Summary
  • "In their 1983 book The Producer's Medium authors Robert Alley and Horace Newcomb made the point that "There are, to our regret, no women and no minority members in this book because the structure of the television industry, like the structure of American society, has been dominated by white males," But in that year Producer Marcy Carsey was focused upon selling the new "Cosby Show," which premiered in 1984, to NBC and its president, Grant Tinker.".
  • "The focus of Women Television Producers is upon a new cadre of women producers, who, as a result of rulings by the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission in the early seventies, found employment in the three major networks beginning in 1971-72. In the following decade many of them emerged as television producers and writers."--BOOK JACKET.
