Truth Is Always Funnier Than Fiction,

This review is from: A Martian Wouldn't Say That (Paperback)
This book is pure GENIUS! As a producer who's gotten my share of network notes I can totally relate to the stupidity these other producers had to deal with over the years. The notes are a great glimpse at a long-gone era of classic television when the writers and producers were brilliant and the network executives were...well read it and you can form your own opinion. You can read the entire book in no time but it's worth owning because it gets funnier and funnier whenever you read it. An especially great gift for any television writer or producer...or network executive with a genuine sense of humor.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: A Martian Wouldn't Say That (Paperback)
If you love behind-the-scenes stories from old-school Hollywood-TV than this is the book for you. A very telling, funny and somewhat pathetic look at TV's so-called movers and shakers during TV's salad days.

This review is from: A Martian Wouldn't Say That (Paperback)
Having worked in film development and as a producer, I've heard it all. But the collection of memos that are included in "A Martian Wouldn't Say That" tops the cake. You have to have a sense of humor in this business. I recommend this little ditty for those writers, producers and development execs who think they've experienced every quirky comment that's come down the pike - but let's face it - we all know A Martian Wouldn't Say That! ;)
