Before the release of Star Wars in 1977, the books available on science fiction on television were but a scant few. This book, fortunately, was one of them.

I have owned my copy of 'Fantastic Television' since 1983, purchasing it off the out-of-print bookshelf at a bookseller here in the Twin Cities. The copy I had read and referred to thousands of times as a teenager belonged to my brother who received it as a birthday gift. ... Read More
