“TV sitcoms were failing. People were writing about it: the Death of the Sitcom. That’s not something you want to hear when you’re writing sitcoms for a living. But the truth was, I agreed with them. Sitcoms, especially family sitcoms, were growing painfully predictable. Then this pilot presentation took my breath away. The jokes were funny, a minimally structured storytelling approach was employed, and the show had a masterful comic-actor genius in the lead role. On many levels, The Cosby Show, at least at its inception, offered a revolutionary way of doing a sitcom.” –Earl PomErantz, “Story of a WritEr” blog, 2008 SUMMER 20 12 WG A W Written By • 21
