"This book is the edited and selected result of what has gone on in John Crosby's mind in the six years during which he has been reviewing radio and television as a daily columnist...It is, as Crosby points out, much more fun to write about bad programs than good ones. It's also more fun to read about them...But the book as a whole is a happy necessity for anyone concerned with the tremendous impact of television and radio on American life, as seen by one of their most civilized and intelligent critics." - excerpt off the dust jacket flaps.
