"McGrane and Gunderson have put together an extraordinarily provocative stream of sociologically inspired responses to television. Nothing could be more "relevant" to students, and in the right hands, this is a resource for a learning experience that at once maximizes critical and creative thinking. McGrane and Gunderson give new life to sociological thinking."a "Jack Katz, Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles

This book was created over years of discussion, classroom experiments, exercises and interaction. This book is also the process and product of the interaction of two individuals working with ideas. Its creation is the antithesis of what we are critiquing. It is the result of a dialogue and human relationship. This book addresses a very different relationship, a "relationship" to televisiona ].a "televisionship," a one dimensional imprinting relationship without dialogue or living human interaction. It examines a relationship with Platoa (TM)s "cave" and the contemporary media matrix that continues its existence.
