The Accounting Department: Quiet Heroes of by Henning Fog Every Tuesday at 8:30 pm (on ABC!), Katie Otto and her family fill television screens with their misadventures and wry take on contemporary American motherhood. You know the actors: Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader. You see the creator’s name — Sarah Dunn — and those of the other producers splashed across the opening titles. Maybe you’ve even IMDB’d the costume designer or composers! You’re a curious person who reads the CBS Studio Center newsletter. BUT it’s probably safe to say you don’t know who comprises American Housewife’s accounting department. “We are often the forgotten members of the staff,” says Teresa Drapkin, the show’s payroll accountant. “If we’re doing our job correctly, no one knows who we are.” Teresa Drapkin, Lawrence Harris, Amanda Simonson, David Alcala, Lynn Baum, and Monica Muelhause-Horn are the brilliant minds responsible for paying equipment rentals, approving budgets, filing invoices, and — maybe most important to staff mental health — distributing paychecks. Very tangibly, the accounting team interacts with every single department on the show. They are as integral to the daily functioning of American Housewife as Daniel DiMaggio, Meg Donnelly, Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader Line Producer Chris Plourde, or La Croix. and Julia Butters - the cast of American Housewife “I didn’t know what I wanted to do when I started out in this business,” says David, 2nd Assistant Accountant. “Accounting gives you such a broad scope of what’s happening all the PHOTO: ABC/Craig Sjodin © 2016 American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.

Clara’s Kids

For the last decade, CBS Law Department employee Clara Schwartz, in conjunction with the Studio, has hosted an annual holiday party for kindergarten and first grade students. This year’s recipient was the Twenty-Fourth Street School in . The trip to the Studio is quite a treat for the children, as well as for the staff here on the lot as they serenade us with Christmas carols and Chanukah songs. The Studio provides the kids with a bare tree for them to decorate with their handmade ornaments, cookies and milk are served, and of course Santa and an elf or two are in attendance. And despite the sunny skies and warm weather, thanks to our SFX department it’s snowing here when they arrive! This adventure is presented to the children as an exchange of gifts with Santa; they will give Mr. Klaus two gifts, the gift of songs and the ornaments they create, and of course they don’t leave here without a little something from Santa! 3 DECEMBER 2016 Dee’s FlowersFlowers
