TV Guide: Fifty Years of Television

Description:

Imagine the greatest week of television ever. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, TV GUIDE has done just that. Picking and choosing from classic programs, unforgettable characters, hilarious moments and broadcast-interrupting tragedies, TV GUIDE has created in this deluxe and nostalgic history the ultimate week of programming. Here are fifty years of riveting innovation distilled into one unforgettable book.

From Saturday morning cartoons through prime time and late night, Fifty Years of Television pays tribute to hundreds of the most important shows of all time. More than 250 color and black-and-white photographs capture the giants of TV in their prime—from "The Great One," Jackie Gleason, to his latter-day descendant Homer Simpson, from Jack Webb of Dragnet to James Gandolfini of The Sopranos. The exciting, graphic covers of TV GUIDE offer a fantastic voyage through generations of pop culture. More than 400 collectible covers are included, featuring the work of artists such as Charles Addams, Salvador Dalí, Al Hirschfield, Norman Rockwell and Andy Warhol. Landmark essays from the pages of TV GUIDE by Oprah Winfrey, John F. Kennedy, Alex Haley and other American icons shed light on the seductive power of the medium. In original interviews, some of TV's best known and most beloved personalities reminisce about the shows that made the country tune in. A sweeping appreciation of TV, this is the ultimate book of its kind.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School-This visual feast has a heaping helping of narrative about trend-setting programs and an interesting dollop of celebrity essays. YAs might find themselves surprised to realize that what they consider innovative programs today have parallels with shows of the past. The book is categorized by time slot: weekend, daytime, evening, prime time, and late night. Teens may read for pleasure, perhaps to test their parents' or grandparents' memory on the novel days of TV, or for information. The book is a plum for a report about American culture from the 1950s to the millennium. Also, the pages are stuffed with photos of TV Guide covers that are perfect for art and photography students learning design and layout. An index of every TV Guide cover is included, along with photographer. This coffee-table-sized book will be popular because of its balanced and colorful account of each decade.
