Another Shopping-Weekend Reminder: "Fresh Air" and TVWW Recommendations

Make your holiday shopping easier: I just broadcast a report on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross about recommended TV-shows-on-DVD sets to give as gifts -- and Diane Werts has assembled her own foolproof lists, sure to have something to please anyone. Come check it out...

My Fresh Air holiday roundup, which aired on Thursday, can be heard by clicking HERE.

That'll give you a good start, about sets as Charles Kuralt, the Golden Age of Television and Ally McBeal... and a lot more.

And then, our two TV WORTH WATCHING holiday gift pages, compiled by our own Diane Werts, are available on the banner links above BEST BETS, or by clicking the links below.

By now, I hope, you know where to find Diane's ongoing list of holiday programming shown on television this year -- but in the spirit of the season, let's make it easy.

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.
