American Cable - A Comprehensive Study on the TV That Changed the World

By Joseph Brutsman

From the author of Marlon & Greg

American Cable

How Basic Cable Changed America

Beyond Fake News and Unreal Reality

In that media-changing era between a three TV network world and today's digital streaming, cable television came along and revolutionized our entertainment, our politics and essentially every aspect of our lives. AMERICAN CABLE tells this story. Author Joseph Brutsman ("Marlon & Greg - The Final Years of Brando & Peck") produced, wrote, directed and created cable shows from the start of the medium, from that time when it seemed that 100 new "networks" popped up overnight, nothing was on them, and creatives had to quickly figure it all out. That is just one of the many explored regions in AMERICAN CABLE.

The book is as vast as its subject, and personal as well. From "The Sopranos" to "The Kardashians", the shows are explored, in both pay and basic cable. And all along the way, Brutsman takes us behind the scenes, telling us how the productions get made, how cable arrived in the first place, and how the impact of it all has changed a nation. It's television that rocked and shaped our world, all here in AMERICAN CABLE.
