Summary: CLASSIC TV BUT NOT A CLASSIC BOOK
Review: The book seems to be grounded primarily in one person's personal opinion rather than a public opinion poll. You will cringe to see what episodes made it to this list, and you'll be disappointed that some shows never even made it. This book is only a moderately enjoyable bathroom read. Several inexcusable factual errors forced me to put the book to rest in a recycle bin.

Summary: Great Compendium of TV Humor!
Review: This book does a great job of listing, describing and ranking the funniest TV shows, including some current shows and those from years past. I thought the effort to "quantitatively" rank the best episodes from particular shows based on a variety of "objective" factors was particularly novel and interesting -- as well as being very funny. The book is written by someone who obviously loves good TV and who appreciates what makes some things very funny. It is an authoritative account, but its both comical and accessible. I can heartily recommend this book to anyone who has ever laughed while watching a TV show!

Summary: CLASSIC TV BUT NOT A CLASSIC BOOK
Review: This book is a collection of lists. But many of the lists are nonsense lists that are just cute attempts at humor.The highlight of the book was the 100 greatest sitcom episodes. Even if I could figure out their formula the list is at best controversial. As another reviewer indicated some of the episodes that made it made no sense to me. The number one episode in the list was not even, in my opinion, the number one show for the series. It was a good episode but ... TV Land is a great network. "TV Land To Go" is not a great book.

Summary: A Handbook for any TV Fan
Review: This book is sure to become a favorite For anyone who considers themselves a fan of classis TV. Cleaver, thorough, and fun, it is essentially made up of two different sections. The first includes a variety of different lists such as "10 Best TV Genres", "Top 10 TV Moments", "Top 10 TV Actors" and more. Each list is informational but never without a great since of humor. The second half is a list of, according to the author, the Top 100 Sitcom Episodes ever. Each episode is presented in the book complete with a summery, episode credits, and trivia concerning the episodes and the series themselves. Like the lists, this section is also extremely informational without losing a highly entertaining quality to it. Only a few disappointments can be found in the book. For instance, why is the highest-ranking "I Love Lucy" episode only number 26? Is there any chance for a recount? In any case, this is still a great book and highly recommended for any Classic TV fan.

They recall things such as the 12 worst movies based on TV Series, the 8 Least memorable TV Shows of All Time (how sad is it that I remember some of them!), and culminates in the 100 best sitcom episode of all time.

Summary: For Fans of the Pop-Culture Phenomenon
Review: TV Land has become an Entertainment Staple for millions of Boomers and Genreation X-ers alike. This book is definitely picking minute thoughts and blowing them into "required trivia". The "lists" are often picked out of thin air, with no real purpose other than to throw out some entertaining nonsense...discuss amongst yourselves! Be sure to consider this book more like a collection of clever jokes than some kind of research source. Just like the annual TV Land Awards Show, we're not taking anything seriously at all, we're here for the laughs, and nothing but the laughs. For those who agree that times passed have delivered much more of the ha ha ha on TV, you are going to like this book!****

Summary: Star-riffic!
Review: TV LAND TO GO is a great mix of facts and fun. Tom Hill has managed to cram an incredible amount of information into one volume, and his breezy style makes for a very pleasant read. I found myself cracking up over entries like "The 10 Worst Shows Based on Movies" (anybody remember FERRIS BUELLER?) and "TV Land Haiku." But the detailed and loving analysis of the top 100 sitcom episodes is outstanding. Each episode is actually ranked on criteria like "Emotional Resonance," "Gimmickry," and "Writing, Story." There's a phenomenal amount of detail, including actor cross-referencing and plot "reality checks." Give this book to all the TV addicts on your list. Heck, give it to non-addicts and maybe you'll hook 'em. All this and a foreword by Adam "Batman" West...gotta love it.
