Television is one of the most important socializing forces in contemporary culture.

This book is a cultural history of prime-time television in America during the 1990s.

  • Examines changes that took place in programming, such as the rapid adoption of cable, the proliferation of content providers, the development of niche marketing, the introduction of high-definition television, the blurring of traditional genres, and the creation of new formats like reality-based programming
  • Argues that television programmes of the 1990s afforded viewers a symbolic resource for negotiating the psychological challenges associated with the shift from the Industrial Age to the Information Age
  • Explores the ways in which television provided viewers with tools for coming to terms with their fears about living in the fast-paced, increasingly diverse, information-laden society of the 90s
