The Platinum Age of Television: From I Love Lucy to the Walking Dead, How TV Became Terrific by David Bianculli
3.0
The book is likely designed to be read in sections, not as a whole; therefore, it repeats facts often, sometimes within the same chapter.
The other downside is that the author seems obsessed with Emmy nominations and wins, devoting at least a paragraph in each section to list them.
The divisions are well established and fun enough; I respect the attempt to pinpoint key evolutionary points of television, even if some of them are too based on Emmy wins.
I'd give it 2.5/5 stars.
