I Heart TV Your Ultimate Companion to 100 Essential Shows

In this special collection of essays, the editors and writers of "TV Guide" present their 100 favorite shows. Ranging from the iconic shows of yesterday, such as "I Love Lucy" and "All in the Family," to current hits like "Lost," the book represents every genre -- from dramas and sitcoms to reality TV shows and even news programs. Each show is given an explanation of what makes it so special, both on a national scale and on a personal level, and features vital data such as season dates and key cast members. Entertaining sidebars, including "Classic Close-up" (very special episodes), "Preview Review" (what the magazine said when the show first premiered), "Jump the Shark" (the show's death throes), and "Did You Know?," add additional details. Both a viewer's companion and a celebration of one of America's favorite magazines, "I Heart TV" is a must-have reference for every TV fan.Roush, Matt is the author of 'I Heart TV Your Ultimate Companion to 100 Essential Shows', published 2007 under ISBN 9781570615269 and ISBN 1570615268.
