A New Used Book

         At the end of a yard sale, they were giving small things away. I found a reference book called The Complete Directory of Prime Time Network TV Shows. The subtitle is "1946-Present". Well, it was copyrighted in 1979. So the "present" is 1979. I like old TV, so I took it.

         I've had a great deal of fun with it already. There is a great index of actors, a list of hit theme songs, and a list of the most popular shows by year. Most of the book is an alphabetical listing of the shows by title, with a synopsis and a brief history. I've already cross-referenced a lot of things. I've discovered my favorite stars were in more shows than I knew about.

         It's amazing how something cheap/free can bring so much entertainment. This one actually feeds my more recent addictions: vintage TV watching. Now I want to find the book that covers the following 35 years. That would take me up to 2014. If I run across a book on old movies, I'll be busy for years.
