vL._SL500.jpg?v=1754079727"},{"product_id":"1419700596","title":"The Oprah Winfrey Show: Reflections on an American Legacy","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Oprah Winfrey Show\u003c\/i\u003e came to an end on May 25, 2011, after 25 years on television.

You have seen Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Hyde Park. You have ridden in one of London’s famous black cabs and encountered the Beef-eaters at the Tower of London and the ravens under their care. You have taken the Jack the Ripper tour and walked those bloody footsteps in East London. This should be enough for anyone—but, perhaps, not enough for you. You’ve decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the city to stretch your legs in the bucolic countryside of these green and pleasant lands.\\\u003cbr\u003eYou’ve read the books and watched the shows. You know what to expect: You’ll drink a pint in the sunny courtyard of a local pub. You’ll wander down charming alleyways between stone cottages. Residents will tip their flatcaps at you as they bicycle along cobblestone streets. It will be idyllic.\\\u003cbr\u003eThe author respectfully suggests you put aside these fantasies. It is possible that you will find yourself in a placid and tedious little corner of England; it is just as possible that you will end up in an English Murder Village. You will not know you are in a Murder Village, as they look like all other villages. When you arrive in Shrimpling or Pickles-in-the-Woods or Wombat-on-Sea or wherever it is, there will be no immediate signs of danger. This is exactly the problem.

Photos throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003eIn the wake of James Cameron's Titanic (14 Academy nominations, 11 Oscars, a billion-dollar worldwide box office), Parisi traces the development of project \"Big Boat\" from inception to conclusion in a tribute to \"the man who did more than any other to revolutionize the look of film as we enter the new millennium.\" Written in a breezy, reportorial style, the book details the execution of Cameron's vision of Titanic \"as a kind of living history.\" Cameron's notorious perfectionism prompted the building of a 750-foot replica of the Titanic and the building of Cameron's own film studio in Mexico. Called the 100 Day Studio, it was the first built by one of the Hollywood majors since the 1930s. Taking responsibility for his excesses, Cameron (in an unprecedented move) reassigned his profit-sharing back to Twentieth Century-Fox. Surpassing Waterworld's gigantic budget, Titanic became the most expensive movie ever made. Staffers wore T-shirts proclaiming: \"You Can't Scare Me I Work for James Cameron.\" But Mr. Action King pulled it off. At the cost of $1 million per minute, Titanic became the highest-grossing film ever in the U.S., exceeding Star Wars. There is an old-fashioned feel to the story of the making of Titanic, and Parisi's lively portrayal recalls the egomaniacal geniuses of yore, particularly D.W. Griffith, whose daring innovations founded the movies as an art form by 1912. Is Cameron the D.W. Griffith of the 21st century?

With total honesty and riotous humor, Mick Foley shines a spotlight into some of the hidden corners of the World Wrestling Federation. From the ongoing controversy surrounding \"backyard wrestling\" to the real story behind his now-infamous \"I Quit\" match with The Rock, Foley covers all the bases in this hysterically funny roller-coaster ride of a memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e VOYA \u003cp\u003eDebuting at number one on the New York Times nonfiction best-seller list, this sequel to Have a Nice Day (Regan, 1999\/VOYA February 2000) covers the end of Foley's active career as a professional wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Foley writes about the price he paid, especially physically, to reach the pinnacle of his profession and discusses his surprising success as an author. Although laced with humor, much of it quite raunchy, the book tells an often-sad story as Foley realizes that his body is breaking down and as he fears becoming a joke and a liability. The writing is in-depth about particular matches, including the infamous \"I Quit\" match featured in the 1999 documentary film Beyond the Mat, and about his relationship with WWF owner Vince McMahon. The book covers other passions in Foley's life: amusement parks, his friends, and his family. Sex references are heavy and often gratuitous. Sex and violence are the calling cards of the new WWF, leading to much condemnation of the product by critics. Foley, in a lengthy and often quite amusing rebuttal, answers the criticism, particularly those of the Parent's Television Council. As a public service, Foley lays down the law to kids participating in backyard wrestling. This book is essential reading for the falling number of WWF fans. Parents of younger fans might be shocked by some of the content, but most teen readers are sure to be entertained by the continuing saga of wrestling's hardcore legend. Photos. Source Notes.

Why do so many entertainers do so much better financially than peers who have comparable resumes? Author Donald Jeffries also examines a subject he is quite familiar with; the myriad of unnatural deaths which have plagued the entertainment industry since the dawn of Hollywood. The deaths of John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, and many others are scrutinized in exacting detail. Jeffries communicated with many older entertainers during the course of researching the book, and their perspectives are included here. On Borrowed Fame will be of great interest to fans, celebrities, and anyone with even a cursory affinity for the world of show business. If you're anything like me, and have a hard time not looking at the car crash as you drive by: You will love this book.

The book showed me how very lucky I've been, pursuing my passions; Acting, Class A Speedway Racing and Inventing.- Billy Gray, Father Knows Best, The Day the Earth Stood StillDonald Jeffries' On Borrowed Fame is indeed a revelatory and painful experience. It paints the big picture of the price of Fame in Hollywood. One that mercilessly illustrates through fact and story the real price paid by many of my colleagues and myself. Fame is not a blessing, it's a curse. This book is a witness to the carnage and horrible truth of the matter. Fame is not what it appears to be on the outside. Fame is a glamorous car wreck. Fame sucks. This is an important book that tells us all as fellow human beings that attention must be paid. I congratulate Mr. Jeffries for having had the courage to write it.- Nick Mancuso, Paris 2020\"It's possible to be a musician in the biggest band imaginable, and within a few years be forced to work a regular job.\" That ominous statement is echoed throughout Donald Jeffries' whirlwind of woe in the world of entertainment, On Borrowed Time. Those household name actors in your favourite TV shows you assumed were well paid and would surely always have a firm foothold in show business? Not so much it turns out, as stated here: \"A regular on a television series is at least as likely to have their acting career end when their show does.\" The arbitrary payment structures that seem to have been made up on the spot, the blatant rip offs and the sheer number of early and often suspicious Hollywood deaths that were rarely investigated would make anyone think twice about being an actor.

In Tom Stoppard’s best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but do so in a world where echoes of Waiting for Godot resound, where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads our two heroes to a tragic but inevitable end.\u003cbr\u003eTom Stoppard was catapulted into the front ranks of modem playwrights overnight when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead opened in London in 1967. Its subsequent run in New York brought it the same enthusiastic acclaim, and the play has since been performed numerous times in the major theatrical centers of the world. It has won top honors for play and playwright in a poll of London Theater critics, and in its printed form it was chosen one of the Notable Books of 1967” by the American Library Association.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumor \u0026amp; Entertainment\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelevision\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eScreenwriting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":47066420183230,"sku":"0802132758-4","price":3.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/91-1yzp3OUL.jpg?v=1778612830"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/collections\/books-humor-entertainment-television.oembed?page=4","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
