Books About TV: Here Are 16 Staff Picks — Which Reads Do You Recommend?
Starting to feel bloated, your eyes bleary, from bingeing too much actual television? Looking for a quieter, TV-related escape while confined to home? (One that has the added benefit of signaling to any rambunctious rugrats, “Shhhhh. There is reading going on”?) Let’s see if TVLine can help.
In the attached gallery (click here for direct access), several staff members — not professional book critics by any means — have shared some of their favorite reads about TV and/or by those who make the magic happen. Our 16 picks include a deep dive into the most-watched show in TV history, a must-read on Must-See TV, a dishy primer on the Brady Bunch life and a two-part post mortem on the infamous late-night wars.
