TV FAQ: Uncommon Answers to Common Questions About TV

Autor John Ellis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2007
"TV FAQ" will make you a fully informed and knowledgable, entertained and argumentative TV expert. "TV FAQ" does what it says on the cover: it answers just about everything you've always wanted to know about Television, in witty and highly informative form and is written by a leading TV writer, thinker, educator and long-term producer. "'TV FAQ" takes commonly asked questions about TV - factual, technical, ethical, content-based, controversial, plain cheeky and answers them crisply and comprehensively. Each entry contains examples, ranging from a detailed deconstruction of an episode of "NYPD Blue", to the way that audience statistics are produced, and how television gains (and sometimes forfeits) our trust. Answers can be read down, across - with links between entries - or dipped into as required.
