Once upon a time ABC-TV’s Moonlighting was among the most
buzzed-about shows in the country, thanks largely to the bravado of
creator Glenn Gordon Caron, who never met a television convention
he didn’t want to break, and the sizzling on-screen chemistry
between glamorous erstwhile film star Cybill Shepherd and a New
Jersey bartender nobody had ever heard of before named Bruce
Willis, who bickered and flirted ceaselessly on screen and engaged
in epic off-screen battles that all these years later remain the
stuff of Hollywood legend. This combustible blend of creative
brilliance produced some of the most acclaimed, audacious,
and innovative programming of the eighties, including a
black and white tribute to film noir, with an introduction by Orson
Welles; a parody of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew,
written in iambic pentameter; an homage to The Honeymooners; and
countless metafictive episodes breaking through the fourth wall —
almost unheard of at the time for hourlong comedy-dramas. Without a
doubt, Moonlighting helped pave the way for the era of prestige
television we are now all enjoying. The real story of this
pioneering television series and the extraordinary
behind-the-scenes challenges, battles, and rewards has never been
told — until now, Author Scott Ryan (The Last Days of
Letterman, thirtysomething at thirty: an oral history, The Blue
Rose, Scott Luck Stories) conducted over twenty interviews with the
actors, writers, directors, and producers who made Moonlighting
such a dynamic, unforgettable show, delving deep into their
thoughts and feelings as they relive this magical moment in pop
culture history in this full color oral history. New

participants had never given interviews before. The writers,

look at what it was like to work on these shows. Find out what it
takes to write a Top Ten list, book a president for a guest spot,

references—Amy Sherman-Palladino's singular TV voice has won her
legions of fans and critical appreciation over the past two
decades, thanks to shows like "Gilmore Girls," "Bunheads," and "The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." Sherman-Palladino—the first woman ever to
win Emmy Awards for both comedy writing and directing in a single
year—may write about different decades and milieus, but her

"Midge" Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan). In The Women of Amy
Sherman-Palladino, writers from different walks of life—scholars,
critics, writers, comedians, dancers—take us on a journey through
the worlds of these characters, and how they have influenced their
own lives. This is the second book in "The Women of" series, after
The Women of David Lynch, published in June 2019. This unique
series, covers great female characters in television and film.

Ayn Rand presented Objectivism as a philosophy of reason. But is
it? That is the question Scott Ryan seeks to answer in this careful
examination of the Objectivist epistemology and its alleged
sufficiency as the philosophical foundation of a free and
prosperous commonwealth. Sorting painstakingly through Rand's
writings on the subject, Mr. Ryan concludes that the epistemology
of Objectivism is incoherent and debases both the concept and the
practice of rationality.
“I was a writer before I knew what a writer was.” —Joseph
Dougherty Joseph Dougherty has been a successful playwright and
television writer, producer, and director for more than thirty
years. He’s written for breakthrough series that have changed the
way we look at television drama, from thirtysomething to Pretty
Little Liars, winning everything from Emmys to Teen Choice Awards
along the way. Dougherty’s voice comes off the page with
anecdotes about the writing process, hard-learned tips for survival
in “the business,” and reflections on the influences that have
led him to a successful career. Honestly, entertainingly, without
cynicism, he gives readers permission to embrace the writer they
want to be, so they can experience the rewards and satisfactions of
writing. Beyond an insider’s take on story and structure,
dialogue, action and outlining, A Screenwriter’s Companion is as
much mentor as it is manual. With every insider observation about
how to keep a potential producer reading till the last page of a
script, there’s encouragement to explore your thoughts and
memories, things a writer needs to embrace in order to become more
than “a pro.”
