Product Description
Imagine the greatest week of television ever. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, TV GUIDE has done just that. Picking and choosing from classic programs, unforgettable characters, hilarious moments and broadcast-interrupting tragedies, TV GUIDE has created in this deluxe and nostalgic history the ultimate week of programming. Here are fifty years of riveting innovation distilled into one unforgettable book.
From Saturday morning cartoons through prime time and late night, Fifty Years of Television pays tribute to hundreds of the most important shows of all time. More than 250 color and black-and-white photographs capture the giants of TV in their prime—from "The Great One," Jackie Gleason, to his latter-day descendant Homer Simpson, from Jack Webb of Dragnet to James Gandolfini of The Sopranos. The exciting, graphic covers of TV GUIDE offer a fantastic voyage through generations of pop culture. More than 400 collectible covers are included, featuring the work of artists such as Charles Addams, Salvador DalÃ, Al Hirschfield, Norman Rockwell and Andy Warhol. Landmark essays from the pages of TV GUIDE by Oprah Winfrey, John F. Kennedy, Alex Haley and other American icons shed light on the seductive power of the medium. In original interviews, some of TV's best known and most beloved personalities reminisce about the shows that made the country tune in. A sweeping appreciation of TV, this is the ultimate book of its kind.

A colorful guide to the box in the corner. ( westread )
This is typical of those overpriced books that come out for buying in the festive season but the good news is that after December you can usually find them at a greatly reduced price. I got my copy via the Net at well below ten dollars.
Read the Book Description above to find out about the contents of this thick coffee table book. Most of the two hundred and fifty photos (all publicity shots) are one to a page with long captions and covers of the Guide, more than four hundred, pop up at relevant places. Other covers are shown on five spreads devoted to each decade and actually I would have preferred the book to have concentrated on the covers rather than the publicity photos, a lot of well known illustrators were used, like Jack Davis, Ronald Searle, Al Hirschfeld, LeRoy Neiman and Bob Peak to name a few.
I did like the way the material was divided into themes, Weekends, Daytime, Evenings, Prime Time and Late Night, rather presenting it all in strict historical order. The back of the book has an interesting complete list of covers from April 1953 to April 2002 but unfortunately it is set in a real tiny type (Day-lite Sans would be an appropriate font name).
If you can find this book at a low, low price it will certainly be worth buying.
