TV MANIA
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
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"?

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.
