TV (The Book): Two Experts Pick the Greatest American Shows of All Time
Description
Is The Wire better than Breaking Bad? Is Cheers better than Seinfeld? What’s
the best high school show ever made? Why did Moonlighting really fall apart?
Was the Arrested Development Netflix season brilliant or terrible? For twenty
years-since they shared a TV column at Tony Soprano’s hometown newspaper-
critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz have been debating these
questions and many more, but it all ultimately boils down to this: What’s the
greatest TV show ever? That debate reaches an epic conclusion in TV (THE
BOOK). Sepinwall and Seitz have identified and ranked the 100 greatest
scripted shows in American TV history. Using a complex, obsessively all-
encompassing scoring system, they’ve created a Pantheon of top TV shows, each
accompanied by essays delving into what made these shows great. From vintage
classics like The Twilight Zone and I Love Lucy to modern masterpieces like
Mad Men and Friday Night Lights, from huge hits like All in the Family and ER
to short-lived favorites like Firefly and Freaks and Geeks, TV (THE BOOK) will
bring the triumphs of the small screen together in one amazing compendium.
Sepinwall and Seitz’s argument has ended. Now it’s time for yours to begin!
