Jerry M. (jamblazer) reviewed When Television Was Young: The Inside Story with Memories by Legends of the Small Screen on + 21 more book reviews
Easy light reading...written by Ed McMahon who was a pioneer in the early days of television.
Very good chronological presentation of technological advances, as well as Hollywood's reluctance to allow "real movie actors" to be on television. Television was seen as "below" a real actor's skill. However, advertisers eventually settled the issue when they started realizing that television was reaching more people than movies!
