I'll be buying it with some of my x-mas money and as I know some of you are huge tv buffs, I thought it might be of interest to see this wonderful time for the small screen chronicled.

Seeing as the book is about great TV from the last decade I figured it was pretty obvious to anyone with a brain.

Oh yeah, for those interested the book is titled "The Revolution was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers who changed TV Drama Forever."
It's a self published effort so can only be purchased online.

I can't wait for your reaction when I start watching it and hate it.
Actually I probably can wait and will wait. I'll watch it some day.
Maybe. |
