My parents got me Why? Because We Still Like You for Christmas 2010, and I enjoyed it so much that I've been following your career for the past 16 years. (It still blows my mind a little bit that I get to have actual interactions with you now!) I didn't realize that the behind-the-scenes of it were such a mess, but just know the book drew in at least one big fan for years to come.
Your interviews with the Canadian cast were my favorite part of So Fetch, so I'm really glad you included them, and I didn't even remember until you noted it that you didn't talk to the major cast members. It was still a great read.
I missed When Women Invented Television when it came out (pandemic; you know how it was), so I just read it this past year. My master's thesis was on children's television in Philadelphia from the 1940s to the 1960s, so we probably looked at some of the same archives, and I read a ton of books on TV history. I agree with you that it's your best, and most important, book. (I haven't read Parks yet; I will though!)
Aww, thank you, Brandi! This is tremendous. And I learned so much from WBWSLY! We all have to start somewhere. You are a real ride or die and I so appreciate it.
Well I love all your books but I have a special place in my heart for Seinfeldia and Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted cause those two were the first books I read of yours! ❤️
Good Lord, what a library of research and interviews and data - all in a library you wrote! Neat to read through your brief take on each book and I'm going to buy Parks and Rec this evening!!
This is so cool! Honored to have inspired this in any way, and always wowed to remember you've published nine books. And such a big fan of your #1 pick too!

Thank you! They were definitely both *very* good to me. (I view books like friends. Or children.)

Thank you! You’ve also given me a vague idea for putting together some kind of resource using all of my files, we’ll see …

Wow, what an impressive list, Jennifer! I'm going to seek out your #1 book...that would make a great Book Club pick...
Oh good, please tell me what you think! If you've got a book club, I'm game ...
