Was it really a golden age? Prime Time Rising gives a personal voice to the excitement of watching TV in its start-up years. From Milton Berle to Jack Paar, I Love Lucy to The Twilight Zone-Wrestling and Roller Derby to the Kennedy-Nixon presidential debates- Lewis offers a fast-moving panorama of television's meteoric rise through the 1950s. He traces early-day programing milestones, and how the new marvel matured as a news-reporting participant through one of the most polarizing decades in American history. A decade as reviled as it is revered. From Gunsmoke to Omnibus, rigged games shows to live dramatic adaptations equal to a seat at the theatre-they're all here, honestly covered and thoughtfully reviewed. Tune in for a prime time read!
