Masterpiece: America's 50-Year-Old Love Affair with British Television Drama By: Nancy West


Oh, how I do Love Masterpiece and Mystery, and oh how I LOVE this book.  Charting the inception of Masterpiece Theater, and thus giving a history of television, this wonderfully detailed look at Masterpiece is tightly written and full of jaw dropping facts about this classic and timeless show.  Detailing how and why Masterpiece is so popular in the states, the reader is led on a journey through television history, politics, culture, cultural shifts, performances, locales and a enduring qualities, that have presided over Masterpiece for the past 50 years.  Masterpiece Theater made it's debut 39 days before I did and I've been with it ever since!!!!
