Description
Howard Leeds discusses the television show he created, “Small Wonder.” He begins by explaining that he is the creator, writer, and executive producer of the show. He talks about other shows he has produced such as “The Brady Bunch,” “Different Strokes,” and “The Facts of Life.” He describes how making a syndicated television show differs from making a big network series. Leeds talks about the premise of his new show, which is about a robotic child who must learn to adapt to everyday family life. He describes several influences on his television series such as “The Twilight Zone,” “E.T.,” and “Blade Runner.” He ends the interview by talking about how he got his start writing comedy shows in Hollywood.
