Total Television: Revised Edition

This is a great book that arrived in perfect condition.

True to its description, this thing contains every show ever made up until its publication. While the information isn't extensive for many of the programs beyond air dates and a brief description, it's a good starting point resource for finding out about an obscure show to do further research on it elsewhere.

Sadly, as soon as the 4th Edition hit the bookshelves, it was out of date. On the cover it says "1948 to the Present." It should have read "1948 to 1996 as television was about to launch into an explosion of channels and programs that no one would be able to keep up to date. But it does a good job of describing the years it covers, even if there are a few minor errors here and there.

My husband had a much older edition. I order this newer edition for him for Christmas. It arrived timely, in great shape, and he is now enjoying the updated version. Thanks so much for great service!

A wonderful reference book

Love this great book

I like that it was in very good shape. I disliked that part of the book was torn apart at the binder. I use this to help me write a historical novel in documentary fiction about a T.V. station in a fictional city in Georgia, and because I am a student of TV history and other types of history.

If your in your fifties,like me,you'll not be able to put this book down.There's shows in here you thought were gone from your memory forever.This book has even added the Saturday Morning line-up of shows.There's a section listing Specials andHighlights over the years.Seriously,you'll be lost here for hours.
