However, with the demise of the show, Long was faced with the question, 'Is there life after \u003ci\u003eCheers\u003c\/i\u003e?' Mercilessly witty about the daunting process of setting up a new series and getting it on air, these two books tell the absurd tale of what came next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Getting from pitch to pilot is a tricky path to navigate successfully, from making non-negotiable changes and deal-breaking edits, combined with accommodating the whims of studios, networks and agents, often the finished product ends up a long way from where the script-writer started. With the help of his agent, her constant demands, monstrous salesmanship, brutal irony and unswerving loyalty, Long's career fluctuates from wannabe to player, from award-winning script-writer to burnt out has-been.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  And it's all, as he says 'half true'.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138074689776,"sku":"9781408855836","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408855836_p0.jpg?v=1763720535","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408855836","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
