Book: Smoke And Mirrors: Violence, Television, And Other American Cultures Media critic John Leonard offers a provocative challenge to conventional ideas about TV. Taking on a diverse range of topics from kid shows to cable, from the cheap thrills of action adventures to the solemn boredom of pledge drives, Leonard argues for a whole new way of thinking about television.
A probing, provocative examination of television that Rolling Stone called "dense, funny, and smart as hell".
