Welcome to a new Wildcard Wednesday! This week, as I’m gearing up for Friday’s official release of my first book, Great American Sitcoms of the 1950s, I want to again invite you to purchase it from me directly (here at this link) so that I can send you access to some relevant 1950s episodes that remain either hard to find and/or have never been commercially released. This material is not only funny, it’ll also aid your enjoyment of my book!

To those who have already purchased a copy from me, thank you! I have shipped all current pre-orders out and you should be receiving your book soon. Also in your shipment is a link (with password) to a Dropbox folder containing, as of now, seven episodes — one each from Burns And Allen, Trouble With Father, Amos ‘n Andy, Our Miss Brooks, Make Room For Daddy, The Bob Cummings Show, and The Ann Sothern Show. You’ll find out exactly what those episodes are when you receive the book, along with some more good news: I will be adding/rotating episodes into this folder, from a pool of about 20 series, over the next few months — which means, to anybody out there who hasn’t bought from me yet, you should act now so you don’t miss out!

And as a preview, here’s a clip from a funny Burns And Allen episode that I’ll be sharing.

Buy your book today (Amazon also has it) and come back next week for more 1950s sitcom fun!
