TV MANIA

PERHAPS THE GREATEST BOOK THAT I HAVE SEEN WITH REFERENCE TO THE TV SHOWS THAT INFLUENCED MY LIFE. THE NOSTALGIA AND PICTORIAL DISPLAY OFFERED MANY WARM MEMORIES AND HUMORISTIC REFERENCES. WELL DONE, NOT OVERDONE.... BRAVO

Great read, but left many shows out

I really had a wonderful time reading through "TV Mania", but I realized there were several shows which made an impact on America that were not listed in the timeline: what about "Mr. Peepers"?

TV LOVERS ALERT!!!!!

What a wonderful and loving book that chronicles tv from the beginning. The book is a treasure to hold. If you love tv you must not miss this.

Fond tv memories; great to give to anyone.

Fast-paced page turner of a book. Great for grandparents, parents, tv children of any generation. Most fun I've had with a book in ages. Great way to trigger memories of those favorite shows. Excellent selection of pictures.

Fun yet Informative.

The book provides an overview of the history of television. The presentation of information makes the reading all more enjoyable. Pictures from favorite shows spur fond memories of past television engagements. I strongly recommend it. What a great gift!
