Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-28 00:00:00 Robert Scharfe This is a well written study, but almost all of this can be found in Ban Gu's Han Shu account of Wang Mang--Thomsen's study does not really go beyond it at all. One might be better served simply reading the Ban Gu account.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-06 00:00:00 Philip Duncan Although much forgotten in today's television world, Art Carney was a comedic pioneer, whose footsteps paved the way for the modern sitcom. Along with Jackie Gleason, Art defined what it was to perform "buddy comedy". After creating one of the most influential characters in television history, Mr. Carney continued on with Tony nominations and a Academy Award for Best Actor. This is the comprehensive story of a true American innovator.
