Librarian's note: This edition's ISBN is in conflict withThe Glass Teat.

Pyramid Books had undertaken to publish virtually every book by the controversial Harlan Ellison. Novelist, short story master, winner of more science fiction awards than any other writer, film and T.V. scriptwriter, creature of myth and fantasy, Ellison is a registered gadfly and troublemaker. For the opening shot in Pyramid's salvo of Ellison explosions, this underground classic of television criticism is the first of two books on the most potent medium of communication the world has ever known. When it was first published, the book mysteriously vanished from newsstands. This book is being used in many colleges as a knowledgeable view of T.V. from the inside by the only man ever to win the Writer's Guild Award for Most Outstanding Teleplay three times. The strange disappearance of this book has perplexed the enormous horde of Ellison freaks and fans. Now, in a new introduction written especially for this edition, you'll find the startling answer to the enigma. Readers will have a hell of a good time rampaging with the world's wildest writer.
