tv towns

I thought TV Towns was just fabulous! It's fun, informative, and full of interesting facts about a variety of television shows. I couldn't stop reading about all the programs I watched as a child-from 'Dark Shadows' to 'Petticoat Junction'. It really brought back fond memories of my favorite shows growing-up along with some more recent addictions like 'The Simpsons' and 'Dawsons Creek'. If you want to know where to dine in Cicely, Alaska or how high the murder rate is in Cabot Cove this is where to look. I especially enjoyed the "Did You Know" sections for each chapter. Mr. Tropiano is an informed, witty writer. This book will make a great gift for anyone, including yourself!
