TV:Sex, Lies & Promos Apr 15, 2000 By James MacKrell
Wow, how complete! I've been in TV for over 30 years and I have never seen as informative a piece of work about the industry. The book covers all aspects of the TV World from a extremely knowledgeable position. The authors did themselves proud and preformed a service for anyone who wants the "inside skinny" about our truly American Industry. Good read for the insider and the causual viewer alike.

A behind the scenes look at how TV shows are marketed Apr 04, 2000
I'm a student studying TV advertising and marketing and this book provided what my college texts and professors didn't: a real behind the scenes look at the inner workings of TV Promotion. It's funny, hip, cynical, smart and contemporary. I feel I have a better take on what this end of the business is about from people who've been there. I'd recommend it to anyone starting out who is considering a career in television. Well done!

TV: The Story of Smoke & Mirrors comes alive! Apr 16, 2000 By Steve
These ladies hit the industry right between the proverbial "rabbit ears". Witty, crazy, ballsy and bold! They tell it like it is and take no prisoners. It certainly motivates you to want to get into promo and be creative to break the old rules and make up some new ones... "Must See TV" move over - this is "Must Read TV"!

Something in it for everyone! Mar 30, 2000
This book is both informative and entertaining! I am in the television industry and I found the book to be an accurate description of the ups & downs of the business. Best of all, it made me laugh out loud.
