Description
The revolution has been televized. Over the past fifty years, television has undergone a profound transformation, from the bland wasteland of 'play-it-safe' broadcasting to a vibrant landscape of sex, violence, and corruption. Today, viewers have more power than ever to select what they want and when they want it. Pandora's Box is a major new account of the small screen, revealing the dynamic interplay of art, commerce, and technology. Through exclusive, candid, and colourful interviews with writers, showrunners, directors, and actors, Peter Biskind brings us face to face with the people whose creations we encounter every day on our sofas. We follow executives down the corridors of power and see how their money and guile cultivate, then crush creativity, as well as witness the making and unmaking of TV's biggest hits.
