Need a laugh or a feel-good moment? Maybe a show that the whole family can watch? Ten writers, primarily from fields including journalism, television, entertainment, and fiction writing, collaborated on curated lists, from shows that get your pulse racing (Game of Thrones; Lost) to cozies (both the UK and U.S. versions of The Office; Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). The pithy write-ups offer an excellent sense of each program, describing salient story arcs and main characters, run times, debut year, and rating (TV-G, TV-MA). The amusing infographics and illustrations add to the enjoyment.
VERDICT Even dedicated television hounds are sure to discover something new. Well organized, readable, often humorous, and highly recommended.
