From sitcoms to westerns to TV dramas, from The Honeymooners to Seinfeld, here are the best-loved series -- complete with cast profiles, behind-the-scene stories, and special interviews. Look back at the classics: Hill Street Blues, M*A*S*H, Cheers, Saturday Night Live. And compare them to today's hits -- Seinfeld, ER, Friends, and much more. A must-have for TV buffs.
I bought this book for 99 cents figuring I had nothing to lose. I was shocked at the reading pleasure it brought to me!This book is extremely entertaining for readers of all kinds. It provides basic information for well over 100 different television series as well as little-known facts and a look at how the television programs influenced culture.Also not to be missed are the photographs included. While many of the photos are well-known, they are all beautifully displayed with vibrant color. Most intriguing were photographs of Lucille Ball and Mary Tyler Moore, although there are great photos from shows such as The X-Files, Star Trek, The Simpsons, and many others.I also like how, in addition to the "100 Greatest Shows Ever," the reader is also treated to the top 10 shows in other various genres. The book really makes you rethink the entertainment that television can provide. Buy it -- you won't regret it!
A must have for any TV fan!
