Description: How do the trio of producers behind Friends keep America's most popular sitcom "must-see worthy"? What possessed renegade South Park creators to go where others fear to flush? By spending the last full TV season of the 20th century in the company of the writers and producers of America's most popular shows, bestselling author David Wild got the nitty gritty answers to these questions, and more. Updated and including new material on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire mania, this is an up close and personal look at the top of TV's creative food chain. A gripping, revealing, and riotous book, The Showrunners is a fascinating group portrait of what it really takes to make it in prime-time TV -- the Darwinian marketplace where art and commerce butt heads.
