Couldn't Put it Down

I first received this book (4th edition, I think) as a Christmas present from my brother back in '88. I enjoyed this book so much, I couldn't put it down. With this book, I can find out when these shows aired, what time they were on, what days they aired, and even what network they were originally shown on. I can even find out what was on the fall TV schedule for a particular year. I always look forward to finding new entries and updates for current shows in future editions. I currently have four editions of this book.

If you like smelly books!

Book stunk like old cheese and mold. I threw it away.

Not up to date stops at 1995

I was a little disappointed that this newer version was not totally up to date. It is more current than my older book

Brilliant.

I borrowed the book from a friend and he had a difficult time getting it back. I had a lot of laughs reflecting on the many hours of viewing pleasure I have had over the years and I must say it brought back many fond memories. I loved it so much I had to have my own copy.
