With a New IntroductionUnsurpassed since its first publication, Inside Prime Time is the only book to take us behind the scenes to reveal how prime-time shows get on the air, stay on the air, and are shaped by the political and cultural climate of their times. Using more than 200 interviews with network executives, producers, writers, agents, and actors, as well as months of on-set investigation during the networks’ more prosperous years, sociologist and critic Todd Gitlin takes us into a frantic world searching for hit shows.
