Library Journal:"The authors have meticulously documented an in-depth survey of the entire world of TV trends and Programming from the industry's beginnings, presenting along the way some very judicious critical analyses."

David Bianculli (TV critic, NPR's Fresh Air):"The best one-stop-shopping detailed overview of TV, season by season, ever published."

Entertainment Tonight: "Sharpeyed and eclectic."

Horace Newcomb (director of the George Foster Peabody Awards): "A rare type of work that makes a difference for many types of readers.
