Preface Jessica Fletcher (Murder, She Wrote) would say, “I know who the murderer is, now to prove it!” All in the Family shows Archie Bunker as a dock foreman for the Prendergast Tool and Dye Company. The Mockingbird Heights address, 1313 Mockingbird Lane, is home to the Munster Family (The Munsters). Max Black (2 Broke Girls) sleeps with 27 garden gnomes under her bed while Dallas Royce (Suburgatory) insists that her coats “be lined with eye lashes from ponies.” But of all the television facts presented in this book, Jack Webb, as Sgt. Joe Friday from the series Dragnet, said it best—​“Just the facts.” The Television Treasury contains over 25,000 trivia facts from 2,498 series broadcast from December 27, 1947, through December 31, 2019. This is not a quiz book of any kind, nor is it a book of discussions, opinions, or essays on TV programs; it is a new volume of t­ rivia-esque facts presented on both American and foreign TV series broadcast in the U.S. From w ­ ell-known series (e.g., I Love Lucy, Married… with Children and Will and Grace) to extremely rare series (e.g., A Date with Judy, My Friend Irma and My Son Jeep), it is the most ­in-depth trivia publication of its kind. Information has been compiled from the episodes of the programs represented and is presented in a straight forward, ­easy-to-read format; it encompasses 29 topics with each series in each topic presented in alphabetical order. Every entry includes the series title, year and related trivia. All trivia is very specific and excludes anything without an exact factual reference. For example, under the topic “Jobs,” only those characters with a specific title are included. Specific information such as Ralph Kramden (The Honeymooners) is a bus driver

for the Gotham Bus Company in Manhattan will appear but generic information, such as that Ralph Kramden is a bus driver, will not. In “Schools,” as another example, the simple fact that Vinnie Barbarino (Welcome Back, Kotter) is a high school student will not appear; rather, the entry will identify Vinnie Barbarino as a student at James Buchanan High School in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York. Since each topic presents specific information, many TV programs appear in several topics (e.g., The Big Bang Theory appears in “Addresses,” “Food and Drink,” “Jobs,” “Movie and TV Favorites” and “Quirks”). The index organizes all information by program and the page numbers on which that program appears. Reality shows, pilot films, TV movies, soap operas and daytime and Saturday morning cartoon series have been excluded from this volume. Thousands of varied facts fill this volume. Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) lives at 2890 West 20th Street, Washington, D.C.; Daisy Duke (The Dukes of Hazzard) won “Best ­All-Around Gal in Three Counties” at the Miss T ­ ri-County Beauty Pageant; Gil Grissom (C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation) enjoys insect (roach) racing; Monica Geller (Friends) had an invisible friend named Jarrod as a child; Robert Barone (Everybody Loves Raymond) touches his food to his chin before eating it. From Howdy Doody, which began broadcasting in 1947, to Batwoman in 2019, The Television Treasury is the ultimate television trivia book—​ “No brag, just fact” (as Will Sonnett would say on The Guns of Will Sonnett). The author would like to thank James Robert Parish, Steve Eberly and Alana Castro for their help in making this book possible.
