A powerful, behind-the-scenes look at some of America's all-time
favorite television programs during their darkest hours, this study
examines how various hit series have absorbed the death of a lead
actor during production. Although each television program
eventually resumed production, the lead actor's death in each case
had a profound impact on the surviving cast and crew and the future
of the show itself.Individual chapters explore the events
surrounding the deaths of Freddie Prinze (""Chico and the Man""),
John Ritter (""8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter""),
Redd Foxx (""The Royal Family""), Nicholas Colasanto (""Cheers""),
Phil Hartman (""NewsRadio""), and many others. Their stories are
told through first-hand accounts by those who knew them best,
including many of the most talented actors, producers, writers, and
directors in television over the past forty years.
