Product Information
Everybody makes mistakes. But when television makes them, they are viewed by millions of people and captured forever on videotape, to be watched and talked about for generations to come. What Were Thinking? counts down the top 100 most memorable mishaps in television history, Organizing the material in this manner invites readers to discuss and debate whether Cop Rock was really a bigger fiasco than The New Monkeys, or whether the presentation of Elvis Presley only from the waist up on The Ed Sullivan Show was a sillier bit of censorship than the coverage of Barbara Eden's belly button on I Dream of Jeannie. The blunders in this compendium take many forms - good and bad, casting catastrophes, and TV events that weren't. Each entry is covered in a detailed essay.Product Identifiers
