Veteran TV writer-producer Cy Chermak’s book The
Show Runner was published by my company, Jacobs/Brown Press, on August
1, 2017.
Chermak worked
on such classic shows as The Virginian, Barbary
Coast,
CHiPs, Ironside, and The
Night Stalker.
This
book is not only a fascinating explication of the process of television
production beginning in the 1960s and forward, it’s also filled with personal
observations from Cy’s wonderfully acerbic memories.
When he talks about scoring TV episodes, or scouting locations, for instance,
he ties these tasks to his own experiences. You’ll have fun discovering what he
thinks about some of his past projects, stars, and production staff.
Cy’s sense of humor shines throughout, as he pokes fun at his younger self, too. If you want a fun yet fact-filled romp through some of TV’s golden (and not-so-golden) times, then read Cy’s book.
TRUTH IN REVIEWING: As one of this book’s editors, I was thrilled to be one of the first to read it. You’ll have fun!
