The Platinum Age of Television -- A NetGalley Review

Who would think reading a book about T.V. would be fun?  I was a little apprehensive when I started reading.  I have watched most of these shows before, whether they be reruns or  first time on television.  David Bianculli, a known T.V. critic, wrote about how certain shows lead to or helped create a new world for television watchers.

This book is separated into 13 parts, or T.V. genres.  Within each section, there are approximately 5 shows that get a specific look into them, but there are also talk of shows that interlink the next to the previous.  At the end of most sections, there is a personal profile of 1 or more people that helped to make or expand that particular genre.

This book, while over 500 pages, in my ARC, took a while to read, I am glad that I did.  My knowledge of the shows are greatly increased and I have a better understanding of television, overall.

Thank you DoubleDay Books and NetGalley for the digital ARC of this book to give my honest opinion.
