Jed. Laverne and Shirley. Cliff Huxtable. Throughout the entire history of American prime-time television only four sitcoms have been true blockbusters, with Nielsen ratings far above the second- and third-rated programs. Weekly, millions of Americans of every age were making a special effort to turn on the set to see what Archie, Jed, Laverne, and Cliff were doing that week. The wild popularity of these shows-- All in the Family , The Beverly Hillbillies , Laverne & Shirley (and its partner Happy Days ), and The Cosby Show --left commentators bewildered by the tastes and prefer 606 $aTelevision comedies$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTelevision comedies 676 $a791.45/617 700 $aStaiger$b Janet$0780887 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455689303321 996 $aBlockbuster TV$92441665 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06303nam 2200613Ia 450 001 9910455196703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-674-04456-8 024 7 $a10.4159/9780674044562 035 $a(CKB)1000000000805650 035 $a(StDuBDS)AH23050930 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000208612 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11189676 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000208612 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10243992 035 $a(PQKB)10932508 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3300719 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3300719 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10331305 035 $a(OCoLC)923116938 035 $a(DE-B1597)574312 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780674044562 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000805650 100 $a19941027d1995 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe natural history of alcoholism revisited$b[electronic resource] /$fGeorge E.

Appendix: 330 $aThis text, first published in 1983, examines various aspects of the problem of alcoholism. Vaillant's original study was based on an evaluation of more than 600 individuals followed for over 40 years. This updated version utilizes current knowledge to examine the same alcoholics 15 years on. 330 $bWhen The Natural History of Alcoholism was first published in 1983, it was acclaimed in the press as the single most important contribution to the literature on alcoholism since the first edition of Alcoholic Anonymous's Big Book. George Vaillant took on the crucial questions of whether alcoholism is a symptom or a disease, whether it is progressive, whether alcoholics differ from others before the onset of their alcoholism, and whether alcoholics can safely drink. Based on an evaluation of more than 600 individuals followed for over forty years, Vaillant's monumental study offered new and authoritative answers to all of these questions. In this updated version of his classic book Vaillant returns to the same subjects with the perspective gained from fifteen years of further follow-up. Alcoholics who had been studied to age 50 in the earlier book have now reached age 65 and beyond, and Vaillant reassesses what we know about alcoholism in light of both their experiences and the many new studies of the disease by other researchers. The result is a sharper focus on the nature and course of this devastating disorder as well as a sounder foundation for the assessment of various treatments. 606 $aAlcoholism 606 $aAlcoholism$vLongitudinal studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAlcoholism. 615 0$aAlcoholism 676 $a616.86/1 700 $aVaillant$b George E.$f1934-$096209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455196703321 996 $aThe natural history of alcoholism revisited$92057602 997 $aUNINA
