Everything I Really Need to Know I Learned from Television

Rating:
Summary: Funny, right on target
Review: Ever wonder why the heroine twists her ankle whenever she's running away from the bad guy? How come all the actors who play high school kids look like they're 30 years old? The authors skewer TVs cliches and assumptions in a very funny illustrated manner. Everyone who watched the Brady Bunch or Dukes of Hazzard must read this book

Rating:
Summary: Better than Mad Magazine
Review: Now here's a clever little book chock full of funny drawings that are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud or you are seriously lacking a sense of humor. You don't even have to have watched any television to enjoy the visuals.

Summary: Satire on the absurd premises of television
Review: This satire of American television is very funny. The cartoons in the book poke fun at some of the cliché's that are the staple of network television shows and commercials. My favorites are:

* Teachers and parents are all idiots who are easily fooled by kids.
* Each of us has at least one identical look-a-like, usually evil.
* There really IS life on other planets, oddly enough, all the aliens speak perfect English and look suspiciously human.

and the best:

It is possible to jump through a plate glass window and not get a single cut on you!

I enjoyed every one of these cartoons, they are all accurate depictions and make you think about the absurd premises that some television shows are based on.
