Barely out of film school, Rob Long struck the jackpot and landed a job on the phenomenally successful TV sitcom,
Cheers. However, with the demise of the show, Long was faced with the question, ”Is there life after
Cheers?” Mercilessly witty about the daunting process of setting up a new series and getting it on air, these two books tell the absurd tale of what came next.

And it”s all, as he says ”half true”.
