Freaks, Gleeks, and Dawson's Creek: How Seven Teen Shows Transformed Television by Thea Glassman

informative fast-paced

3.0

 

This book discusses seven teen shows that revolutionized television for their target audiences and how they impacted television shows that would come in the future. The shows discussed are The Fresh Prince, My So Called Life, The OC, Freaks and Geeks, Glee, Dawson's Creek, and Friday Night Lights. Out of those shows, I only ever watched Fresh Prince and Freaks and Geeks. I enjoyed learning some behind the scenes information about the shows and how they were created. This was a pretty neat book. The Audible version is just about 7 hours, so I listened to it in one shift at work.
