Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Tunes into TV (eBook)

Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader has always been in love with TV, so the time has come for an entire book about it. After all, it’s the one thing that everybody can relate to–virtually every person in Western society has seen The Simpsons or M*A*S*H at least once. Plus, TV is a gold mine for all the things that Bathroom Reader fans love: origins, fads, failures, celebrities, scandals, obscure trivia, history, and even science (not to mention science fiction). It’s a treasure trove for anyone who loves television. * Lucille Ball’s only flop
