-RICH BOROWY didn't come from a showbiz family, didn't schmooze within the Ivy League, or wasn't part of the "fast-set". He wasn't born in poverty, either. He DID place his mark in the field that's supposed be called "Television", but TV itself never limited this person on what he does best...and then some!!

Raised in Chicago, he first became involved with the media world at a very early age watching his first TV show Sing Along With Mitch (NBC) on his aunt's RCA Victor color set. Years after that first impact, Rich turned to writing comedy. While attending his junior high school, he had written a number of comedy skits with fellow classmates. Most of these comedy bits never saw the light of day, since producing such comic bits were pretty fruitless to a bunch of 13 year-olds!

While attending high school in suburban Chicago, three of these skits written a few years before were produced in rough form in a television production class. Honest Hymie's Used Cures, Ajax Instant Fire and Stowaway Travels became Rich's first "hits".

Moving into his adults years, he landed his first professional role in television production in Minneapolis, producing programming on community cable TV.

This formed the creation of Linear Cycle Productions, producing a number of TV shows and documentaries.

Linear Cycle Productions was based in Minneapolis from 1983 to 1986, moving to St. Louis in 1987.

Relocating to Los Angeles in 1991, Rich continues to become involved in both TV production, as well as the preservation and history of TV in general, sharing on-going duties in Reel Deels/Fossil Films, a film archive/stock footage library and supplier of 16mm and 35mm films for private collectors.

What lies ahead for Rich? "...Just as the same as before.." he recently was quoted as saying "...We can only get better at what we do...not that I'm bragging or anything. I can't pull the same mistakes as the first time 'cuz I already did..."
