Product Description
A couch potatos book of wisdom 100% commercial free!
Some say that entire generations of Americans are being raised by the televisionlike thats a bad thing. Not so, says author Jeff Alexander, long-time television writer, advocate of education by television, and recapper for the popular website Television Without Pity. Here, he offers the ultimate in life lessons as seen on TV. Topics include:
Saved by the Bell: School on TV
Somebody Save Me: Super Powers and Magic Spells
Tell Me Why I Love You Like I Do: Relationships on TV
Making A Living: The Workplace
And more
With a smart, snarky style, Alexander guides readers through important lessons gleaned from years of TV reviewing (now in convenient book form!), freeing up a whole new generation to learn other things, like how to cure cancer or solve world hungeror anything more useful than watching TV (Authors note: Just joking there is no such thing).

Television IS educational!!! July 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
For those of you who grew up in the 70s and 80s, go buy this book. Anyone born before or after that, go buy the book for someone you know that was born in those years - they will thank you for it. Alexander has taken a look at the TV shows I used to watch and put them into categories no one has before. Television isn't as mind-numbing as once thought, especially when viewed from an expert perspective. This book will have you laughing out loud (and you won't care that people are looking at you funny). And the end of each chapter has hilarious things to try (or at least think about trying) that will tie the whole chapter together for you. I can't recommend this book enough.
