It isn’t theater and it isn’t movies; it’s television! Not only was the technology new, the format was also new and exciting. Ed McMahon relates how television developed from an unknown medium to being a part of everyday life from the perspective of one who was there. Often funny, always interesting, the reader learns how the actors, writers and technicians made television into the medium we have today where the only rule was, “Try it and see if it works.”
