Arthur L. Annecharico - Career

Career

The Arthur Company finished a £28,000,000 order for 271 half-hour sitcoms for Turner Broadcasting Systems, and also a $10,000,000 order for 24 episodes of the hour-long action adventure series, Airwolf.

Annecharico's syndicated sitcom, The Munsters Today (aka The New Munsters) after its initial pilot enjoyed three successful seasons from 1988 – 1991. The pilot episode bridged the gap between the original 1966 The Munsters series and the new Today show.

The show's second series was met with some criticism from Munster fans as Annecharico changed the format of the show's first season and the original series to bring the Munster family into the 1990s. While the show continued to base its original premise on the fact that the Munster family are unlike other people yet living a perfectly "normal" life, there were notable changes made.

Annecharico also produced 26 half-hour episodes of Dragnet, and Adam-12. He also produced the syndicated sitcom What a Dummy, which he co-created for Fox Television.

Among Annecharico's other credits are the theatrical features, Run For Blue, The Eagle and Grains of Sand. In network television, he is credited with The Deepest Dive, and The Huddle to name a few. His writing credits include the features Camp Bow Wow, Father Forgive Me and the television special Tanya.

Famous quotes containing the word career:

    Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
    Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)

    Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.
    Anne Roiphe (20th century)
