Review
"I hate Top Ten lists and am existentially opposed to numerically rating television shows, so this book is my worst nightmare! You should buy it anyway, because Alan and Matt are shrewd, witty, and insightful critics, even if they are wrong about Cheers being better than 30 Rock."―Emily Nussbaum, The New Yorker "What fun to dive into a book that not only inspires but invites debate over your favorite TV shows. Which ones truly deserve to be in the Pantheon? Which ones did or didn't make the cut? Any book that celebrates everything from The Sopranos to Rocky and Bullwinkle gets my attention...and deserves yours."―Leonard Maltin, film critic/ historian"It's the Golden Age of TV, yes, but TV: THE BOOK shows we are also in the Golden Age of TV criticism. In the same way so many of us made Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide or Pauline Kael's or David Thomson's review collections our film bibles, readers will be poring over this magnificent volume for years to come. An essential, provocative, and irresistible tome from two of our greatest critics." ―Megan Abbott, bestselling author of The Fever and You Will Know Me

While I have quibbles with the order of their list, it's hard to argue that these two authors don't love TV and didn't do their research. Shows that I had forgotten about made the list, as well as shows that I never thought I'd see on any best-of list, and that was a pleasant surprise. Some of the essays are surprisingly short, but no show that I thought had to be on the list was left out, so I can't have too many complaints.The show with what I thought was the best finale ever was actually the show they chose for that as well. If you've seen the show, then I don't even think you could argue for anything else. (Spoiler-free review. Buy the book if you want to know which show.)I also appreciated that no currently airing show was considered, as any kind of art needs some time to be fully appreciated.If you love TV now (or have in the past), you should't hesitate to buy this book.
I have enjoyed reading Sepinwall's episode reviews for many shows, such as Lost, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, and so forth. I also enjoyed Zoller Seitz' book of critical commentaries on Mad Men, so I knew that TV (The Book) would be an enjoyable read for me.This is a valuable book for thinking about TV in a serious, intelligent way rather than merely looking down upon TV as idle trash. Sepinwall and Zoller Seitz' opening debate is excellent to read. I loved reading about their views on the merits of The Sopranos versus The Wire versus The Simpsons as the greatest show of all time. I learned about many new shows as I read through their ranking of the best 100 shows in American history. I have added some new shows to my list of series that I need to watch some day (Freaks and Geeks, Twin Peaks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc).I would say the only drawback to the book is that it became a little tedious to read every review and every page, especially for shows which I do not really plan on ever watching. However, overall I would recommend this book to anyone interested in TV in a serious way, or if you are just looking to learn about important shows that you might have missed. Their writing is clear, often witty and humorous, and enlightening.
The book is interesting for the most part and I have enjoyed plugging though it. I appreciate their efforts in trying to rank the greats of all time in television, but it sure "feels" front loaded. What I mean is that most of the "best shows ever" are super recent in the grand scope of television history. I understand that television has taken an upward swing in quality, in many cases, but there are shows that somehow have been pushed down the list of these gentlemen, that frankly shouldn't be.If you are person who loves lists, as I do, this book will satisfy your need to disagree with their results (if you are anything like me). So, enjoy and I look forward to seeing your review.
A superb reference with respect to television's finest examples of drama and comedy. In addition, a very stimulating, seriously thoughtful, and keenly observed dissection of the qualities that made the selected shows so special and/or influential. Nice (and rare) to have such scholarly, thoughtful analysis that (in all but a few instances) is as understandable and accessible as it is sophisticated.
If you're an entertainment geek and enjoy debating and discussing television or movies, you'll enjoy this book. I don't agree with all of their rankings and even strongly disagree with some, but these guys make their cases for and against shows in an engaging way. It's the kind of book where you'll read their take on a show you love and shake your head and say "Exacty!," or read their take on a show you hate and say out loud, "What is he smoking?" But that's fun. You feel like you're involved in a discussion. I liked it.
I am not American, and as such I have not seen most of the TV shows in the "Pantheon". But I do have a certain affinity for scripted TV, an affinity that has grown to the uber-availability of content these days. I started actively watching TV shows in 2005, and haven't stopped since. Luckily, just about that time the so-called "Golden Era of TV" was about to burst, and burst it did.This book is terrific in that regard and it manages to scale down all the shows and presents a great starting point for anyone who wants to start watching great TV. Not to mention it has amazing insights into shows I already love and adore (hello there Cheers, hey, good seeing you Tony!). Sepinwall and MZS do a great job in carrying across their thoughts and while ranking such a subjective thing as fiction is inherently difficult, they make it fun and inclusive. I loved their scoring model, which they explain in detail at the beginning of the book, not to mention the essays accompanying each show. The clarity of their thoughts makes the reader want to see the show so bad. I wanna rewatch half the shows I watched after reading this book. It invokes that feeling!All in all, a great read for TV fans, old and new, young and old, novices and buffs.
If you are a fan of television then this book is a must read. Not only for the lists but for suggestions of shows to catch up on that you might have missed. The authors give cogent reasons for where they rank each show. While I did not always agree with the rankings I respected the rankings because they defended each one in an intelligent manner.The book had more depth than one would expect. It was an enjoyable read.
I didn't always agree with the placements of shows in this book, but both Sepinwall and Seitz are excellent writers who do a good job of providing a reason as to why everything on their list was good and mattered to the history of American television. I also appreciated how much they provided coverage to plenty of shows that were made before THE SIMPSONS and TWIN PEAKS came along. Sometimes, it feels as if everyone just forgot that there were good American television before George HW Bush became President.
