Kissing Bill O'Reilly, roasting Miss Piggy

the long version

"Everyone has firm beliefs about what he loves and hates about TV, whether this belief system is formed while watching that syndicated Seinfeld rerun for the twenty-ninth time or waiting to see which sad young thing some pathetic Bachelor will choose." "In Kissing Bill O'Reilly, Roasting Miss Piggy, Ken Tucker, the pop-culture critic for Entertainment Weekly and New York magazine, writes in the spirit of television itself, producing a collection of prove-me-wrong arguments, proudly vulgar tirades, and carefully reasoned mini manifestoes. If you think the high point of televised political wit was MASH, or that Johnny Carson was the true king of late night, Tucker will do his damnedest to convince you that you've been hoodwinked, duped by pixilated mists of memory and bad TV criticism."--Jacket.
