Trade Review
"Clear, compelling, frequently witty, and always engaging, TV by Design will easily meet the expectations of those readers who have come to expect the very best in scholarship, argument, and expression from Lynn Spigel. In stunning and bold fashion, she brings together television and fine arts and shows how their intersection fits logically into the history of twentieth-century culture. This is a work of major consequence." - Dana Polan, author of the British Film Institute's Pulp Fiction and Jane Campion"
