Just try and get the commercial jingles and TV-show themes out of your head after perusing this shiny little paperback that's a mishmash of familiar images (Ricky Schroeder, circa Silver Spoons), whimsical lists (e.g., actors appeared on the The Love Boat,), and snippets of memory-triggered melodies ("It's a neighborly day in this beauty-wood...") The books pages are organized randomly, much like recollections themselves-and it's eye-catching design and imaginative text set it apart from other pop-culture tomes. So while trivia buffs should look elsewhere for boob-tube data, nostalgia fiends will adore this goofy, stream of consciousness voyage through the history of TV land.
