Here it is at last, that post you've all been waiting for, right? ;-) The last (at least for now) batch of books on favorite TV shows. :-)

The companion book to the TV show Frasier is one of the best. Along with the expected episode guide (just through the third season, though), there are character (and actor) biographies, lots of pictures and a collection of quotes. Jefferson Graham is the author of Frasier.

The House That Hugh Laurie Built: an Unauthorized Biography and Episode Guide, by Paul Challen includes a nice biography of Hugh Laurie as well as short bios of the other actors on House. Paul Challen explains how the show was developed and how Laurie got the job (quite the fun tale!) The episode guide includes inside jokes and errors (called 'booboos'). Most enjoyable.

Navy NCIS, by Klaus Hinrichsen, is a self-published fan book. My copy is season 1 - 8, but the author provides updates on a regular basis and at some point I will get a newer copy. Basically this is information you can find on line, but gathered all in one place and easy to read when curled up on the sofa. There are bios of the characters, a synopsis of each episode, and, my favorite bit, 'best lines' from each show.

Unraveling the Mysteries of the Big Bang Theory: an Unabashedly Unauthorized TV Show Companion, by George Beahm was an unexpected surprise one afternoon when I did a search for books about my favorite TV shows. As usual for this sort of book, there are bios on the characters and a guide to the episodes (through season four), but there are also entries on such things as asperger's syndrome and selective mutism which gives a greater depth of understanding to the characters. We also learn a bit about all that sciency stuff! This is a fun read!

Doctor Who has been around since 1963. I, however, am new to Who and that is why this entry is the last. Fortunately I got hooked during the 50th anniversary celebration so there were lots of books to read (which will show up on a post at some point). I found the history of the show to be fascinating. While not exactly complete, (the show, after all, is still airing), Doctor Who: the Complete Guide, by Mark Campbell has been a great resource.
