Are you worried your brain will be turned to tapioca by T.V. ? This incredible book the the pain-in-the-ass writer and critic will straighten your head and arm you with anger.
Reader community remarks (by Tim Leider at Amazon):
Written in 1971 when television was even worse than it is now (mostly because there were less channels so that one good show out of a thousand was even harder to find) Harlan Ellison's columns for the Free Press were some of the most dead-on impressions of televions - the business, the message, the medium - ever. From political commentaries to the muted lives of television executives and their "helpful suggestions" to youth-oriented programming, Ellison took no prisoners and never let up on his criticism of an industry that made him prosperous. For anyone whose ever seen him on Politically Incorrect telling a conservative radio host to shove it and cheered this is one of those books that you just need to read.
