Television Program Master Index: Access to Critical and Historical Information on 1,927 Shows in 925 Books, Dissertations, and Journal Articles, Second Edition

This updated and expanded edition of the highly acclaimed 1996 reference work ("unique" - Booklist/RBB; "absolutely invaluable" - ARBA;"comprehensive" - Rettig on Reference; "essential for historians" - The TV Collector) does researchers a great service by providing a single index to over 900 books and other materials that include information on almost 2,000 television shows. New to this edition are journal articles, books devoted to only one show, dissertations and websites where more information about a particular television show can be found. It also includes many new books covering more than one show that have been published since the first edition was released. Shows aired on the WB and UPN networks have been included, and several syndicated and cable shows have also been indexed. Most of the works indexed deal exclusively with television, though some autobiographies, biographies and memoirs of people who were influential in television, books about communication and the media, published Congressional hearings on such issues as television violence, and books geared toward fans are also indexed.
