Glenn Altschuler and David grossvogel have reconstructed the history of TV Guide, using dozens of interviews and close readings of thousands of articles to literally take readers inside the publication. The result is a detailed picture of a magazine that as it attempted to define itself, both reflected and shaped political and social reality.
Throughout each decade of its forty-year history, TV Guide has dealt with contemporary social and political issues. "A fascinating excursion into the rise and fall of television as seen through an analysis of the rise and fall of TV Guide."

Changing Channels: America in TV Guide
A good line:
Q. Is it possible to engross the audience when the end of the quest is already known?
Yes. Mark Twain wrote of U.S. Grant's personal memoirs that they were so well written as to make one wonder who was going to win the Civil War.
The book itself was a tough read. He seems to try to make his points in such an obtuse manner that it's difficult to understand his point.
He asks the question, what does a producer do. But never fully answers it.
I like his brief description of a scene from the movie, "Contact", one that I've always regarded as being unique.
"Another magnificient effect is the running-upstairs shot in "Contact" (director Rober Zemekis, cinematographer Don Burgess), in which the camera pulls the hero, a little girl, down a corridor, up the steps, and toward a medicine cabinet holding the drugs that will save her father from his heart attack. She reaches forward, and the shot of her face becomes a shot of a medicine cabinet. the camera, however, does not move. That is, it is as if the entire shot were, somehow, a reflection in the medicine cabinet mirror. A stunning effect."
It's worth watching the movie for that scene alone.
