The showrunners

the long version

"The Showrunners is the ultimate channel-surf through one tumultuous television season as seen by those who know the industry best - the creative "geniuses" who, for better and worse, make TV what it is today."--BOOK JACKET. "With candid and revealing interviews and vivid, behind-the-scenes drama, longtime Rolling Stone Journalist and New York Times bestselling author David Wild demonstrates that today's real TV stars aren't the high-profile actors but rather the select few writers and producers identified by the networks as bankable televisionaries. Wild offers a riotous, informative guided tour through that TV twilight zone where art and commerce meet, and often butt heads, in an increasingly Darwinian marketplace."--BOOK JACKET.
