There were some interesting tidbits in here about shows I loved and I learned a few things about shows I never watched. It got me thinking about what we will say about “teen” shows in 20 years. How has the streaming culture changed the way teens connect to entertainment? Will there be another FNL?
expected analysis/commentary on the effects these shows had on television and culture. instead they are just “how it’s made” for TV shows.

This was a fun nostalgic romp backstage through some of the TV shows that shaped the millennial teenage years. Learned some cool things and it made me want to watch a couple of shows I hadn't previously seen.

Loved the nostalgia and reliving the shows. I only watched 3 out of 5, but I was still entertained throughout the other 2!
Nice light audiobook to relive some of my favorite teen shows. My So Called Life was revolutionary for me at 14. I was also a huge Glee fan. I enjoyed the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Dawson’s Creek chapter. I never watched Freaks and Geeks, The OC, or Friday Night Lights, so I skimmed those chapters. The overall arch of the evolution of teen TV shows was interesting. Enjoyable.
