Do You Remember TV?: The Book That Takes You Back
You will never forget the "Brady Bunch" double episode in Hawaii. But do you remember "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway"? Can you recite the Oscar Mayer Wiener jingle or win at "Name That Tune"? Have you seen every "Love Boat "episode with Charo in it? Take a Technicolor journey back to the days when cable and satellite were science fiction and the boob tube had three channels that signed off at 1:00 am to the national anthem. "Do You Remember TV?" resuscitates the most vivid moments of our couch-potato youth with 144 pages crammed full of television tidbits from the late '50s, '60s, '70s, and early '80s. From Good morning, angels to Good night, John Boy, from the Oscar Night streaker to Oo Oo Mr. Kotter this tiny tribute to the great days of TV brings back the favorite moments that are forever lodged in our collective TV unconscious.

A Blast From the Past.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I wasn't born in the 50s or 60s but I remembered about 3/4th's of the shows, commercials, jingles, names and other stuff found in this book. It was a nice little stroll down memory lane and a refreshing blast from the past. That's basically why this book was created: to give readers (and television viewers) a pleasant jaunt down memory lane in television land. You won't find much tv trivia here (though there are a few nuggets scattered throughout the pages), but what you will find are a lot of glossy photos, memorable phrases, and a wave of nostalgia. Great gift for any lover of television or student of popular culture.
A lighthearted, fun-to-look at book

This is a wonderful little book for anyone who likes TV, or even someone who doesn't. The cute, colorful design includes great pictures and a pop-art feel, and includes random photos and snippets of trivia from "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood," "Gilligan's Island," "All in the Family," and dozens and dozens more. It even includes pages devoted to classic commercials and news broadcasters, and classic news moments. A great, great book for families to look at together and remember.
If you were born in the 50's or early 60's it's a must have!

This book was the HIT of the latest 40th birthday party that I attended! What a delightful and refreshing walk down memory lane! You must purchase this book for all of your friends who were born in the 50's and early 60's. Do you remember PSSSSSST? This book did not forget a thing! What about green shag carpet? Thanks for the laughs and the memories!

It is amazing. These guys really have their finger on the pulse of what I remember from my childhood. I think we must have been at home watching the same programs. I don't have the first book, but I surely recommend this one !!!
