TV Credits Rolling

So, I've decided to look a little deeper into the world of writing. To start, I'm looking at the writers of those sitcoms we love. People always know the actors and actresses, and maybe they even know who the director and producer are, but rarely do the writers get credit.


My favorite shows and their writers (thanks to help from imdb.com):


Friends
Fav episode: The one where everyone finds out (Season 5, Episode 14)
Writers: David Crane, Marta Kauffman, Alexa Junga

A Different World
Main Writer: Bill Cosby

Seinfeld
Main Writers: Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld

Glee
Main Writers: Ian Brennan, Brad Falchuk, Ryan Murphy

My Wife & Kids
Main Writers: Don Reo & Damon Wayans


Phineas & Ferb
Main Writers: Dan Povenmire, Jeff Marsh

Living Single
Main Writers: Robert Horn, Daniel Margosis

The Cosby Show
Main Writer: Bill Cosby

The Simpsons (pre-Season 4)
Main Writers: James L Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon

Gilmore Girls
Main Writer: Amy Sherman

Coupling (British)

Caroline in the City (ya''ll remember this one?)
Main Writers: Fred Barron & Marco Pennette


Anyhow, you guys get the picture. There are some great shows out there. So when you find one, don't just look for the producer name, look to see who writes the script. They are the ones that make it funny!
