elevision
is a form of media without
equal. It has revolutionized the way
we learn about and communicate with
the world and has reinvented the way we
experience ourselves and others. More
than just cheap entertainment, TV is an
undeniable component of our culture
and contains many clues to who we are,
what we value, and where we might be
headed in the future.
Media historian Gary R. Edgerton fol¬
lows the technological developments and
increasing cultural relevance of TV from
its prehistory (before
1947)
to the Net¬
work Era
(1948-1975)
and the Cable Era
(1976-1994).
He begins with the laying
of the first telegraph line in
1844,
which
gave rise to the idea that images and
sounds could be transmitted over long
distances. He
t
considers the remod¬
ehng of television s look and purpose
during World War
11;
the gender, racial,
and ethnic components of its early broad¬
casts and audiences; its transformation of
postwar America; and its function in the
political life of the country. He talks of the
birth of prime time and cable, and the in¬
fluence of innovators like Sylvester Pat
Weaver, Roone Arledge, and Ted Turner.
He further discusses television s entrance
into the international market, describing
the ascent of such programs as Dallas and
The Cosby Show and the impact these ex¬
ports have had on transmitting American
culture abroad.
Edgerton concludes with a discerning
look at our current Digital Era (1995-pres-
ent) and the new forms of instantaneous
communication that continue to change
America s social, political, and economic
landscape. Richly researched and engag¬
ing, Edgerton s history tracks television s
growth into a convergent technology, a
global industry, a social catalyst, a viable
art form, and a complex and dynamic re¬
flection of the American mind and char¬
acter. It took only ten years for television
to penetrate thirty-five million house¬
holds, and by
1983
the average family
kept its set on for more than seven hours
a day. The Columbia History of American
Television illuminates our complex rela¬
tionship with this singular medium and
provides historical and critical knowledge
for understanding TV as a technology, an
industry, an art form, and an institutional
