4.0 out of 5 stars Great read, but left many shows out, September 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: TV Mania: A Timeline of Television (Hardcover)

I really had a wonderful time reading through "TV Mania", but I realized there were several shows which made an impact on America that were not listed in the timeline: what about "Mr. Peepers"?
