The World According to Beaver

By Irwyn Applebaum, Jerry Mathers

The highest compliment I can give a book is that it made me laugh out loud, and this book did frequently. If you're a "Beav" fan, you've got to read this. The book is neatly divided into quotes, biographies and a synopsis of all episodes (including the "soup cup/billboard" episode-my personal favorite). There's even life according to Eddie Haskell. Buy it but be prepared to sneak peeks at it when you should be doing something more "adult-like".

Inside Gilligan's Island

By Sherwood Schwartz

The creator of Gilligan's Island takes readers on a three-hour tour through the show's complete history, from its creation through its syndication to the upcoming off-Broadway musical. Schwartz describes dealing with network brass, relates how tentative cancellation of Gunsmoke may have led to that of Gilligan (odd as it seems, Gilligan was on only three seasons; what with all those reruns, it sure seems it originally ran for much longer), and makes the case for gentle, funny entertainment. 105 black-and-white photos. 8 pages of color photos.

Tube of Plenty: The Evolution of American Television

By Erik Barnouw

Television's greatest moments are here, and Barnouw does a excellent job of devoting appropriate amounts of time to each.

The book also features a useful 11-page chronology, an excellent biographical notes section, and exceptional indexes. It is tremendously compelling reading. Don't pick it up before your favorite show, because you won't be able to put it down in time!

Does Anybody Have a Problem With That?
Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits

By Bill Maher

Politically incorrect humor is nothing new. It seems most jokes from stand-up comedians through the years have poked fun at race, religion, gender or sex while the rest have intended to be downright offensive. (Remember Don Rickles?) But Bill Maher has refined his humor on the nuances and sometimes ridiculousness of all things "politically correct." Host of the talk show "Politically Incorrect," he unloads a collection of his gems for this book, such as: "Should we require a seven-day waiting period to have a child, and if so, would it be called the Brady Bunch bill?" One book you won't want to take to the Rainbow Coalition meeting.

The Rants

There's good news for those that rage at the evening news, shake their heads at Washington's business-as-usual, or watch as politicians carom from social crisis to political crisis to economic crisis: Dennis Miller is back, and he means to shake the nation by its lapels. Miller respects no boundaries. Whether the subject is dope-addled baseball players who can no longer swing their bats, do-nothing politicians who devote their careers to creating meaningful sound bites, or the nation's resigned acceptance of violence as a way of American life, these thematically arranged monologues are funny and angry. More significantly, they shatter the conventions of comedy by simultaneously making us laugh, think, and seethe.
