Description: "Emmy Award winner Bruce Vilanch is known as a go-to comedy writer for award shows, sitcoms, and top-heavy variety specials, but he has also been responsible for quite a few of the worst shows ever made-legendarily bad productions. From The Star Wars Holiday Special to Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White at the Oscars, Vilanch reveals how he helped create some of the worst moments in television-and beyond"--
Review Quotes: "It's often been said you learn a lot more from failure than you ever do from success, and in master comedy writer Bruce Vilanch's hilarious new book, It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time, he has created a screamingly funny encyclopedia of show business failure that takes the joy of schadenfreude to new heights. A laugh-out-loud autopsy of fiascos from television to film to Broadway, all told with Bruce's impeccable wit and huge heart, from The Paul Lynde Halloween Special to The Ice Pirates, it must be read to be believed. And despite the subject matter this deeply funny debacle chronicle proves to be an unqualified hit." --NATHAN LANE
