Product Review
"A useful overview [that] captures the technological, economic, and cultural sweep of an industry that influenced what would become the Global Village." -- Bill Ruehlmann, The Viringian-Pilot
"A tour-de-force narrative of more than six decades of American television and its impact on U.S. society An important contribution." -- Christopher H. Sterling, Communication Booknotes Quarterly
"An great addition to any undergraduate library and also a nice addition to public libraries." -- Linda W. Hacker, American Reference Books Annual
"With engrossing period photographs and a detailed bibliography, this remarkable book, unquestionably one-of-a-kind, belongs in every reference library." -- Robert Fyne, Film & History
Product Review
"Gary Edgerton's book has wisely told a story that focuses on single and representative events rather than trying to be encyclopedic. And he pulls it off. This is an accessible and compelling narrative of the complicated forces that went into creating our most enigmatic of mediums." -- Ken Burns, filmmaker
Reader Reviews
Professor Edgerton provides an excellent history of American television, providing his unique insights as a media expert in an engaging writing style that is enjoyable yet scholarly. The book is filled with antidotes and critical events that tell the fascinating story of American's favorite pasttime. The book will be valuable both to those who seriously study television and to media professionals who create and produce television. American and international students and educators will also find the book especially insightful about the important role of television in American society. As a scholar and media practitioner who has studied television around the world for the past twenty years, I highly recommend it.
