[Chrisanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Most TV stories begin with I Love Lucy. This one ends with it.

I feel a bit like quoting that old quote about the dumbing down of comedy often attributed to Steve Allen. And I honestly thought Mr Peepers was made up.

3.5 stars.

An interesting and informative read...despite the rather relentless Good Old Days tone.
