The untold stories of seven revolutionary teen shows â The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, My So-Called Life, Dawson's Creek, Freaks and Geeks, The O.C., Friday Night Lights, and Glee â that shaped the course of modern television and our pop cultural landscape.
What The Reviewers Say
Thea Glassman proves a sharp observer of the era.
The success of the book is Glassman’s decision to focus on the creators and writers, rather than the cast. Even readers unfamiliar with these shows will likely find the book so engaging and well-written that they’ll want to binge-watch many of the series as soon as they put down the book..
A fun, nostalgic look at how classic teen TV shows have influenced modern television.
