This is television history in the words of those who helped to create it. * Communication Booknotes Quarterly *
...plenty of juicy anecdotes, which vividly express the exhilaration, the creative freedom, and the sheer panic which marked most productions...a vital, lively book, one that's often as exciting as the era it recounts. * Past Times *
