- Hi Kim! I really had fun with this Lens because I knew a lot of guys (and girls) who worked on these shows - and back then I was trying to write for a lot of them. I'm new to Squidoo and a little unsure of mentioning this, but you seem to have an affection for the classic sitcoms - and this is how I earned my living for four decades. Anyway, I really do think you might enjoy my serialized lens, Confessions of a TV Comedy Writer.
Thanks for the memories,
Ted
And - I honestly, sincerely apologize if you consider this Spam. Please let me know.
