The Other Bob Crane Show

TVC 499.3: Carol Ford and Linda Groundwater, two of the co-authors of Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography, discuss the convoluted history of The Bob Crane Show (NBC, 1975), the ill-fated sitcom that failed to last beyond its thirteen-episode order partly for reasons beyond Crane's control (and partly because of his own undoing), and how Crane was just beginning to grow as an actor at the time of his murder on June 29, 1978.

Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography includes first-hand insight from more than two hundred people who knew Bob Crane personally and better than most: family members; his friends from Connecticut, including many who knew him as far back as grade school; his colleagues from TV, the theatre, the movies, and, above all, radio; and the addiction counselor whose help Crane sought in an effort to overcome his addiction, in the weeks before he was killed.
