February 21, 2008 - Listen to the Jukebox, Send Some Feedback

I'm happy to report - thrilled, actually - that the two remaining pieces of the TV WORTH WATCHING puzzle are up and running, and ready for you to check out and (I hope) enjoy. Click on the TV JUKEBOX and FEEDBACK buttons on the navigation bar, and dive in.

The JUKEBOX page is designed to showcase some particularly worthwhile CD collections of TV show themes and soundtracks. Some, presented on the left column of the page, will offer a single song sample. The featured CD will present 10 tracks, listed in the jukebox, with individual reviews and streaming audio.

As on the FRESH AIR page, the idea is to read, then listen, or the other way around. (By the way, there's a new update of the FRESH AIR page as well, adding more of my all-time favorite reviews.) And on JUKEBOX, there are links so that anything you like, you can click to buy.

The FEEDBACK page is designed to hear from you, on specific topics, and share TV memories. The two starting questions ask about your first favorite prime-time TV series, and - sigh - your first TV sex symbols.

Special thanks, as always, to Eric Gould for designing these website pages so cleanly and creatively, and for Chris Spurgeon for implementing them with computer magic I can't begin to comprehend. But I can appreciate it - and even I had lots of fun road-testing the JUKEBOX page, especially.

I hope you do, too. Let me know... and f you have other favorite TV soundtrack or theme CDs you'd like me to highlight, let me know that as well.

If the strike has left us with less quality TV Worth Watching, at least we can focus on some TV Worth Hearing.

David Bianculli

Behind David in the picture is the first TV owned by his father, Virgil Bianculli, a 1946 Raytheon. (The TV, not his father. His father was a 1923 Italian.)

David Bianculli has been a TV critic since 1975, including a 14-year stint at the New York Daily News, and sees no reason to stop now. Currently, he's TV critic for NPR's Fresh Air, occasional substitute host for that show's Terry Gross, and teaches TV and film history at New Jersey's Rowan University. His most recent book is 2009's Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,' and he's at work on another.
