Introduction
Adjunct Lecturer Walter Podrazik has just published the fourth edition of his acclaimed book Watching TV: American Television Season by Season, co-authored with his longtime collaborator Harry Castleman.
This milestone was recently featured in a Chicago Tribune article celebrating the book’s impact. Here’s a snippet from the piece:
Chicago Tribune Quote
This is the fourth edition of this remarkable book, published by Syracuse University Press, and I asked Podrazik how it came to be, long ago. And he said, ‘We had so enjoyed doing the Beatles book and I asked Harry, Now what? And here we are.’
