Biography
With writing credits on everything from the family sitcom "Eight is Enough" to the Saturday morning cartoon "Sonic the Hedgehog," Bruce Shelly has been an in-demand television writer for over 30 years. Some of his earliest writing credits came on the popular anthology series "Love, American Style" (which featured a rotating cast of actors in short, comedic love stories) and the low-budget collegiate horror film "The Hazing." Between 1977 and 1981, Shelly wrote over a dozen episodes of "Eight is Enough," about a widower (Dick Van Patten) and his new wife (Lani O'Grady) who blend their respective families into one loud but loving unit. His easily adaptable writing style helped him find work on such wildly different shows as the breezy California crime drama "CHiPs" and the fantasy action-adventure series "The New Adventures of Wonder Woman." During the '80s, he wrote for shows like the prime-time serial "Fantasy Island" and the William Shatner mystery drama "T.J. Hooker" before transitioning to animated shows like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!." He has since written numerous episodes of "Captain N & the Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3," based on the iconic third installment of the popular video game franchise, and served as main writer on the Sega-inspired "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" and the "Inspector Gadget" update "Gadget and the Gadgetinis."
