Great Trivia for those who are really Obsessed with TV!,
By
This review is from: Obsessed with TV (Hardcover)
I actually bought this book at Barnes and Nobles..... I really enjoyed this book! This book is definitely for those who are truly obsessed with TV! I thought that I was really good at trivia, but when I tried the questions in this book, I was not as "TV obsessed" as I thought! The book covers a wide range of "channels" or topics from the heyday of TV, comedy, drama, talk shows and even reality shows. There are 2,500 multiple-choice questions in all and has an electronic computer that can generate random questions or you can type in the question number and answer the questions that way. The computer will keep track the questions you get right or wrong. It will give you the correct answer if you get it wrong and will also provide a percentage of how many questions you answer correctly. The game can be played alone or with another player. The computer will keep score. The batteries are replaceable, so players can get maximum use of the product. This book is great for trivia buffs, TV mavens and generally anyone that like casual games. This book will have you wanting to play more, especially if you let the computer randomize the questions. If I ever have to go the field or deployment, this would be a great companion!
One problem I see: When I was playing the game, I had it set to random questions. There are 2,500 questions in all. I ended up getting the SAME question number come up 3 times while playing! I got the question right when it came up the first time! I mean, 2,500 questions! You shouldn't be seeing the same question twice or three times like I did! All in all, this book is fun and educational! I would highly recommend!

I saw the book at my sisters how tried it out and LOVED it!!! I like to think I know a lot about TV but this book is proving how much I don't know about TV shows. If you love TV shows this is the book for you.
