Lou Haviland

Lou Haviland joined the Showbiz Cheat Sheet team in 2019. Much of her focus is on classic TV, including The Andy Griffith Show, All in the Family, The Jeffersons, and Matlock. She also covers Jeopardy! and the Nat Geo Wild reality series The Incredible Dr. Pol.

Much of her coverage stems from the personal enjoyment she’s drawn from watching the shows herself, and she loves finding cast members’ accounts from their experiences on the shows to share with readers and fellow fans.

Lou earned her bachelor’s in communication arts from Ramapo College of New Jersey. When she’s not going behind the scenes in Mayberry, you can expect her to be in the books or blogs of Jhumpa Lahiri, David Sedaris, or MC Beaton. See more from Lou on her Muck Rack profile.
