Publisher's Note
How did Dallas pave the way for the Reagan era? Would Oswald have been assassinated if the cameras werent rolling? Who really loved Lucy more--Ricky or Ethel?...and what does that say about relationships? You may think you know television--but when NPR commentator Steven Stark is finished pushing your buttons with fighting words and brilliant insights, you'll see in a whole new way what television has done to us as a nation. From Beaver to Roseanne, Ed Sullivan to Oprah, Monday Night Football to MTV, Stark takes us on a guided tour of the tube, providing startling revelations about the power of its sixty most important shows and events in the history of television. He catches in bright focus a hilarious, strange, and compelling image of ourselves as reflected on the small screen, and he shows us, with striking logic, the awesome power of television over our future and our fate. Discover: The most revealing and significant leading man on TV...Bob Newhart Bill Cosby as racial trailblazer...and failure Why The Beverly Hillbillies was the watershed program that kicked off the ongoing values debate--and the rise of the Christian Coalition How Wheel of Fortune helped bring down communism and end the Cold War
National Public Radio's Steven Stark focuses on 60 American television programs, ranging from the 1940s to the 1990s, telling how they have shaped the American viewer and modern American culture.

Industry reviews
"A vital and engaging analysis of the television 'canon'."
Beattie 

"From a regular commentator on NPR's "Weekend Edition" comes the perfect combination of sound research, informed opinion, sweet nostalgia, and sophisticated humor about the history of television in America and its powerful influence and indelible mark on today's pop culture. Here, truly, is literate fun that is 'tough, perceptive and highly entertaining'."
Rather
