Geissman also co-wrote the music for all twelve seasons of the hit CBS-TV series Two and a Half Men, for all six seasons of hit CBS-TV series Mike & Molly, and for the first season of the short-lived CBS-TV series B Positive. He has also contributed specialty music for a number of other TV shows, including The Big Bang Theory and Mom.

His other TV credits include playing the Django Reinhart-style acoustic guitar solo on the theme of the hit sitcom Monk, and playing on the underscore for Mad Men.

Geissman is also the author and designer of five books related to the 1950s E.C. Comics and MAD Magazine. The most recent is the massive, Eisner-nominated Taschen tome The History of E.C. Comics (2020). His other books include FELDSTEIN: The Mad Life and Fantastic Art of Al Feldstein!, Foul Play! The Art and Artists of the Notorious 1950s E.C. Comics, Tales of Terror! The E.C.
