Summary: Great book!
Review: I received this book for my birthday and I really love it. I'm a huge entertainment fan and jumped at the chance to get all the behind-the-scenes content that comes with the dvd and cds, because I've never really seen that in any other book, and Joe Garner really did a great job of gathering influential moments that anybody can relate to. i recomment this book to anybody who has an interest in the entertianment history of television, because Stay Tuned really delivers.

Summary: Book was good, DVD stunk!
Review: I was disappointed with the whole thing: mostly commentary and not much content; I'd have expected and would have liked more of each show and less of the commentary. It felt to me like the authors missed their mark and focused on their documentary rather than on the subject(s). I wouldn't recommend at all, even at the reduced price from the original retail...

Summary: Stay Tuned: Television's Unforgettable Moments
Review: It has Evel Knievel in it and on the DVD,thats good enough for me.Plus the other stuff is interesting also,alittle bit much though an alot of the pictures are blurry,,not sure if thats the way they were,or they are trying to be artsee,or just to cheap to get the rights to good clear pictures.

Summary: Dynamite Book!
Review: Joe Garner has packed this book with some of the greatest moments in television -- what a great way to revisit past events! This is the kind of book that you want sitting on your tabletop -- makes for great conversations. Can't count how many people have enjoyed flipping through its pages while sitting in my family room! Love having the DVD too.

Summary: A Class Act
Review: Much as I've enjoyed some of Joe Garner's previous books, this one is in another class altogether. Not only are the stories in "Stay Tuned: Television's Unforgettable Moments" laid out elegantly with photographs and commentary, but the DVD which accompanies the book contains something like two and a half hours of original TV and film footage, with the story of each 'moment' arranged in the form of a mini-documentary. In addition, there are 'behind the scenes' type interviews with people who were directly involved with each episode. And the narration by Bob Costas, Dick Van Dyke, and Walter Cronkite is top notch. It's especially amazing to see Mr. Cronkite talking about events that he was so deeply involved in when they occurred. I liked the news pieces best, but watching the highlights and discovering the odd hidden nuggets behind classic TV shows like "I Love Lucy" and "The Fugitive" was a lot of fun, too. Both my dad and my teenage daughter liked watching it - that's saying something.

Summary: Entertaining!
Review: STAY TUNED is a fabulous book! Every page completly engages you with its tour through five decades of unforgettable moments in television. Joe Garner covers everything from the most entertaining, shocking, and devastating moments captured on t.v. The DVD accompanying the book features 2 1/2 hours of original footage and behind-the-scenes interviews. If you liked Garner's previous books, you'll LOVE Stay Tuned!

Summary: Compelling chronicle!
Review: STAY TUNED is bound to be another success from Joe Garner. The addition of the DVD is incredible--it features 2 1/2 hours of actual clips, narration by Bob Costas (sports), Dick Van Dyke (entertainment), and Walter Cronkite (news), AND behind-the-scenes interviews with producers, newscasters and more. This is far more than a coffee table book.STAY TUNED has such broad appeal, covering moments from I Love Lucy to Survivor, Comaneci's perfect 10s to Tiger's Masters win, and Princess Diana's wedding (and death) to the 2000 election debacle. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Review: The DVD accompanying this book is a treasure, I use it in my video production class. The book is passable, but not as insightful as others. Buy this for the DVD
