	Leonard, Sheldon
		The excellence of the T and L programs is surely due in no small part to Leonard's commitment to the quality of the scripts, exemplified by his cultivation of writing talent, his promotion of writers to producers, and the extremely collaborative nature of the writing process on all the shows.
		Leonard returned to the sitcom form in 1967 with the short-lived Good Morning World (written and produced by Persky and Denoff), another reflexive, quasi-show-biz format in the Van Dyke vein, concerning a team of radio deejays, which also anticipated the ensemble comedy style of the MTM shows of the 1970s.
		Leonard's final forays into situation comedy were less prestigious: Shirley's World, a Shirley MacLaine vehicle in the Mary Tyler Moore mold, and The Don Rickles Show, an ill-fated attempt to package the master of insult comedy in a domestic sitcom.
