TV (The Book)

Two of our greatest TV writers tackle the beast of American television to find the single greatest show ever made. While working at the Newark Star-Ledger, Matt and Alan created a popular column debating the merits of then-current television. They went to successful careers as critics but the debate raged on and now comes to an epic conclusion in TV (THE BOOK). Like Bill Simmons did in The Book of Basketball, Alan and Matt have established The Pantheon of top TV shows using a complex, obsessively all-encompassing ranking system by which to order and stack them up against each other. With a mix of lively entries on critically acclaimed and commercially successful classics such as Seinfeld, The Sopranos, Star Trek, The Simpsons and Twin Peaks and illuminating essays on short-lived favorites such as Taxi, Freaks and Geeks, and My So-Called Life, TV (THE BOOK) is sure to spark conversation and debate among readers. TV (THE BOOK) is a must-have for long-time television and film buffs and for young enthusiasts who, fresh off their latest Netflix binge, are looking to expand their knowledge of the medium and wondering what show to start streaming next.
