On My Radar (Thursday Edition)

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Tunes Into TV
Portable Press
Trade Paperback

From the book publicity:

What does Homer Simpson call "friend...mother...secret lover?" Television, you meathead. Here comes your wacky neighbor Uncle John to present TV the only way he can. From test patterns to "Top Chef," from "My Three Sons" to "Mad Men," TV news, advertising, scandals, sitcoms, dramas, reality shows, yadda yadda yadda, "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Tunes into TV" is "dy-no-mite!" Read about...Lucille Ball's only flop; Talk Show Wars: the long list of talk-show hosts who took on Johnny Carson...and failed; TV firsts--the first commercial (Bulova Watch), the first exposed belly button ("Gidget"), and the first toilet in primetime ("Leave it to Beaver"); "House of Michael Jacksons" (a bunch of Jackson impersonators living in a house together) and other unsold reality shows; and much more!
