Kissing Bill O'Reilly, Roasting Miss Piggy : 100 Things to Love and Hate About TV

Summary: Love some of Tucker's opinions; Hate others
Review: You have to love a well known award-winning critic, who is willing to praise Aaron Spelling and pan M*A*S*H. Of course he also takes the time to take down such icons as the Smother's Brothers, who in my opinion have been foisted upon the American public as the be all and end all of high brow political commentary (try sitting thru tapes of some of those old shows.) I was especially floored by the chapter about Vengeance Unlimited -- an obscure show starring Michael Madsen -- which Tucker very accurately calls one of the most underrated shows of the '90s. Anyone who is that on point with his comments is worth listening to. I certainly didn't agree with everything in the book -- but my Spider-sense is that was the point. This book is interesting and well written and Tucker is not afraid to go out on a limb and tick people off. There's alot to both love and hate about that kind of approach. Whether you love or hate TV you will love this book.
