The Cult TV Book is a
compilation of essays written by people who have studied television
and/or worked in the industry. Essays cover topics from what makes a
show "cult" (audience investment and loyalty mostly) to fandom
behaviors, levels of celebrity, and case studies on specific cult
favorites like Buffy, The Prisoner, and Doctor Who. My most beloved
shows have all generally been "cult" and I liked seeing old friends
that no one seems to know (like Wonderfalls) name-dropped among these
glorious televisory pages. A fun and informative read for anyone who has
loved a television show
