A friend (okay, someone I had a wicked crush on) gave me this for my birthday long, long ago, in the days before the internet made it kind of, sadly, irrelevant. Even apart from the fact that this man I had a wicked crush on gave me such a perfect gift, I loved this book. It's the sort of thing you can pick up to check one thing - when did Darrin change from Dick York to Dick Sargent? - or pick up to settle in and actually read for a while. Of course, just looking up one thing never ended with that one thing; whenever I've tried I've usually surfaced from the pages a good forty-five minutes later. When the title says "comprehensive", it means comprehensive. This was where I went to tally what Twilight Zone episodes I'd seen in the New Year's marathons, and peruse which ones I'd never seen, and the source of my deep satisfaction when one of the rare ones finally popped up. This was where I'd wallow in nostalgia over the shows I'd loved as a kid, and where, had I had a Netflix queue at the time, I would have quickly filled it up with the shows that sounded fascinating. Well-written, astoundingly well-researched (how did he do it?), and at the time indispensable: seriously, Robert, wherever you are, you can't blame me for taking this as tantamount to a geeky declaration of affection, can you?
