Abstract

The Television Academy Foundation’s The Interviews: An Oral History of Television is the television industry’s premier oral history collection, featuring over nine hundred conversations with key figures in professions in front of and behind the camera. The interviews provide first-hand accounts of those working within the TV industry, serving as valuable primary texts for scholarly engagement. This issue contains edited excerpts from ten interviews in the collection, a cross-section of voices in professional specialties across a spectrum of television genres and eras, races and ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and ages. The stories are presented as varied personal viewpoints of those working within one industry, and in some cases, within one television program, often experiencing the same reality very differently. Abridged conversations with James Burrows, Kevin Eubanks, Ellen Holly, Gwen Ifill, Sonia Manzano, Jonathan Murray, Agnes Nixon, Dick Smith, Darren Star, and Leslie Uggams are included.
