"While working at the Newark Star-Ledger, Matt Zoller Seitz and Alan Sepinwall created a popular column debating the merits of then-current television. Eventually they went on to successful careers as critics elsewhere, but the debate raged on and now comes to an epic conclusion in TV (THE BOOK). Alan and Matt have established The Pantheon of top TV shows using a complex, obsessively all-encompassing ranking system by which to order and stack them up against each other. With a mix of lively entries on critically acclaimed and commercially successful classics such as Seinfeld, The Sopranos, Star Trek, The Simpsons and Twin Peaks and illuminating essays on short-lived favorites such as Taxi, Freaks and Geeks, and My So-Called Life, TV (THE BOOK) is sure to spark conversation and debate among readers. TV (THE BOOK) is a must-have for long-time television and film buffs and for young enthusiasts who, fresh off their latest Netflix binge, are looking to expand their knowledge of the medium and wondering what show to start streaming next"--… (meer)

This masterfully engaging book by two smart guys who really know their stuff is one of the most enjoyable reads I've had in a long time. Intelligent discussions of the very best of television, show by show, are wonderfully readable, as though one were a participant in those discussions and learning much from the insights of one's magnificently well-informed friends. Though they left out a few items from my own list of excellences from TV's history (the brilliant Combat!, the charming and moving Brooklyn Bridge), there's scarcely a show listed that doesn't deserve to be on a list of the most meaningful works in the medium. Fun, informative, revelatory, TV (The Book) was addictive, one of the most compelling "just one more page" experiences I've had in a long time. (

Warning: You will read this very fun, expertly written book about the best TV shows of all time and want to watch television immediately from now until the end of time. (

If you like watching TV then you will find this book interesting. I enjoyed learning that I Love Lucy was the pioneer for the multi-camera concept. And I enjoyed reading about other shows that I just watched for enjoyment but never really noticed if they were doing something groundbreaking. Very entertaining.

I won this book on Goodreads. (

The top 10 lists posted by the authors are the best feature of the book. Told from the perspective of two authors, most TV views would find something to enjoy in the book, which serves more as a book to skim and pick and choose from than read from cover to cover. (

Thanks to Goodreads and the publisher for a free copy of TV (The Book)!

This is an engaging look at American TV shows, filled with the programs we've loved, watched, or at least almost definitely heard of. From the Honeymooners to Hannibal, the authors discuss a dazzling array of shows, meticulously ranking and scoring them, and discussing the things that made us love them (or not).

A must-read for TV fans. But also not recommended if you have an important deadline coming up. This just might push you to finally rent that long list of television shows you've been meaning to watch.

If you'll excuse me, I do believe I have some Breaking Bad to start on. (
