Billion-Dollar Kiss: The Kiss That Saved Dawson's Creek and Other Adventures in TV Writing by Jeffrey Stepakoff

3.0

Billion Dollar Kiss is Stepakoff's account of his career as a TV writer, starting from 1988, when he went to Hollywood, up through a couple of years ago. The subtitle has caused some dumbasses on Amazon to give it bad reviews because they bought it thinking it's a book all about Dawson's Creek. There's some material about Dawson's Creek because Stepakoff worked on the show for several years, but he also discusses his time on the writing staffs of Major Dad, Sisters, The Wonder Years and a couple of other shows that got canceled pretty fast. This book was an enlightening look at the economics behind the TV industry, especially in light of the recent WGA strike.
