1994140620Burbank CA: Fox Broadcasting Company / Warner Brothers Television / Sweet Freedom Productions / Main Sequence Productions 1994. Archive of original scripts for all 27 episodes of "The George Carlin Show" which ran on Fox for two seasons in 1994 and 1995 with multiple drafts of each episode totaling 196 scripts. Also included are several key pieces of ephemera relating to the development and writing of the show. Altogether a thoroughly comprehensive and researchable archive detailing a writing process that attempted to digest and reconstruct the persona of one of the most iconoclastic and influential not to mention foul mouthed standup comics for mainstream viewing. From the estate of series co-creator Sam Simon. <br/><br/>One of the most important and influential television producers and directors of the last 30 years Sam Simon is best known along with Matt Groening and James L.

Carlin played New York cabbie George O'Grady who when not haranguing fares spent most of his time at a bar modeled on Carlin's real life Morningside Heights haunt haranguing his fellow patrons which characteristically of the post-"Seinfeld" boom in sitcoms created around standup comics allowed the writers to incorporate elements of Carlin's stage routines into the show. In his posthumously published autobiography "Last Words" Carlin said of the show "I had a great time. I never laughed so much so often so hard as I did with the cast members" but did not get along with co-creator Simon a view Simon attributed in an interview to the show's "cancellation affecting George's attitude towards the work in retrospect" and he considered the show "a very special period of my life."<br/><br/>The majority of scripts are housed in 27 generic black ring binders with one binder per episode each containing between three and nine scripts.
