Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
I'm Kirk, He's Stubing: Classic Television On The Couch finds life lessons in the classic television shows of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Is it a source of strength and hope in these troubled times? Or a satiric lampoon of the literature of this "self-help" oriented New Age as we explore such issues of intense significance as Herman Munster's pain as a socially-rebuffed "person of color"; Ben Cartwright's commitment to "family values" (he is, after all, a single parent); should we feel compassion for the "One-Armed Man" as a physically challenged victim of society?; and if Sgt. Joe Friday was still on the LAPD, would O. J. 's Dream Team have been able to play the "race card"? I'm Kirk, He's Stubing is a wonderful tour-de-force, generously illustrated with photographs from classic tv. But be forewarned! Some of those shows may never be viewed in quite the same way after reading this book!
