Reviews

Bringing together a diverse group of scholars, Friends, Lovers, Co-Workers, and Community explores the various ways that television shapes our many relationships in life. Taking seriously the role that television (and television-like content) plays in our life, the authors make nuanced and careful arguments about love and romance, family and friends, identity and culture, and fandom and community. From Christmas TV movies to Veronica Mars, from Arrested Development to Mad Men, the range of topics are as diverse as the television content analyzed. For those with even a passing interest in the development of contemporary television content, this is must-read scholarship! -- Paul Booth, DePaul University
