Everything you need to know is there....So, if you want to know more about Showrunners, or if you have an idea and you're determined to be- come the next David Kelley or Terence Winter or Vince Gilligan, I recommend you get a copy of Cy's book.

     "Cy Chermak has written a book that should become required reading in all film schools, especially for courses focused on TV production. General readers not likely to ever stand on a production stage will also find the book illuminating as it’s all about how TV shows are made and demonstrates just what a “showrunner” is in the industry. ...
... heart, humor, or human interest.   It has all three, and on nearly every page. It’s not like other books that discuss what a producer is without having a personal touch. It’s a fast read that retains interest by taking readers behind the scenes of TV production from a very knowledgeable insider’s perspective. Again, this is a book that’s not just for future showrunners. It’s for anyone who likes to go behind-the-scenes of TV production. "

"The Show Runner is an obvious recommendation for students of television history and a suggested selection for film studies coursework....Cy Chermak–TV executive producer, producer, story editor, and writer [offers]  a step-by-step narrative providing an insider’s view of show process and studio politics in his new book The Show Runner: An Insider’s Guide to Successful TV Production."

C. J. Brunce, Editor borg.com

“His stories are wonderful, insightful, humorous, and full of vital knowledge for anyone who hopes to produce a series. He goes into the real nuts-and-bolts, from how to craft a television story, creatively and to fit a production budget, to how to watch dailies, pick locations, deal with actors, manage your time, and work with studio executives. This is a highly-entertaining, information-packed, must-read for students of both television history and production. I wish I'd been able to read this book before I ran my first show...it would have saved me a lot of pain.”   Lee Goldberg   #1 New York Times bestselling author and the show runner of Diagnosis Murder, Martial Law, and Missing, among others.

“Like the classic TV shows for which he’s best-known (The Virginian, Ironside, CHiPs), writer/producer Cy Chermak’s memoir is ‘honest… real… believable.’  That’s how he explains the directions of his productions… and that’s how he tells the story of his life.  In the best sense of those words, and with the best words that make sense, The Show Runner:  An Insider’s Guide to Successful TV Production is nothing less than a top-notch true-to-life tale of behind-the-scenes comings and goings… told with humor, credibility, and class.” 
Herbie J Pilato, writer/producer/performer
