Customer Reviews

One of my favorite books about Television!

This is a great book about Daytime TV. I only wished that there had been a more updated version printed. It has tons of shows that aired on daytime TV. It covers Cartoons, Children' programs, Game shows, News shows, Soap operas, Sports programs, Talk shows and more. It gives you show air dates, a synopsis of the plot, its principle cast members and other pertinent info about the show. The writting is small and there is a lot of material packed into the 516 pages. Get a copy while you still can! I love this book!

Very well done

For a book that covers so many disparate types of daytime programs (game shows, soap operas, sports, cartoons and kids' shows, and so on), the volume is remarkably accurate, well-written and heavily researched. You'd think the author was an expert on every genre. Maybe he is, but more likely, he just cared enough to get everything right. How refreshing.

Great

This is the must have reference for all you TV buffs. Very interesting reading, not just a boring refernce guide. I read it cover to cover.
