THE TELEVISION SCRIPTS OF PHILIP RAPP
Philip Rapp

BearManor Media, 2007

Philip Rapp will remain immortal through his catty creation, The Bickersons, an insanely funny radio vignette that later emerged on TV and stage, and which influenced a generation of Honeymooners-loving viewers. But he was a far more prolific author than that. In late 1958, he pitched an idea for a series called Deputy Seraph, starring the ...

If you're not old enough to remember Falstaff on The Fred Allen Show, perhaps you recall Fred Flintstone from The Flintstones, that modern stoneage family.

Daws Butler, Characters Actor
Ben Ohmart, Joe Bevilacqua

Bearmanor Media, 2004

There Goes a Good Kid
Alright, I have to admit that I thoroughly under-appreciated this guy... but now I've got it right, thanks to the authors of this book. All I thought of Daws Butler was "great voice guy". Wrong! The title sets you straight right off. Here's a man that defined the ...

Hold That Joan: The Life, Laughs and Films of Joan Davis
Ben Ohmart

Bearmanor Media, 2006

Well Written But A Sad Story
Growing up in the 50's, it seemed that there was a cold war that took place primarily on television: Lucy vs. Joan Davis. Joan Davis' brand of comedy was wide and broad. She didn't as much hit the mark as she slapped it into oblivion. However, her physical comedy ...

The Smiling Girl on the Cardboard Moon: The Saga of Paulette Goddard
Ben Ohmart

Writers Club Press, 2000

Sloppy and superfluous
As a Goddard fan, I looked forward to some new insights into her life. But this book doesn't satisfy. It's mostly a rehash of the other information printed about her, with long, rambling paragraphs about people she associated with during her Hollywood days and after. ...
