Jackie Gleason once said, ""Television critics are men who report
traffic accidents to eyewitnesses."" But aren't we all TV critics?
It's a question that overlooks the importance of professional
critics whose print and online columns reach large audiences. Their
work helps viewers engage with programming and shapes the
conversations that arise. This book covers more than five decades
of American criticism, from the early days to the present. Whether
praising or condemning programming trends, evaluating production
and ratings, analyzing storylines or weighing in on policy
decisions, a television critic's work is more than a consumer guide
- it is part of a rich history that offers an insightful view of
American culture.
