Well worth it. Recommended highly.

Much of this book isn't all that relevant to what I need from a TV book these days--it was mostly about 1) writing specs of existing shows, whereas I'm working on original pilots, and 2) what to expect/do if you do get a break, which hasn't happened for me yet--but Alex Epstein is always good for inspiration, encouragement, and frank talk about the TV business. I just wish he (and everybody else) would update to accommodate the switch to five-act structure in one-hour shows.

Very thorough. Very good. Comedy section was less helpful than I wanted, but it was still good to know some of the ins and outs of industry work and expectations.

He leido unos cuantos manuales de guión y este de televisión es uno de los que mas me ha gustado. Es divertido y original y muy actual. Tiene consejos y guías de todo tipo sobre el mundo de la televisión (aunque muchos se aplican al mercado americano).

Quizá otros libros que son más puramente manual no, pero este es uno de esos que un amante de las series puede disfrutar igualmente (creo yo.¡).

A little dated, but really solid intro to TV Writing. Would love to have him update the book.
