Anyone read this before? Or any other good books about the great TV series (Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc.)? Thoughts?

My sisters birthday is coming up, and probably over 50% of our conversation is about TV series, so I figured it'd be a good gift.

It was OK, but I read Sepinwall's book ("The Revolution Was Televised") first so that may have affected my view of it some. Preferred the Sepinwall book to Martin's.

Honestly didnt know if there were even books - or good books at least - about TV. Just searched Amazon after thinking about it and found that book.

This would be my favorite TV book I've ever read, but I'm a sucker for SNL and oral histories. Biggest negative now is that it's almost a decade old so not completely up-to-date. Still, if your sister loves/loved Saturday Night Live, it's really hard to beat. I think Eddie Murphy is the only big name associated with the show who didn't participate (outside of the dead ones, of course).

Now, if you want to branch out into Hollywood in general, then by all means you should go with The Kid Stays in the Picture.

I really liked Sepinwall's book but haven't checked out Difficult Men yet. I am a fan of Brett Martin as a writer and plan on getting to his book soon.
