The Story Behind

An exclusive interview with series star Tim Allen takes fans back to the comedy’s hugely successful eight-season run, while the writers and directors weigh in on what made the show a TV powerhouse. In addition, cast and crew explain why the show almost didn’t make air and reveal what they really thought about Jonathon Taylor Thomas’ emotional early departure.

Before it created the Olsen Twins industry, before it gave us Jodie Sweetin’s first “How rude!,” this ‘80s sitcom went through one very important change—and now you can hear about it directly from John Posey, the actor originally cast as family patriarch Danny Tanner. Star Dave Coulier and creator Jeff Franklin serve up even more dish about the series’ improbable origins, along with highs and lows from its nearly decade-long run. Cut. It. Out!

Producers and the Stars of Beverly Hills 90210 give a first-hand account of the real story behind the show and how it was made.

With its wit, heart and inspired casting, Will & Grace developed a broad and well-deserved fan base, netting Emmys for its four biggest stars and transcending the perception that it was just a “gay show.” In The Story Behind, Megan Mullally discusses the evolution of Karen, and fellow cast members Shelley Morrison (Rosario) and Leslie Jordan (Beverley Leslie) share personal stories from the set. Former NBC exec Warren Littlefield and director James Burrows also weigh in on the creation and success of the show.
