Summary: Stay Tuned
Comment: Another great one from Joe Garner! Stay Tuned is a very good coffee table book (if you will) covering more than 50 years in TV from great shows like "I Love Lucy" and "Survivor" to Sports with Tiger Woods Win at the Masters and the beginning of Monday Night Football to the tragic events of the death of Princess Diana and 9/11.
From cover to cover, it's a great book and the DVD that comes with the book is great as well! It also comes with 2 audio CD's with naration as well. Now some people (including myself at first) might not like this one because this book doesn't cover a somewhat important part of TV. The book does not cover anything from the long running cartoon "The Simpsons". Garner's reason was that there isn't that "one marquee" episode of the Simpsons. So again, you Simpsons fanatics might be a little mad at that.
This is a great gift for all ages and all TV Viewers alike will enjoy this one as well. I will say there is a lot of narration on the DVD but even so, I think anyone can still appreciate the simplistic history of TV. Also, check out WE INTERUPT THIS BROADCAST. This is another great Garner book about radio and Tv and the shocking bulletins that have made us all go "what?" for example, the Kennedy assasination. Either way, a great buy and a great gift for anyone. Highly recommended!

Summary: Compelling chronicle!
Comment: STAY TUNED is bound to be another success from Joe Garner. The addition of the DVD is incredible--it features 2 1/2 hours of actual clips, narration by Bob Costas (sports), Dick Van Dyke (entertainment), and Walter Cronkite (news), AND behind-the-scenes interviews with producers, newscasters and more. This is far more than a coffee table book.
STAY TUNED has such broad appeal, covering moments from I Love Lucy to Survivor, Comaneci's perfect 10s to Tiger's Masters win, and Princess Diana's wedding (and death) to the 2000 election debacle.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: Glosses over some matters of importance
Comment: The DVD accompanying this book is a treasure, I use it in my video production class. The book is passable, but not as insightful as others. Buy this for the DVD
