Books for TV writing

We read of books on screenwriting that talks about films and their structure. What about TV series? How does one go about that?

Are there any books that specifically talks about structure if TV series and how to go about writing a TV series?

Rob Jones

Ellen Sadler's The TV Writing Workbook was really good. It's a bit older now and relates to her experiences, etc. from writing sitcoms in '90s but it has good info and some good exercises.
