Summary: Okay, but no real substitute for watching them.
Comment: This "Rough Guide" is pretty rough; it's a pocket-sized trip through it from a British perspective, but that's no real handicap, and it does try to cover not only the shows but also some of the movers and shakers, websites, available paraphernalia, urban legends (like the whole Captain Pugwash character names thing), etc.

The trouble is that this is likely to be of more value to those who haven't been introduced to the shows before - shot through with inaccuracies (the capsule review of "The Simpsons: Songs in the Key of Springfield" gets it mixed up with "The Simpsons Sing the Blues"; "Danger Mouse" is touted as the first successful cartoon exported to the US, a point "Speed Racer" fans would debate strenuously; "Danger Man" and "Secret Agent" were the same show, not two different ones...) and not revealling much to those already in the know, it's an okay time-killer in the end, but one for the casual viewer.
