books | "tasteland"

by aaron barnhart. (paperback, 2010)

My favorite TV critic went through fifteen years of features and columns and edited the best into this collection. It's a timeline of recent television history, from the mid-'90s to this year's late night debacle. In part two, Barnhart lists his favorite 100 series and specials in his time on the beat.

Barnhart's writing style and wholehearted embrace of the Internet were what drew me to his work eleven years ago, and they are on full display here. For TV junkies, it's totally worth the $12.
