Overall I felt that the descriptions should have been longer, but they were in depth of actual experiences of people on game shows. For example when it talks about The Price Is Right, Maxine Fabe describes one lady's actual experience on the show. The lady wins her pricing game and the showcase. The prizes include a living room group, $1000, and a new car. Also I felt that there should have been more pictures, but overall I gained some insightful informatio

Some books on game shows provide an listing of the history of the programs that fit the genre,others offer personalized experience. "TV GAME SHOWS" By Maxine Fabe does both. There's plenty of pictures and Ms.Fabe's top ten picks (they don't exactly match mine) plus her picks for worst games and game show sets...(Gee, I liked "The Moneymaze" and "Magnificent Marble Machine".) An update to this edition would enhance its usefulness. Still, it provides an indepth historical view of this durable television genre.
