"[Lyons] displays, in addition to still other virtues, anattentiveness to visual texture and theme as refined as that in thebest film criticism. This book offers the richest account of asingle television program I've ever read, describing a definingshow of the Reagan years...Lyons's treatment of the series'conflicted ideology is equally illuminating."
