[Angel · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting look at television. The book features a lot of trivia about television, performers, and the media. Like other books in this series, this is an easy read. It is made of lists with commentary and text, so you can browse through the book a bit at a time, or go right through. What I like about books like this is that I can learn something while getting some entertainment.
