I really enjoyed this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: America on the Rerun: TV Shows That Never Die (Paperback)
This book is packed with all sorts of interviews with cast members and tidbits I never heard before. It was very detailed, and was an excellent read!! I don't know how I missed this book over the years in bookstores as I am always looking for books on popular TV history. The Bewitched section is especially good. Highly recommended!

Too many shows in one book.,

This review is from: America on the Rerun: TV Shows That Never Die (Paperback)
While this book is entertaining, it does not cover in deep analisis of the shows listed. In other words, too many shows in one book. Good to have it if You can't find a book devoted to a particular show,and it have a nice packaging of photographs. The Tv shows included are: The Andy Griffit show,Mr Ed,The Beverly Hillbillies,My Favourite Martian,Bewitched,The Addams Family,The Man From UNCLE,The Munsters,Gilligan's Island,Lost In Space,Green Acres,The Wild wild West,I Dream Of Jeannie,Get Smart,The Avengers (Covering mostly the Emma Peel and Tara King era),and Dark Shadows. The book does not contain episode guides. On the other hand,film score fans will find an interesting chat with Vic Mizzi,the musical composer of The Addams Family TV show.

A Cursory Glance at a Dozen Famous TV Shows,
By A Customer
This review is from: America on the Rerun: TV Shows That Never Die (Paperback)
Don't buy this book! I was deceived and bought it, thinking it would be a great companion to Sixties classics like Gilligan, Get Smart, Andy Griffith, and the Munsters. It's not. It mentions all of these shows and more but doesn't do any of them justice. Most of these shows deserve books devoted solely to each of them; they certainly do not deserve this Round-Robin type approach. Let me give you one concrete example: the Gilligan's Island chapter spends practically as much space on the two actresses who followed Tina Louise as Ginger Grant in the sequels as it does on Tina Louise herself! Does that make any sense? If you think so, go ahead and order this book. You'll learn all about guest stars and bit players on a dozen classic TV shows...MUCH more than you want to know, I'm sure! The author doesn't seem to have any real sense of why these shows still mean so much to so many! Very disappointed.
