Over the course of 80 years television has produced countless
programs, many of which fit a particular profile. Did you know, for
example, some programs are devoted to ghosts, genies, angels and
even mermaids? Color broadcasting was first tested in 1941? Live
models were used to advertise lingerie as early as 1950? Or that
nudity (although accidental) occurred on TV long before cable was
even thought possible? These are just a few of the many facts and
firsts that can be found within the 145 entries included.
Appropriate for fans and scholars, and bursting with obscure facts,
this work traces the evolution of specific topics from 1925 through
the 2005-2006 season. Entries include such diverse themes as
adolescence, adult film actresses on TV, bars, espionage, gays,
immigrants, lawyers, transsexuals and truckers, as well as
locations like Canada, Hawaii, New York and Los Angeles. Each entry
is arranged as a timeline, clearly displaying how television's
treatment of the subject has changed through the years. Each entry
is as complete as possible and contains series, pilot, special and
experimental program information. Whether just a fan of television
and eager to know more about the medium or a scholar seeking
hard-to-find facts and information, this book traces the history of
specific topics from television's infancy to its changes in the
early twenty-first century.
